welcome

you will enjoy - I note that you are in the bar so, mines a large gin and tonic please

(Too early to really start quaffing!)


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Hi and welcome :smt006

Yes, Falcos really are a bargain for what you get - as evidenced by the number we have on the forum from Scotland and Yorkshire .... plus the rest of us tight souls from around the British Isles and beyond !

We just tend to shop around - some insurers seem to be better for some ond other insurers for others.

There is a section of the forum for discount schemes which has an insurance section but TBH you don't tend to get any insurance discount out of it. Some (all?) give a kick-back to the forum if you take out a policy which helps with the forum running costs so we don't all need to chip in quite so often - but don't take the policy out because of that - make sure it's right for you. If it is right for you, then go in by the forum link

Hi, I looked at that comparison site with an opera singer and a well dressed small likeable speaking rodent.
Inittially the quotes were shite, then prices dropped a lot over days, shop around.
If you're still in the bar, I'll have a Molotov cocktail please :smt006

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

More north than Inverness? Bloody hell!!

Welcome Hiscot and well met, Hopefully the forum will prove a wealth of knowledge and a place on the tinterweb to call home amongst likeminded people!

While you're buyin' i'll have a 18 year single malt of your choice, a packet of ready salted crisps and a 6ft blonde female from scandanavia.



and a set of steps.
