Didn't even know about the Ibex, that certainly needs a look! I have been thinking about the new Voge 625 (I don't need a sports bike at my age
) but the Ibex comes with double the warranty by the looks of things...
Mot passed and just done 75 miles up to the coast.
Having a coffee and a sandwich and warming up a bit and then head back.
It's nice out today although a still a little windy but not like the last few days though, and the roads are dry which is the main thing.

Always paranoid about placing helmet on bars..
If you fitted a motorcycle trailor you could have place for helmet storage

That's the plan, but bike prices in Europe are crazy af... I need to add a good £2k on top compared to UK market.

Yea we spend a fair bit of time there the in-laws have a static caravan at the pinewoods.
I'm swear the guy behind the bar at the Eddie recognises me now.
All of that area up in North Norfolk is beautiful though we've been going up there for nearly 20 years.
Pleasant surprise from Bikesure today, renewal came through, and I was expecting a sting as last year it was £771 f/c with full ncb. But the renewal price is £261 
Seems like a mental difference, as they only thing that's changed is the fact I didn't crash in 2025.

Imagine that, not crashing makes your premium cheaper
Mine was about £80 cheaper this year for some reason, not that I’m complaining (I’m also with Bikesure).
Shouldn't crashing be a learning experience? It means you made a mistake, you'll learn from that therefore in the future you'll know not to do that again and become a better rider.
Yes, that's correct. Ring up your insurance company and ask them to reduce your premium because you become a better rider every time you fall off your bike.
Tell us what they say.

Need to call up Adrian flux about my renewal as they want £380 odd but I can get it with bikesure for £210 for same cover or £180 without leathers cover.

There's a grain of truth to that though, sure you damaged that bike, but if you wrote it off applying front brake mid turn, then on the next bike you bought then you'll know not to apply front brake mid turn.
