My insurance is up for renewal. I am properly paranoid as I don’t trust them as far as I can throw them after they refused to pay out for a claim years ago when my old FZR600 got nicked.

At the beginning of April, I decided to take my old FJR1200 to the supermarket as it got a huge top box and panniers. I loaded up the old girl with the essentials to get through lockdown i.e. bread, milk, eggs, beer etc. So far, so good.

I have an old Honda Gold Wing GL1500 that I have owned for the past 20-odd years. It is a big old bus, but I love it and do all the work on it myself, predominantly because I don’t trust anyone else.
