the insurance cant do anything about the amount even if I got it for 1000 they have to offer me the market value at the time like the guy who was in the papers for biggest car insurance claim ever made he had a f40 or f50 they had to pay him out over 800000 due to its market value if went up in price he dint pay 1/4 of that when u brought it new am not saying my bike went up in value I just got it really cheap
you misunderstood me, i meant statements like ' abused fuck out of it even wrote it off' its like saying it was your fault. which they dont like, suppose your paid up, they arnt gonna fight you for it now are they! ha ha
it was my fault went from rossi to crutchlow in 0.5 seconds flat couldn't pic it up this time on my elbo like I normal do
yer man no problem hoping to pic 1 up soon as they come outspend a bit to much on a new car but money should be ok in time for march
I've experienced something similar in the cold. I found that I needed to blip the throttle very slightly a couple of times before the engine caught. Need to be careful with running the battery down - I'm sure it'll never bump start unless towed by a lorry!! - or flooding the engine.
Ok, so I have the girl back in the garage for another run. Apparently there was water around the spark plugs, both of which were replaced as well as a plug lead. An earth lead off the battery was also replaced as a precautionary measure. It's been suggested that I need to take the fairing off for a more thorough clean. I would be interested if you all do this as I haven't done this in the past. My 11 year old 955 Daytona is still running pretty sweet and other than a good clean with all the plastic on and a chain clean a couple of times a year, that's the limit of my TLC.
My bikes never see water. They get a good clean with Mr Sheen* after every ride out. *other furniture polishes are available from good stores, and some rubbish ones around the country.
I'll qualify the water thing........if I get caught out in rain whilst I'm out then I'm caught out. For example last year when I went for a long weekend in Scotland it rained solidly for two days. The bike was filthy and grimy. I had to thoroughly clean it when I got home. But ordinarily if I know it's going to rain then it'll stay in the garage. It's not that I don't like riding in the rain (I actually quite like it), it's that I hate cleaning bikes.
