Can I swap my company car for a company bike?
22 Jan 2014
I work in the print trade and spend a lot of time on the road, usually over 30,000 miles a year. I could work a lot more effectively by travelling by motorbike, but before I raise it with my boss (also a biker) I want to know if I can legally chop my company car […]
Can I use a bike as my business vehicle?
15 Jan 2014
I’m considering getting a bike for my work. I’m a self-employed mobile auto electrician working in London, with most of my work in the City and West End. I can carry all my tools and kit in one large toolbox. With a bike I avoid the Congestion Charge, delays and sitting in traffic burning diesel.
Can wearing a dark visor invalidate my insurance?
08 Jan 2014
What are the insurance implications of a tinted visor? I’m interested in a light tint visor, with less tint than a ‘normal’ pair of sunglasses.
A nasty surprise awaits
01 Jan 2014
I recently acquired a 1998 Triumph Daytona 955i so my 50 year old mate with a California license could ride it for a three week trip around the UK and Europe. After phoning multiple insurance companies, only one seemed to be able to do this simple task.

Badly injured while riding on Mad Sunday
18 Dec 2013
I was seriously injured on the TT course two years ago. I am not a racer, but on Mad Sunday I was riding at a speed I thought was fair enough. I have done a few trackdays and I was riding a high-performance sportsbike when some lunatic, approaching a tightish bend, shot past me as […]

Lies, damned lies and outright fraudulent claims
23 Oct 2013
Honesty is the best policy. I received one of those lovely calls telling me that as a result of my entirely non-existent road traffic accident and my even less real whiplash injury that I was entitled to £3300, and all I needed to do was sign a few pieces of paper and be seen by […]
I sold my bike but didn’t cancel my insurance
16 Oct 2013
I sold my bike through a classified ad. The guy bought it, didn’t test ride it and took it away in a van. I sent off the log book and didn’t think any more about it. I have now heard from my insurers. I had not informed them I had sold the bike and had […]

Deer, oh deer

White Dalton are branching out into gamekeeping and badger culling. In one week, Gav kills a pheasant and Andrew meets a suicidal deer. Urban riding is easy. It’s in the country where everything tries to kill you.

These two don’t usually mix very well as I found out last night when I had an unfortunate pheasant strike on my ride home.
