Actually they supplied the bikes and did all the maintenance, paid the insurance & there was no weekly rental.

Because of that the job rates were lower than other companies but I was still clearing 450- 500 pounds or more a week running about 2 dozen central city jobs a day plus I'd get outside the M25 2 or 3 times a week so I was happy with that arrangement. A quiet week might have got down to 350 pounds. All I had to do was put gas in the bike and ride it.

I know, Dell was a good mate, he was riding for wheels , before he became the controller at moves as long as I cleared me 100 I was happy , I didn't like long jobs , more money in city

Often though of having a wee holiday and doing it again for a month or two

My recession present was getting my DRZ stolen. Huzzah ! And not insured, double huzzah ! Now I'm out 15k to buy something new.

If anyone around Wellytown needs a beer to drown their sorrows let me know, god knows I could do with the same !
