Finally got around so sorting this today.
Ended up with Bemoto. £372 for their titanium cover, so breakdown and helmet/leathers cover too.
Pretty pleased as Devvit was considerably more expensive and didn't even try to keep me.
Apparently, even if its 100% 3rd parties fault, your insurance still goes up as in the insurers eyes you're a higher risk.

Nice day for a ride, got out late afternoon and when back had to shake the flies out of the jacket and my lid looked like it had grown a mowhawk out of them!
Driving up the M1 today and in front of me was a rider with a pillion. I assume his girlfriend. He started weaving about in his lane and the girl on the back started swaying in unison, almost dancing on the back of the bike. They looked so happy.
I've started looking around for bikes. I miss riding too much

I went on the Norfolk Police Safe Rider course yesterday. What a great day. The classroom session was last Tuesday - today was the glorious practical session! Really good event, well planned and executed on some great roads. Good times!

Yeah, missed the chance to get out yesterday for a number of reasons. Guess I'm going to the gym instead. Yay bank holiday activities.

The weather for you guys sucks - just to rub it in, it's a nice day here in Norfolk. Hitting the gym shortly, then might get out for an afternoon blast later

Its not raining now, we had just enough to ensure the bike would get covered in crap if I went out

BeMoto were great to me for over 10 years, but this year they came up double on my policy and couldn't do anything about it - >£300 on a 2019 Himalayan vs £95 with Bennets with similar cover.

You can tell the sun is out, some very questionable riding by CBTers in the last few days. Nearly had a bonnet ornament on the way to work this morning.

Even seeing some of the model names brings back memoriesOh the memories & the prices..
I had a Micron on my MBX125 (and a full head sorting from the bike shop where I worked when I was 17) and iirc a Allspeed on my FS1e, which did (in my head) 60 mph.

Think it was a micron on my first bike as well

Was your fairing timmed a little at the top? I had two in succession, the second one I got me a very posh (used) black Micron. It instantly went nowhere until about 5000 rpm and then went potty to about 6500 haha. The later powervalve made sense but I loved mine. I have no idea how many miles I did on them both but it was a lot including through two winters. My first came from Bob Gotts in Norwich, the second came from a private seller near North Walsham. Wish I'd got photo'sThink it was a micron on my first bike as well
, both mine were the more common white with the red.Kick kick kick kick kick kick kick, breathe, kick kick kick kick kick...
