    Crazy Tracer insurance

    Not so sure about that. I've been riding bikes since the 1990s and Bennetts have never had a good reputation when it comes to handling claims. Slow to process the paperwork and try to take the piss with bike valuations. Hopefully, now they are part of Saga, they will improve but for now, they...

    Crazy Tracer insurance

    My last bike was insured on a policy bought from Carole Nash - CN is just the broker and the policy was underwritten by Markerstein. Initially when I phoned to change to my Tracer the insurer didn't recognise the bike. CN called up Markerstein who were happy to quote on the bike and I even...

    neat 12V/5V USB socket

    A rather heavy handed approach when contributors have registered - I could understand deploying spambot if a subscription was not required but this just seems like paranoia.

    verification process

    I posted a reply to someone's query about UK insurance on the Tracer in this thread http://mt09.motorcycle-talk.com/forum/main-lobby-new-member-section/2503-tracer-insurance.html Your spambot insisted I verify I am human. It's annoying when I have already logged in!

    Is the verification bollocks really necessary when adding a post to a thread? Surely being logged in is enough to identify the poster and spammers can easily be blocked by the admins?

    Tracer Insurance

    My broker Carole Nash should be up to speed after their experience with me during the end of last week! My current insurer did not have the bike on their database but were happy to add it. The underwriter is Markerstein. Carole Nash stated that they could provide cover via Aviva if Markerstein...

    Cleaning oil fling from rear wheel

    paraffin is a good solvent for cleaning off chain lube, especially for those days when you decide to clean up around the front sprocket. I use an old 1" paint brush and an old, small saucepan - put some thick cardboard under the bike to catch the run off and let it soak in, which saves your...
