You want me to pay for an antivirus?

I don't pay for my ESET lol, u mad?

 

[IC3]

Ah I see. Say no more.

Haha, what's your insurance like for a naked SV650 e.g. 06?

I find confused to be the cheapest comparison site, for car and bike.

 

[IC3]

The funny thing is that 3rd Party in my case, is the worst cover I can get and the most expensive... £826.44

 

[IC3]

I'm too young and too sexy for a cheap insurance. Jokes aside, is that TPFT or Fully Comp?

 

[IC3]

FC.

Lucky... What grade is your postcode?


Avoid MCE at all costs...

I saw a white 15 plate street 675 today, looked nice. 7.5k new would be my only option, it needs to be 70kW from factory and from what I've read they can do a custom map and restrict it to 70kW.


So many interesting bikes that are 5-10bhp away from the legal limit...

 

[IC3]

Triple is 108 so far too powerful

Filter through by selecting Triumph, have a look for yourself what bikes is within A2 cat.

You could argue that the bike is a legal A2 qualifying bike.

Edit:

But... 'The Street Triple comes as standard 79kW, and from the new shape onwards (2013/62 plate) you could order a 70kW version with 35kW restrictor direct from Triumph.'

95.2bhp* and yes it can... read my edit

 

[IC3]

93.871546216 BHP* If you want to be pedantic about it

Look at the goverment website, not some 3rd party site...

That's the "awesome taste" benefit kicking in. Next come the ladies

More like, "You bought a British product, enjoy lower insurance cover"

 

[IC3]

I think the avoid MCE thing is more to do with the LOL excesses and that's why they're cheap. £800-£1000 excess? No thanks!

Mine is £275 (£0 voluntary, like all quotes I posted) with MCE

@Clovis, about that moped post... is that you on the triple and me on the ped? --->>>> https://www.facebook.com/ElCatrechimba/videos/966531690093204/

 

[IC3]

Hahaha that's epic! I want one!

Its a Vespa with either 177cc polinii or 192cc MHR.




Edit:
I've heard that the SV gets nervous in the corners when you lean more, would that be the reason for GSX1100 suspension on this SV? BTW What do you guys think? Rice or... ?

That SV650 is 15 miles away, I'm tempted to go and view it. But the price is very suspicious...

 

[IC3]

I'll skip that SV, it seems way too dodgy.

"Special just like you" sounds a bit offensive imo... I still lol'd at it

The MV Augusta F4 is a sexy bike, especially the RC and RR. The RC starts from just £32k

Hi All,

So picking up a bike on Saturday after 1 year of no riding but it will be my only mode of transport and I will be doing 60 miles a day commuting (Dartford crossing included) so I am looking for my first helemet camera.

I would like those who use them to give their opinions on what ones they have as I do my own research. Your opinion does matter as the camera wont be just for commuting but for fun times too.

Thanks in advance,

Brackish

Xiaomi Yi

 

[IC3]

Passed the theory, the score is exactly the same as my car theory... lol

48/50 and 69/75

Booking Mod1 and Mod2 now

 

[IC3]

Well done mate, when can you take your MOD1?

After my birthday in may, I called DVLA to see whenever you cna do the test first and wait till you hit the age to ride. But it seems like you can't...
