Just got back, picked hire trailer up at Lowestoft at 07:00 this morning, barely stopped all day, got trailer back to Lowestoft with just over ten minutes to spare.

I unloaded it from the trailer and parked it in the drive and I didn't crash.

I've got mine back together & just been for a short test run, it's all good it seems. Rear tyre didn't turn up again today though, it'd better damn well arrive monday!

I can't ride mine, I have been trying to get it insured since Wednesday... "We will speak to our underwriters and get back to you." I think that is code for " We don't want your custom, but we like the thought of you sitting by your phone for two days waiting for it to ring, it amuses us. "

If you got it off the trailer and into the drive without crashing you did better than my first go in a trials outfit, we rolled it on a slight camber change on a flat track.......

Have you tried Peter Best or Footman James?

I sat on the phone to Peter James for fifteen minutes listening to Muzak, so gave up and rang a local broker.
To be honest at this stage I can't even remember which companies I have tried.
I will waste a few more hours after work on monday, the feller I bought it off said to try the company he is with.
