£26 for insurance?! Where is you bike locked up, in a small area gauded by men with machine guns, tanks and for the real cunning thieves, nuclear warheads!?

That's the price to change bikes mid policy I think Rossgo. I'm pretty sure it's not the total premium.

Yep, as I said "To transfer the policy" not for a whole new policy but looking on comparison sites it won't be too much more than I'm paying now especially if I take the commuting cover off which I don't use anyway. Work's main carpark is NOT secure.

Do you know if they are opening on Monday? Might have a run down if they are and can't see it on their website.

They do open Mondays but I'm not sure if they're open this Monday.

Hang on, I'll ask.

I asked the sales manager for you - they're closed this bank holiday.

Want me to look at it tomorrow for you?

If you would please mate, I can't get out of work to go down myself. It does look good in the pics.

I had a good look today. The last owner dropped the bike in his garage so there are scuff marks on it. DMC said they will tidy the bike up but I'm not sure what that means - if it's just touch up paint or replacing parts

There are some scuff marks on the top box as well.

It comes with top box and panniers, heated grips, satnav mount, extended screen and some other bits

Thanks for doing that, it looks great so i will call them on Tuesday, i dont finish until after they close tonight.

Rad guard and engine case covers would be my first additions so the scuffed clutch cover is no bother.

Are they usually good at haggling there? :D
