I'd understand the premium if the bloke was Russian .



I had to stop at 1:25... Can't watch that.

Some shameful sh1t there!... it's just beggars belief.. given the close proximity of some of the cars.. I would imagine the probability of a fatal accident are extremely high.

Quite old now but if you haven't seen this its well worth a watch. Gives a good impression of the issues of a blue light run.

That's not far off my mortgage payments, when I last had one in 89/90

That is an envious statement.
The sooner you get on, the sooner you get off :cool:
Over pay and it can go away pretty fast - just don’t get married...:rolleyes::eek::oops:

That's very true.. I was looking recently.. and you can pay back in 10 years by overpaying on a mortgage that might be 25/30 years.

My last bike back in the 70's was a BSA Gold Star DBD34 which I thought was the nuts. I believe the insurance was about £20 but I am not sure now. :confused:

16 years ago I was the Dealer Principal of a Triumph dealership down here in Suffolk. Whilst I was there I thought I would take a Bonneville up the road just for fun and scared myself to death as I had not ridden a bike since the 70's. I can't even begin to imagine what a modern bike is like :shock:. Whilst I was there we had a customer with a Hayabusa with a Nitro tank FFS :eek: I don't know whether he is still alive to-day :rolleyes:

Put both of my bikes together on a multibike policy (as only had NCB on the CBR) (CBR8600 and 1200GSA) £126.08 for the year :) pretty happy with that.
