I dont know why you thought it was this weekend. But your wrong :P

Bike is cheaper. You only need your cbt to ride on L's and a 125. Few months under your belt and you can then take your bike test. Car ins will cripple you.

But no, dont come up, we will all be having too much fun to notice :P

That'll get you fit,though you'll need set off about now to get there in time(don't forget cycles can't use motorways :D)



On a more serious note,I tried to persuade Fraggle to go motorcycle until the Insurance Co realise that IF they made fucking car insurance affordable,less people would be inclined to drive illegally.I got a quote to add her on my policy(10yrs no-claims[ppl crash into me,not me crash into them]clean licence etc)and adding her carried a £2000 premium(the fucking cars only worth a grand)yet if she went for her own policy on my car,a specialist insurer(deals only with provisional drivers)quoted £750,which is actually less than I fucking paid when I 1st bought the car!

Insurers are legalised robbers though,my premium increases every year and eventually reached a level I simply couldn't afford and had to park my car up.When I obtained the next policy,once again at renewal it had gone beyond my means to pay so I phoned them up asking to have my (provisional licenced) GF removed thinking it would reduce the premium.I was shocked to discover that my premium increased even more and no matter how many times I asked the insurer to explain WHY,I never got an answer.I was told why the renewal was always more,new account discounts(to attract the suckers like us,then fleece us lazy twats who can't be bothered shopping for a better deal)and advised to basically let my policy expire & then start a new policy.

When I started driving,fully comprehensive was way more expensive than 3rd party (fire & theft) Fast forwards to the 80's and anything that wasn't welded to the road was stolen & set on fire(leading to higher premiums)and the more unscrupulous car owners arranging to have their cars stolen & burnt out meant that TPF&T cover rocketed and soon overtook fully comp premiums.These days,if the insurance investigator isn't 100% satisfied with a vehicle theft you get nothing.There are now burglaries committed just to steal your car keys & steal your car,and insurers refusing to pay out as their investigator decides you're partially at fault for not locking the car keys away in a fucking safe.

Now I've had a good rant about shyster insurers,resume the topic of this thread please :D
 
Apologies - I ended up lobbing the stuff on the table as most of it had gone unclaimed by Saturday night. I'm guessing it all went to happy homes :)
