| foc-u, hacking and your data (a warning) |

As far as I know, foc-u has not been hacked and no data has been stolen. This post is just a warning, a heads-up.
** Forum hacking has become more and more common. **
There's nothing bad about foc-u's security and we are probably not big enough to be a target. However we should have it in mind.
Therefore: - Don't have the same password for foc-u as your banks (etc).
- Don't send personal information via PM. If you have done so then delete those PMs.
Please note that this is not related to getting spam postings, which you should continue to report using the 'Report to moderator' link.

| Bike write off advice |

Hi All,
I have managed to throw my bike down the road and into the back of a car. I am ok but dealing with the insurance and repair companies is turning out to be more painful than the accident.
The bike is an 03 600 foxeye and the damage sustained was a smashed front mudguard; scuffed and scraped front wheel, scuffed fork lowers; heavily scraped LH fairing; heavily scrapped LH engine cover, bent LH foot peg. bent radiator.
The bike went to 4th Dimension in Egham Surrey and has been with them for 3 weeks. The have called me today to say it is an uneconomical repair which has surprised me as the bike was rideable after the accident. They have said there is £3K worth of damage.
They have offered me £2k in settlement minus my excess of £300 which will leave me £1700 towards a new bike. As I have never been in this situation I have a few questions
1. Can I ask for my bike back in the condition I gave it to them and will I incur any costs?
2. If they do give me it back can I repair it and put it back on the road?
3. If they have written it off can it go back on the road?
4. Can I ask for parts off the bike [it had a system 3 alarm on it]
5. Is the £2k negotiable [if I think it is worth more than that]
As I said I am a bit green in this area and would like others experiences or advice before I go back to them?
Thanks Badger

Greetings fellow foccers,
Iwas wondering if anyone knew anythign about Speedwell Motorcycles in Fishponds in Bristol.
I got my 99 FZS600 from them in April, I've been laid up since mid July from shoulder surgery, and now it seems they've shut. Website is down, phone number doesn't work.
I'll try and swing by this weekend tosee what's up with the actual shop, but does anyone know anything?
Failing that, anyone recommend a good place to go in/near Bristol to get any work I need done on the bike doing? Bad shoulders and lack of experience means I rely on garages a little more than i'd like just now.
Preferably in or near north Bristol.
Thanks
LTC

I m doing the Lofo ride on Sunday and plan to head to Bicester down the A5 from the north passed Jacks cafe turn right onto the A43 to then turn left onto the A413 to head to Buckingham. Now there is a big event on at Silverstone so will I be able to use this route and how bad will the traffic be, travelling through there about 10am.
