I am in a similar position, although born in England of Irish parents, I consider myself Irish. I too love England and it's people (most of them anyway). I am pleased that the English want to have their own identity back, for far too long it has been buried under "British" which is no more than a political constuct. It is England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland that are real nations, especially in cultural terms. One request, can I still be allowed to support England at sporting fixtures against anyone but the Irish Republic, and drink real ale? I ain't keen on Guiness.

It's the name we use for our part of the place others call England. It is used to denote the fact that we are decended from Jute settlers, not your common Anglo Saxon mob. That or I am talking rubbish to cover a typo.

Just joined, I haven't even got the Yam yet, pick it up Thursday. A 97 diversion 900. I will probably have some questions then. I do my own maintainance, so will probably need some advice for a while. Bit of a departure for me, first 4 cylinder bike I have had for 30 years. Been riding a long time. It is all touring and doing bike rallies. My other bike is a 2001 Guzzi Jackal, I have had from new.

I have been using Footman James for a couple of years, just added a second bike and it was cheap. I think you were unlucky, I have always found the service good. I have called them from the Czech Republic and got the cover extended past the 35 days a trip maximum. Took about 5 minutes. They do tend to make sure all the Ts are crossed though. I pay £168 full comp for a Yam 900 Divvy and a Guzzi Jackal, including european wide breakdown with home start. Mind you I am an old fart with dokeys years no claims.
