The Joy of Breaking down :(

Turns out my Stator went... needed a rewind and testing. Also needed a new battery so with that a bar end replacement, new wing mirrors and a new Indicator housing its cost me a lovely £430 to get it sorted

Bloody Bikes.

very easy jobs im sure can be done for half that pricing, check out wemoto for parts

It is all done now. Tbh, I could have probably sourced it all easily but I simply do not have the time at the moment to do it myself.... Or the space. Plus with it costing me £39 a day at the moment to get to work I needed it working ASAP

Luton FTW

I could not live without break down recovery as my luck I would get stuck 50+ miles away lol.

Not sure who the best for bikes RAC or AA?

I always had Motorcycle SOS sent out to me in London. Had the same bloke twice within a week which was quite funny (when my reg/rec decided to die).

The RAC just sent a car guy out who charged the battery and said if I needed a tow he would have to call for a guy with a trailer so that wasn't ideal.

I have spoken to my insurers and have dedicated motorcycle break down cover now but tempted to get a second external policy as not 100% sure if I trust them after last time.
