I would've expected it to be closer to four > figures. I sold a new Z750 restricted to 33 bhp to an 18 year old lad a couple of weeks ago, his insurance is 550 quid TPF+T. Not bad I thought for his second bike and only just passing his test. Previously only ridden an R125 Yamaha and within a couple of days he'd scrubbed the Z's tyres right to the edges - we like this lad, he makes us smile at work. -- Lozzo Versys 650 Tourer, CBR600F-W racebike in the making, TS250C, RD400F (somewhere)

Tell me, how did you know how to parent before you had kids? As a step-parent, I've realised what every parent with a bit of self-awareness admits - we all make it up as we go along. -- Champ We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed.

Quite enlightening. Grandparenting is interesting. As I remarked to an heir the other day, "Just because you are carrying a quarter of my dna does not make you immune to disassembly". -- steve auvache VN750 Third gear has scope.

As usual, I struggle to make any sense from your posts. Are you saying that your parents bought and insured your first vehicle for you? -- Champ We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed.
