Flash flood hits the farmyard rally tonight

Nothing without 'every'.

 

True.

 

Paul Carmichael scribbled:

The bloke lying underneath?

 

#If this desert.s all there'll ever be
#Then tell me what becomes of me.
#A fall of rain?
#That must have been another of your dreams,
#A dream of mad man moon.


Ah.. memories..

Phil.

 

"Ride your motorcycle over me"

 

Memories?
#Memory - all alone in the moonlight.
#I can smile at the old days,
#I was beautiful then.
#I remember the time I knew what happiness was.
#Let the memory live again.

That'll teach you to impose Phil Collins on us!

 

"of them" is quite essential too.

 

Verdigris scribbled:

"accomodate him"

EEEEWWWWWW!!

 

A lot of bikers can only afford TPFT Champ.

 

LOL! He's a method actor.

 

ROFL

 

ITYF I meant exactly what I said.

 

Very true, and I did take your point. It's just that it was your point, not
mine. It's easy for a relatively well off biker to forget that the majority
have to run their bikes on a shoestring. Fully comp insurance is simply
unaffordable to most.

 

I doubt that these days the majority do run bikes on a shoestring.
Biking's not primarily a mode of transport any more, it's a leisure
activity, how many old bikes do you see around?

I commute on a daily basis (when going to my office) and rarely see old
bikes on the road anymore (old is, say, older than F registration).
Most bikes are 'new registration format' sports bikes with the odd Pan
and Beemer thrown in for good measure.

It brings me a remarkable amount of pleasure that despite riding what's
one of the oldest bikes I see (B registered K100) it regularly
out-filters the new bikes on the road. Sooner or later it'll end in
pain though.

They're all oop north being ridden by impoverished upside down heads QED.

 

I'll accept your knowledge of these things, I can only speak for what I
see.

Mind you, I was at Rainbow motorcycles recently and the people in the
showroom didn't look that impoverished. Come to that the bikes I saw
where quite new between Rotherham and the south. Still, it was a
Saturday.

 

I'd say that was bollox, a minority maybe. If it's that expensive get
something cheaper or don't bother.

IME there's little difference in cost between them. For my 2 bikes
IIRC TPFT is £40pa cheaper than the current ~£175 FC with business
use.

Fair enough. I'm a bit out of touch with ins costs on modern bikes TBH
