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) ...

... and had 3 attacks. I fail to see why a 12 year old girl needs to be put under that sort of pressure. That is absolute madness. I have said for years we expect too much from children and they have no idea what they really want to do with the rest of their lives at that age. Why can't we allow ...

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 ...

Re: In, out or shake it all about?
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

... Our tax laws are specifically designed to help big business and the wealthy slide out from under and not pay tax at all, if possible. Is it 7 years, I read the other day, since Osborne's family firm paid *any* tax at all? Never mind, though. Let's get those immigrants and those poor folks ...

Re: Sprockets
I'd never bothered to look at that in fairness.. I used to use O-ring chains but found they were crap so bought an XW ring chain and 2 years later it's still like new, I don't think there's a single seized link I'll stick with a steel front sprocket though, that must take more abuse that ...
