Renewal came up on the car insurance with the AA @ £178.


OK time to do some surfing.


Moneysupermarket came up with £117 with Swinton....................... -£61


They followed up with a mail shot offering me THE LOWEST QUOTE and £100 cashback ???????


Phoned them up and 2031 questions later the call centre guy proudly offered me his BEST quote........... £238................. + £ 121 ???


SEEYA.


Went back online and proceeded to accept the £117 quote.
All details OK but I wanted to change the renewal date from 23rd. to 24th April.

Got to the checkout page and the quote had increased to £141 ?????????

Start again, leave it at 23rd, paid at £117 ................ saved £61 :thumbup


When I checked the insurer it turned out to be RSA.................. the same company as I am currently with at the AA ???????????


Those poor sods without access to the internet are getting RINSED.

looking at one from pryamid anyone got a pic of it fitted to a thou.. not sure if it will be too much blue?

Today the country says goodbye to the Iron Lady ,Margaret Thatcher,


A woman who rose to great heights doing what she believed in and won world wide respect from country leaders.


The people of the country elected her as the first lady prime minister and the people of this country loved and followed her to the extent that they re-elected her two more times.


It seems that her followers are a respectful bunch of nice people who will be saddened at her funeral and will celebrate the highs of her career,they certainly would not celebrate the death of another politician from another party or wish any hate to them or their family.


RESPECT

Been doing some research, quite fancy a carbon end can but Scorpion (as on my 600) is too expensive at £349 (pretty sure my can was about £80  ok it was in 2002!)

What about Beowulf? They seem to do a carbon can for about £200 to £230 - any good reviews?

Looked at Fuel but they seem to be a bit old fashioned.

Akropovic are just well out of my price range, not sure what else is any good?

Just taken my carbs off......again - this time for a stuck float valve.

Whilst its in bits, has anyone on here got rid of their air box and fitted 4 conical k&n filters directly to the carbs?

If so what was the result? I know it will need a jetting kit but did it produce any more HP or was it a disaster? Is it worth the grief? I have considered the standard k&n replacement but everyone does that!

Also can anyone help me out with some k&n part numbers? My carbs have a 50mm inlet diameter and I trust you guys and girls more than a random sales assistant!

I might do it for the hell of it!

Thanks, looking forward to some replies.

  Over the past couple of days I have noticed a strong petrol odour prior to starting (bike stored under a cover) and whilst sat stationary in traffic. Not noticed it before and the only change is my helmet (a temporary piece of cheap crap that replaced a aria that broke) Bike runs a little rough at low revs and idling (will sort filter & spark plugs) but nowt to worry about.

Apart from a fantastic song by Lynyrd Skynyrd is there any suggestions on That Smell source or do you have the same experience with your pride & joy.

Hi LoFos!

There's a meet of Honda Civic EM2 owners (lol) in the South Mimms services this coming Sunday, the junction between the M25 and the A1M. It apparently attracts quite the crowd, quite a few Jap cars and even a few Jap bikes. I'm going to take the piss out of a friend (who has a Civic), anyone else fancy coming?
