Im suprised you were being quoted so much on an edwards. Mine is £180 tpft and I live in the middle of Liverpool and the bike isn't garaged either.
Although mty insurance company insured it as a rsvr. No-one knew what the edwards was.
Just seen this as well..Feel sorry for you, decent jobs getting harder to find..But at least you're the right age for companies to be interested..Keep your chin up..
