Hi all,just bought a '02 Bird yesterday after impressive 40 mile test ride ,got 5 miles after parting with much cash to dealer (white brothers,darlington) when joy was diminished by 4 inch screw in rear tyre! ,lifes a bitch etc.All credit to the shop however as they sent someone to the rescue straight away and have lent me a new cbr600 untill they fit a new tyre to my 1100xx(even the 600 is WELL impressive after my 17 year old cbr1000,which i've kept as i cant' bear to part with it!).Are'nt insurance companies complete twats(I know i'm stating the obvious!)?,£750 was the best quote I could get for comprehensive on the'Bird with my other 2 bikes added on .Anyhow,should have the back on the road in the next few days .
Hope to meet some of you nutters(I have been watching...)in the future on ride outs etc.
