Numpty eh ??

Well up until now I have never managed to use a hammer to stitch my leathers back together or repair a helmet gloves and boots after a fall, Regardless of that maybe I am old fashioned but I personally perfer peace of mind than trust to luck.

My TPFT allows me to ride any bike not owned by me, covers all EU riding, ( extra ?8.00 if I wanna go outside the EU ).. My house insurance covers all my riding kit and injuries...

However, as in your case it was only an extra ?25.00 I can see why you would go for it..

But be aware John, that while you might well be able to get it mint, unless you are quite wealthy, you will not be able to ride the thing for a couple of years !

LOL !!
See,,, that's me being bloody old fashioned again !
I do not even THINK about clobber.. But cos I tend to buy end of line stuff ( my new Shoei cost 90 sovs, both my one piece leather were less than ?130 ) I spose thats why..


So that makes me a numpty as well for not thinking about extras Baz :}


Lets start a club ! LOL !!

Right.. as officially the founder members of the Bird Numpty club I vote you in as Treasurer and chairman.. I will be secretary and event co-ordinator.

Your first job as treasurer is to go buy that beer you mentioned ! LOL !

Leathers seem like a bargain Baz, but I always buy new ones mate ( BMF at Peterborough is wunerful :bow: )
Oh and when you weigh them after they are boxed, if thet are:
up to 4 k ?7.20 ( parcel force )
Up to 6 k ?7.86
8 k will be ?8.96
And 10k ?9.62

If they want them next day then that will be ?10.56 .. go to http:/www.parcel2go.com
Excellent service :p !

Lovely jubbly :beer:

Pixie tried out a couple of insurance websites last night,and gave up having to type details,choose options..etc.Tonight (7.45 this evening) direct choice (one of the insurance companies of the websites pixie was getting annoyed with) rang up.They said the details pixie had put on the website were incomplete,would a human to human quote be better,yes please!!.
They asked about our best quote so far,which broker,which policy and how much.Pixie told them,Carole nash,red star and about ?350 (actually ?388 but they dont know that).They came back with fully comp for bird and z400 for ?317,not bad for me (a mere 35 years old).
I usually go TPFT on my bikes,but the Bird is the most expensive bike I've owned and could never replace it if it got totalled or badly damaged (im a poor person :B ).

Give www.biketeam.co.uk a try

I got the Bird fully comp for ?224 with ?250 excess and protected ncd
I do have full ncd though and am 34

My insurance company ay the time ,carole nash I think, offered to match it
but then added that they couldn't offer me cover for a pillion on a Blackbird:bang:

I did try Norwich Union for a comparison and the robbing bastards wanted ?1800
and ?750 excess:} told them I was looking to insure the bike and not buy it from them and promptly hung up.
Well worth shopping around. time spent filling out all those quotes on line could well save you a few quid.
