Not really. They (whoever they are) seem to open and block book a bunch of random and highly unlikely email addresses, (hence why I can determine the good applications from the bad ones) and then try to join up. In the main they “seem” to come from Russia but you do get them saying the isp is in the US, Vietnam or Lithuania.
You can afford it, based on what you are prepared to spend on the new bike +..... Claim back on your home insurance, then again, you'll only end up paying for it in the long run with next year's premium!
The bots/likely bots are “held up” for checking. Sometimes good applications (around 5%) are held up as they have strange/ridiculous usernames or email addresses so they need to be checked too.
Yeah I won’t bother with the insurance. At the moment it’s all drying out with space heaters, but I’ll need a bit of remedial work doing once it’s all dry.
I know what you mean, such a soulful character and after all the money I’ve ‘invested’ in it But I’m thinking maybe nostalgia isn’t what it used to be Might keep it yet, or even eBay it, when the time comes.
Both bikes will do the job, but yes in agreement with you on old school bikes as they can be a nightmare.
