1000 flippin' euros!

That's how much they want to insure my Blackbird 3rd party only, here in
Spain.

Apparently, people keeep killing themselves on motorcycles. 3 deaths in
our village over 2 years. It's 200 euros to insure a moped, and they
fall over laughing when I mention the size of my bike.

Ah well, there goes another chunk of my retirement fund. Might have to
get a job at this rate.

 

Pero - pero - pero - vale. Tienes razón.

Anyway, I've just had a very competitive quote of an amazing 679 euros.
I think I'll have me a piece of that action.

¡La carretera, aquí vengo!

Sounds cheap to me.

 

Better than 1000. Still not quite as good as the 250 quid I was paying
in the UK for 2 bikes.

 

That'll be "Tía Carola", I suppose.

The only "British" insco I can find here, is Direct Line. I've got my
car insured with them, but they won't insure any bike until one has been
a customer for 13 months.

You want a nice Burgmann you do

£190 for three bikes.

 

Which one of yours is a group 16 litre+ bike?

 

Talking of which, have you played with yours yet?

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Paul Carmichael

Eh? Direct Line will actually take on foreign risks?
