But... Wanna know what really pissed me off today(more than the bike)?
Well in the DVLA place in Wimbledon there's a helpful chap who asks you as you come in what you want to do and gives you a pen and the appropriate form, and asks if you want a version in Erdu or braille etc... While I'm filling my forms in, this 'gentleman' of Nigerian appearance and accent comes in, barely a word of the English starts being questioned by the DVLA chap...
'so you want to tax your car?'.
'Yes'.
'Ok do you have your V5?'.
'Yes'.
'ok the car is 2 years old so you don't need an MoT, but you do need an insurance certificate'. 'Ok, I have'. 'Can I see?... Hmmm this is a certificate saying it's from Swiftcover.com, I know for a fact that they are an online only company, this certificate has been printed with an authenticity hologram that I know they don't have, they email you the certificate to print, I suspect your printer cannot print a foil hologram... now I'm going to ask you a question that I suggest you answer in a positive manner... Did you recieve this in the post?'.
'No'.
'Ok I'll ask you again, did you recieve this in the post? Answer in a positive manner, that means you say yes...' .
'oh ok, yes then!'.
'very good, here's your tax disc'.
Sorry, but what a bunch of fucking cunts... No apology for the language, this is the DVLA, who are supposed to ensure all vehicles are taxed, insured, and where necessary MoT'd and they've let this tosspot get tax with what is clearly a fake certificate. Absolute wankers, another uninsured fucker on the road, with the DVLA's blessing...

I have to agree with you there Biggus.
Why we can't adopt something like the French system where you have to display your insurance and MOT on the windscreen is feckin beyond me.
This is interesting though, never seen it before...

When I went to the post office with my "printed" insurance certificate (I printed it) I was told to fuck off (more or less) 2 days later the same, colour print out of my certificate arrived from ebike, minus the words at the bottom, "page 1 of 1".Only difference is I was actually insured but still got told where to go. 1 Rule for one and one for another, shut the DVLA down and we'll be no worse or better off.

Makes my blood boil when I hear of this, especially when an honest driver usually gets stuffed yet the disshonest seem to be able to get away with it ffs! 
Should have this person at the desk. Probably would solve a few problems!

Yep I too have used online insurers and printed a certificate, the point here was that the 'official' was saying 'I know this is fake' - as it had a hologram foil on it, which of course cannot be printed on a normal printer..

Oh yeah there was definitely some of that going on too!

A drink driver trying to damage my mate, his girlfriend and 5 other bikers by sliding round a corner at them on the cars roof  they all managed to scatter around him on both sides of the road and luckily no one apart from the driver was hurt.
Happened earlier today and he says he is still shaking.
Properly scary. 
Ride safe Boys and Girls!

Walked up the village for my usual couple of pints with a mate on a Sunday night. Halfway through first pint (luckily) Sutton Police phone, forced entry at my workshop
Fast walk home, jump in car, drive to work to find two doors destroyed but luckily the lowlife shit bags got scared off by the alarm.
So now I have to spend even more money on security and repairs.
Why can't people just earn a fucking honest living. Have you any idea how many keys I already have to carry around because these scum can't keep their hands to themselves.
Thanks to Sutton Police, and a horrible painful death to the scum bags.

FFS . If only they started cutting the scroats hands off that'd learn em... Hope you managed to get the place secured for the night, on the plus side at least they didn't get in... If only it were legal to electrify doors etc, or wire up a shotgun aimed bollock height to the door...

Amen to that. I hate theiving scumbags. The problem is even if they're caught the punishments aint the deterent. Like you were saying the other day SS, you can get almost as hefty sentance for speeding and hurting noone as you can for breaking in and robbing someone, it's fucking ridiculous.

Waiting for loan funds to clear for new bike. Emailing the seller to tell him should be today or tomorrow and if it's as good as he describes he has a sale (which I've told him before) Only to be told that someone looked at it yesterday and wants it.
I'm gutted |

"Only to be told that someone looked at it yesterday and wants it."
.....standard selling tatics to chivvy you along. Did you stick a deposit on it. When selling, if someone says they want it but need to sort the funds, I always ask them for a deposit. It sorts the messers from the buyers. Made a few quid with people not coming back too. Most of it gets donated to a couple of charities I support |

| No no deposit, and I'm pretty sure it's not a selling tactic. He said it'll be gone today or tomorrow when the buyer comes to collect. |
