Re: Bike Insurance

Bewiser? Don't. Just don't. A few years ago I had a quote from Be Wiser for two bikes - cbr600rr and a brand new zx6r. I wanted a single policy, fully comp. No problem. They came in cheaper than anyone else and Carole Nash (who I was with) ...

Re: In, out or shake it all about?

I think the original concept behind European Union was to prevent war in Europe. Europe had two wars in the space of 40 years both of which escalated to World Wars and killed millions of lives. I think even Winston Churchill mooted it as a way to prevent it happening again and to allow ...

There hasn't been an armed conflict between member states in 70 years since the EU was started. You're welcome to dispute that if you'd like, but you'd be wrong. How do we know if the EU was not started there would have been conflict in Europe ? Surely ...

Re: Chain and sprockets

I was warned off DID a few years ago, but by all accounts they took on board the criticism and they're not back to being high quality
