Metal? This week I need no prompting..


Well I'm still gobsmacked. Last week at Bassett's Pole I thought the MCE Insurance team had bagged possibly the finest and rarest machines in the area, with the awesome tricked up Hayabusas and B-King Turbo.


We turned up on Tuesday this week (20th May) with our helmet-polishing babes ready to push the MCE name in the Interest of Cheap Motorcycle Insurance and what did we come across?


A fully tricked up Boss Hoss! That's a 355 bhp, 5.25 litre (not a typing error- 5.25 litre!) V-8 beast. I have it on good authority that there are less than a dozen of these in th UK. See the video at the bottom of today's blog for the walk-around.


After photographing and videoing 'the Hoss' I staggered back to the MCE babes- still amazed by my find. I started talking bikes to a guy named Gavin (6ft 5 personal bodyguard, built like a brick ****house). 'You must ride a pretty big machine' I remarked. 'Yes, A Honda Rune' he said.


Boss Hoss, Helmet-polishing hotpant-clad babes and now a Rune? What an evening!They only made 1,500 Runes in the WORLD you know.


Gavin let me take photos and a bit of video- check out the bar on the right for the pictures in the 20th slideshow. If you click on any of the images you'll get the full size version.

Which do you prefer? Boss Hoss or Rune? I say Rune- and not just because Gavin was bigger than the Boss Hoss's owner.

And finally, a big thank you to all the MCE Insurance staff that made the trip to Bassetts Pole on some very nice bikes. (Note: got some good photos of camera-shy Emma from MCE this week- if the back of ladies heads is your thing!)

So, you wanted more metal eh?


Bassetts Pole last night was again inundated with motorcylclists, scooter boys, quad riders, our MCE Insurance babes- even a chap walking a ferret, yes, ferret (or was it the Bassetts Polecat..) on a lead (see the video here).
.
I wasn't the only one videoing mind- The local constabulary were out with their cameras, doing their best to keep the bikes on two wheels...
.
So, last night we had the pleasure of the company of 2 lovlies, Adele and Sophie- wearing skimpy red shorts that wouldn't have looked any tighter if they were sprayed on.
.
But oh no, feedback from my last blog says that although you appreciate the ladies laid on by the UK's best purveyor of top quality and cheap motorcycle insurance, you wanted more metal.
.
If it's more metal you want, it's more metal you'll get! Check out this week's slideshow then- and look out for MCE Insurance's very own 'Perkins'- showed up with the lovely Emma (from MCE's finance dept.) who wouldn't let me take her photo. (Note to Emma- your hair was great, honest. I'll get you next time. MarkyMark)
.
I've just uploaded this weeks youtube videos as well- see the video bar to the right.

We've polished our first helmets!





Yes, Bassetts Pole was alive and kicking on Tuesday night! (6th May).

I (lucky photo & video man) was there to capture the lovely Kat and Adele attending to the helmet needs of dozens of bikers.

Here's Kat- pictured after giving this ZX9 owner's helmet a jolly good buffing.

MCE Insurance was proud to be seen at this event, after many years still possibly the top bike meet in the Midlands. The girls enjoyed it too, or so they told me whilst slurping the froth from their hot chocolate afterwards.

Buffed helmets, babes, frothy drinks, insurance, it's all to much for me. I'm off to upload some more photos and see if I've got any decent video footage to put on!

Who said insuring must be boring? (Oh, I almost forgot- if you want an insurance quote just click here: Cheap Motorcycle Insurance
