Fueling Thoughts

The Question of Insurance Coverage If there is a single aspect that gives me the jitters about the numerous biking jaunts I undertook in the past, is the fact that during most of them, I rode without any personal Insurance cover. It is pure luck that I rode through all of them without any mishaps and so the lack of coverage seemed almost trivial. Well, I won’t deny that the thought wasn’t there somewhere in the back of my mind and on a couple of occasions I even went to find out details about the various accident and medical cover insurance policies available.

In fact far leaner and Fuel efficient then the Enfield’s AVL engine. Coming
