    Hi, I bet that majority of us have some experience with accident claims, unfortunately. Mine is coming to an end, and I was being advised to open a personal injury trust to save my awarded sum into, if I am to protect my right to ever claim state benefits in the near or far future. I've never claimed benefits in my life, but one never knows what the future entails. My question is simple: are there any 'better than others' personal injury trust accounts? I cannot see any difference from one company to another so I wonder if there's anyone out there with more info. Thanks in advance!

    got the day off today, but I should have stayed in bed.... car wouldn't start, so had to trouble shoot and worked out it was the leak off pipes, so £35 lighter, fitted them and then the battery was drained so had to buy a battery charger £29. So whilst that's charging, I did a bit more on the fz engine, the ratchet spanner I was using slipped upwards and got wedged between nut and engine, i could ratchet it but not get it back over the nut. so I've just left it for now,too hot and bothered and will have to grind the spanner in half to get it off (lovely spanner too) at least the car started and ran ok after a lengthy charge, but what a waste of a day

    Sounds weird, but I am having issues with not being able to a) order membership (may have been taken down) or b ) see some parts of the forum as it just errors. Now working within IT myself, the store looks to try an auto link to a paypal account, but no payment selection options are populated (possible issue with the store settings on the sites cPanel), and the other pages that don't show correctly are either dead end pages or orphaned links. Anyone else having these issues (BTW, already send Alex a message, but he hasn't read/responded yet)

    Managed to get out yesterday afternoon after the rain stopped, went to Newlands corner my local bike haunt, got talking to an old guy (my age) who had just got back on 2 wheels after a few years off, he has just bought one of those new old 500cc Royal Enfields, I don't know how he managed to talk as he had a face splitting grin the whole time, it made my day to see how happy this guy was,

    I was on my way home from work tonight, riding from Wigan to Bolton when I passed a guy hunched over what looked like a pre war bike at the side of the road. I turned round and pulled up to ask if he needed a hand. Indeed he did, the clutch had failed on what turned out to be a 1933 Coventry Eagle Silent Superb and he was going to need a hand to lift it into his van. I spent a very happy 20 minutes chatting with Brian, the owner whilst we waited for his brother in law to arrive with the van. Describing the Coventry as his 'new' bike Brian told me his usual ride was built in 1903 ! In the 20 minutes I spent there a rider on an MZ also stopped to offer assistance and to ha…

  10. Started by Cynic,

    I noticed a couple of things with the update. You may (i was) have been logging in with your log in name, or email address. At the moment that will not work. In this update currently you need to use what used to be your display name. ie what is showed to the forum on your posts/threads. In my case cynic. Do not try to use your email address as the instruction suggests, that does not work. Hope this helps. A lot of the issues seem to be clearing up. So normal (sic) service will be back soon.

  11. Hey guys Im currently riding an SR125. Great bike but really feeling the need for something bigger and two opportunities have just landed in my lap I have two mates selling a bike each. One is a virago 535 for £800 in good condition The other is a 1990 Honda CBR1000 Streetfighter custom build in great condition for the same price (tho i havent seen it yet, seeing it on wednesday) This friend has been building bikes for decades and his work is great I have been riding since October last year and passed my full test in april of this year. I have been looking at cruisers for a long time and the virago seemed like a logical next step enjine size wise but to be h…

  16. Started by slice,

    Just a quick query, has anyone used this stuff? As I now have the FJR and want to keep it in the best condition I can I was considering using this stuff but don't know enough about it to make a decision. Any thoughts on it would be appreciated. Oh and one other thing it is an expensive option but does last (they say) about 20 years plus it has no corrosion in the engine thus keeping it free from the usual crud that builds up over time even with the best anti-freeze.

    Ok, have decided to get rid of the Benelli Trek and now have my eye on: Triumph Tiger 800 Honda Crossrunner 800 Honda CBR600F (new version) Anyone have experience with any of those (Bippo ) that they'd care to share? And yes, I know the Crossrunner looks like a jetski in pictures, I haven't seen one in the flesh yet!
