  1. I would recommend the stormex cover. You could also look at motorcycle tents. I used to keep a bike under a cover but use a tent for one of them now. For me it saves the hassle of dragging it into the workshop.

  2. When you open it, click on the forum you want - if you have more than one. Click "forum" at the bottom of the page. Click "timeline" this should then list posts newest first. If you aren't on timeline click the 3 horizontal bars on the top left and then timeline. The 3 horizontal bars allow you different options and the page will return results depending on which you pick. The general forum one is rubbish but timeline, unread convos etc are quite good. In my humble....

  3. Plus they are trying to reduce the old systems support. XP hasn't been supported for over a year (the NHS brought an addition year of support for a lot of money as most of their systems used it). Converting windows 7, 8 and 8.1 users to 10 for free means that MS and developers will be able to just focus on 10 functionality. 10 is supposed to be able to be used on all gadgets so PCs, tablets and phones so people who "fully convert" may see a lot of the same functions on different pieces of kit they may own.

    I quite like 8.1 but XP and win 98 were my 2 favourites.

  4. Once you get your head around it, it's quite good. I tend to use the timeline function.

    Just remember to turn off the tapatalk strap line otherwise it adds it to your posts it every time you post something.

  5. Hell's teeth mate those bloody 2 stokes are expensive !!! All that for a ring ding-a-ding noise & a teeth rattling ride. :biglaugha:

    And the smell, don't forget the smell..........

    My other half says I stink when I ride the strokers. It could be the oil; or it could be the smell of fear!!

  6. Well mate, once you put it out there........They have no qualms about hacking the voicemails of murdered children so posting your vid would not even register on their moral compass. Oh and fek the cyclist, give him enough for an eye test

    Well said Jimmy about the first bit.

    As for an eye test, if you can't see a bus in broadside view, no visit to specsavers is ever going to help!

  7. The bikesure agreed value policies are a little painful to get going. Multi bike is even more so as they always seem to forget to send you the cert for the second bike. I do have to say that their system for old NCB is good. I could just scan my letter through and upload it direct to the bikesure site.

  8. I thought the same however, now I think it is a good idea. Here is my logic;

    Given that the average length of vehicle ownership is 18 months and it is only one part of a month across vehicle ownership then the actual "loss" isn't that great. The biggest winner for me is the fact that it now forces people who buy a vehicle to either go untaxed or buy tax - and you can't do that without insurance and MOT (if required). You also heed to register the sale. Yes, there are some ways of semi dodging this but if you do, some of your details will be recorded somewhere. It will reduce the number of people motoring without the correct paperwork.

  9. I am glad you got it sorted insurance should be cancelled as soon as you don't have the vehicle. There were some horror story's going around a while ago about ex owners, who hadn't cancelled the insurance for a vehicle they had sold, being liable for the excess on a crashed vehicle because they were still insuring it.

    What gets me is when I re insured the FZ, swintons (previous insurers) said that without me telling them I don't want to renew with them they would have automatically reinsured the bike. Another is the credit searches that the compare sites do - even if you want to pay in one go or at renewal time and you haven't asked for a compare quote again!
