Spada Enforcer WP gloves
... WP gloves size L. These are in nearly new condition - I think I wore them maybe twice. These gloves were winners of the Ride Best Buy award a few years ago and they are really comfortable - this pair was a replacement for a pair I lost. I'll take £50 or reasonable offer for these - a proper bargain! ...

Insurance renewal time
Last year I had a zx6r and a Z1000sx to insured. 4 years NCB.
Total paid with all of the trimmings was £546. Not cheap but that's the joys of no garage and a claims history.
Renewal has just come through. One bike and full NCB. £496.
Time to switch companies

I remember the 2005 GSXR750 rep well and the bike in the first post is complete rubbish.
Funny how it crops up on the exact day BS passed away 14 years ago.
