Caught out by cold rear tyre

Cases been on mine since spring 2010 - put them on before 2 week trip to Mugello via the Alps 'just in case'

Nobody will spot them and at some point a case may turn up if you want it put back to perfect.

 

That's what I was thinking bud!

 

Cold tyres cold Tarmac little bit of throttle and your off , your not the first and won't be the last being there done got the t shirt and the bill £650 ,you learn quick with a hefty bill ,call it a bit of in experience does not make you little I hold my hands up I've done the same many years ago ,the sun will soon be out be patient you don't see racers testing over here they go to warmer climates

 

Stop it all blade we know your from a different breed

 

I was out on Sunday, went to Charlie's deli next to P&H in Crawley for a great breakfast, stuck to the main roads on the way there but the B roads were fine on the way back.

 

Got new nose fairing fitted this morning and got a new front tyre at the same time so nearly sorted just got to order some engine case protection from GB racing to hide the scratches until I can afford new a new engine case

 

Just make sure you don't perform the same trick twice and lowside the front!

That reminds me, Axle protection is well worth the £30 odd quid also!

I like the Gb Racing covers. I have a timing cover in great conditionif you want it? I replaced mine with a yoshi one.

 

Yes that would be good thanks

 

Hi, I know this is somewhat disconnected from the subject, but all the insurance quotes I am seeing have really high excess and so called "voluntary" excess where except for third party you are almost self insuring - the term comprehensive seems irrelevant.

What do most do - comprehensive or TPFT and fix it out of your pocket if needed?

I will be comprehensive the first year because its a continuation of an existing policy, but thinking next time around to go just TPFT.

Any thoughts?

Cheers Landy

 

Depends how old U R and how much of a Risk they deem U?

I pay £290 Fully Comp with a Compulsory Excess of £200 and £0 Voluntary Excess

 

Just renewed my insurance yesterday. £350 excess, £114 comp with Bennett's, that also includes Legal protection, Breakdown, Helmet and leathers.

 

Sorry to hear about your spill.
May I suggest these.

 

Interesting, seems I need to search a bit harder when its renewal time. Thanks for feedback, seems to be a really live and informative forum.
