Re: What are you doing today ??

Took the Blood Blade out for a spin... she's not quite finished yet (waiting for the pannier rack to be fitted then the panniers are being vinyl'd to match) but it was such a perfect day in the 1hr sunshine window I had to stop for a pic or two :)

Re: Blood Bikes

Tried to PM you and for some reason didn't send - the ride out to there for me is pants... motorway... :( How about meeting half way between us somewhere like Bridgnorth? Or if you want the longer ride somewhere like Wistanstow?

Or is this ride out location something pre-planned with other people?

Problem with 2 single policies is you can only use your NCB once so doesn't usually work out anywhere near as competitive as a multi bike policy.

Re: Insurance headaches!

That was a separate policy just for the second bike... and not including my current bike!!! So the total would actually be nearer £2000 or £9000...!!!!
