Has anyone declared a hilltop remap to their insurers?

[Engineer]

It's so worrying, that I tell them everything. It's got a new tyre now, so I'll pop them an email this morning.

It is indeed terribly worrying - any change from the homologised performance means that you should inform your insurance company, so fitting streamlining devices like screen spoilers for example should be definitely mentioned too - the consequences of fibbing are too scary to comteplate.

I would always inform my insurance company - if my bike had been modificated.

Would never comteplate doing such a thing.

 

[Schtum]

Stop this anti intellectual bullshit. I bet you lot voted for Brexit as well, didn't you......

Homologise is close enough - made all the same or standardised will do - homologated is just the official version

Anyway you obviously knew what I meant, so the language worked, there are no hard and fast rules with language because it is continuously changing anyway

Can you vote somewhere on this web site to have a thread deleted if it has turned utter drivel, and has idiots trying to defend their shite?

A thread would never get above 2 pages if there were

I don't even know what a motorbike is.

That's because you use yours as a cadwell lawnmower.

I'm still waiting for the software unravel that Engineer promised

You could probably add, quite safely - Contract Law........ to the topics you know shag-all about......

If your motorcycle isn't as you described when asked questions by the insurer then I guess you are in breach of contract.

Hi William. Have you made any progress finding the Hilltop file yet?

 

[Schtum]

Homologise is close enough

Only if your name is Malaprop.

Language continually changes - it's only those with autistic tendencies that try force control over it, there really is no need humans have been effectively communicating for millennia without all that systematic control shite.

No language doesn't change of its own volition. It's changed for the better when its used to enable the expression of even more precise and discrete shades of meaning. It's changed for worse when it's used incorrectly by people who don't really know what word it is they're trying to use, let alone how to spell it, its etymology or what it means.

It changes naturally - only fools try to stop it.

So 'Whatever' is a change for the better?
Language changes for no other reason than it can. Otherwise we'd all be speaking proto-indo-european.

It's not a sentient being. It's changed in one direction by virtue of people who use it with the intention of creating even greater semantic precision and in the other by people who are sloppy in their use of the language.
