Congrats!

Thanks guys!

Should I get the RAC breakdown? I was planning on getting ADAC, I'll be going to France at some point in June.

Legal cover is a must, right?

Yaayuh! · 17 May 2016 at 16:18

I have cover with my bank. I would advise it, but shop around outside of insurance and see what you can get.

IC3 · 17 May 2016 at 16:26

Ok, I'm going out, taking the Yi with me so later at night I'll edit some footage and post it up!

tom_e · 17 May 2016 at 16:28

I'd recommend some form of breakdown cover, shop around though you can pick it up for next to nothing using cashback and money off deals.

You better make the footage interesting! I'll already be watching one run of the mill commute on my way home.

Congrats dude

IC3 - If you go for RAC breakdown, make sure you go through Quidco for cashback. Quite a decent amount tbf aswell

So just had a call from the dealer for the new bike - should pick it up Friday.

Now.......

The bike I gave them, the SV they will not accept it as the frame is damaged and has had some welding done to it and they said would be a write off.

The HPI check came back all clear other than the colour had changed.

So I don't know where I stand with this.

Any advice?

wazza300 · 17 May 2016 at 17:35

Hard to say without seeing the damage/welding

Aslong as it's repaired well and the frame isn't twisted I don't see any problem?they probably can't sell it on like that idk

If it's not showing up as a cat c it just means it's unrecorded and someone's welded it/fixed the damage without going through the insurance

IC3 · 17 May 2016 at 17:42

Thanks all, got back home... rush hour is horrid to ride in, I want to go out later when it gets dark to test the headlight. :cool:

Isn't he restricted to like 25mph

Flack88 · 17 May 2016 at 17:51

Well done IC3 no more 125 ever again

IC3 · 17 May 2016 at 18:00

Exactly, no more 125's!

My mate is getting back into riding after a crash, next week we'll do a mini trip.

I need to remember to fit my proper sized plate for my MOT next month, didn't think about that when I was sticking my new one on with industrial strength double sided tape

Find a better tester, mine was fine ignoring the 7x5 and gave me a reflector stick on thing.

Gotta have a Nazi tester to pull you up on a plate!

Holy Moly those whites are white!! Need to get yourself some bug splatters LOL.

Congratulations on passing and to anyone else that has recently

I'm tempted to get the GoPro session for some bike footage for the summer
