Rocker gasket

Thanks,

Agreed value of £8k on my thousand...mi...

Re: Insurance...

I found it cheaper to insure the kat and my other bike (BMW f800gs) separately as combining them means you can't have a classic bike policy, just a multibike policy. £60 for the BMW, and £124 for the kat, both have free breakdown and unlimited mileage. The only thing with the classic bike policy is ...
