Has anyone got TPO insurance for an expensive bike?

Sounds like OP is full of all the cognitive biases. If he wants to buy an £18k bike and keep it on the street in one of the highest crime areas of the highest crime city in the UK then let him... He's just looking for confirmation that what he's doing is right which is yet another cognitive bias.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Sounds like the OP's criterion for "brilliant biking roads" is maximising the opportunity to check out his reflection in shop windows. Then park up outside numerous coffee shops and hope people notice the 200bhp fanny magnet.

Oh man, this cretin returned. I have a louder exhaust now, bet you are fucking crying

Best bit is my bike is nearly £108 to insure, its like £107 something and hasn't been stolen, I'm about 20 minutes from London, I can ride to Embankment in 35 mins. That is enough London for me. Less chance of my bike getting robbed and less noise for your fairy ears.

Okay, just to even things out...

London is a very interesting place "when one is tired of London one is tired of life." However, I agree that actually living there is a bit of a 'mare.

The roads are quite fun but probably from the perspective of someone who's had to use a push-bike, car, taxi, bus or tube. Basically every way of getting around London is shit compared to a bike.

Big bikes are totally pointless. You can't do much more than 40 for any great stretch in the centre so anything over a 650 is a waste. That's why almost everyone [without taste or decency ofc] rides a 125 scooter. Of course you still see the odd courier rider on much bigger bikes but they might need to head out of town on a job.

Biking about London - great fun! Riding around on a 5 figure bike - pure insanity

I don't do Londonistan I do own several bikes and cars that I have paid for outright and I can afford to insure and tax them. I live within 10 miles of some of the best hospitals in the country if not the world. I also live within 30 minutes of some of the best roads you could ask for in any country. I also can look at some of the best looking ladies of the land (just don't ask them to speak) I live in a place that has a long industrial heritage going back a few thousand years. So how daft am I? Not very!

Same bike the previous year. I put the road bits back on so I could do the Nurburgring Riders Club course.

Bishopscourt circuit. We got the world's smallest trophy. Plus a couple of race licences.
