TUTORO Chain Oilers

I just bought on of these and fitted it last weekend http://www.tutorochainoiler.com/ Gotta say I'm really impressed, cheap (£20 ish, delivered), easy to fit (although the cable ties I got with mine snapped meaning I had to make a trip out to get more, which took longer than the actual fitting :) ) ...

Wicked Quotes?

Has anyone had any experience of getting insurance through Wicked Quotes? Through 'The Bike Insurer' website they quoted me £145 fully comp with protected NCB, much cheaper than MCE (£320), Carole Nash (£390); but they did include breakdown cover. I've never heard of them, but 'The Bike Insurer' cla...

She said 'Mmmgghmh mmmgmhpghmm mmmmgh'

The sperm bank has been struggling since I left (hey, I have good genes :)): )so they decided to trial donation by post. They money is handy, so when I read the e-mail I came in a jiffy.

Re: Bike Modifications?

Did anyone see the article in MCN about Insurance companies refusing to pay out for undeclared mods? One guy even had a claim initially refused because he hadn't informed them of the Chelsea FC stickers on the bike, another had a claim refused for not telling them about his heated grips. The claims ...

Beauleiu Motorcycle Muster

Is anyone from the Bristol area going to the Beauleiu Motorcycle Muster this sunday (27th)? All my mates have cancelled for one reason or another (ie football-still, it should mean the roads are clear :)): )

Re: laser eye correction any had it?

I was considering having this done until a friend of mine who was working in the Bristol Eye Hospital at the time spoke to one of the doctors there on my behalf. One of them pointed out that the process involves cutting away healthy tissue that many people rely on in later life. :o I'll stick with c...

Re: Chrome frame

It could be polished, but I have an old GPZ with a steel frame I'd like to give a new lease of life to. I was going to just get it powdercoated black along with the engine, but shiny is, well.... shiny :D

Chrome frame

Anyone know where I could get a frame chromed in Bristol? There's a SRAD GSXR parks outside my work with a chrome frame and it looks sweet. I'd ask the owner where he got it done but he's must be on nights because the bike is there when I arrive and gone by the time I get into the lab

Re: Postcode Lottery

We recently moved within BS4 (band D, I could have guessed) and my partner went from parking her car on the driveway to on-street parking and still got cheaper insurance at the new address :D

BTW, anyone know a good bristol based company that lay driveways?

Hi everybody

Hi, just wanted to introduce myself.
