Good ridence to MCE TBH, their business policies were good, never needed it, but others did and were well looked after in fairness. Their domestic policies were a joke, know personally at least ten people who were massively fucked over by that company. I know the actual bods in the call centres and offices will have also been messed about, where the actual ones at the top doing the screwing over will have likely got away scott free.
In positive news, after 6 years of faffing about with screens, no screens, different helmets, canards, bits of cardboard/plastic/wood stuck to my old bike, I have FINALLY sorted the buffeting issue. Or at least it now only buffets in very particular circumstance which I can live with.
Folk kept saying 'yeah just take all your windscreen off, problem solved'. Not on this bike, has the aero of a part demolished house.
Was out most of yesterday in the cold but glorious sunshine. Amazing in normal riding position, and total bliss if you squat down a few inch's, as in silence (with no ear plugs), damn near silence from the wind, love it. Found a few new twisty roads in rural Ayrshire that were fun for me/that bike with those sweet 30-50 mph sweeping corners back to back and no cars.
