GP800 Delivery Date

Well, it's here at last - I collect my black GP800 tomorrow afternoon.

I'll post more with photos as soon as I've ridden it home. There was one minor shock when I phoned Carole Nash. At the end of January, I had been quoted £268 to add it to the K75 on my multibike policy unitl the renewal date in September. When I called them today to update the policy (three month nearer to the renewal date), the price had gone up to £288. They also seem unable to recognise the fact that it has a factory fit transponder immobiliser much like every modern car. Given that this system is on most Piaggios, Vespa and Gileras that's something of a startling ommission - all they can do is call it "generic immobiliser".

I suspect that come September I'll be shopping around again - a pity since I have been a loyal Carole Nash customer for a few years now.
