Topping up your battery

If you go out to your bike in the spring and it struggles to start, or regularly use your bike for short runs, you may find using an optimiser helps keep your battery in top condition.

M&P Direct are currently offering £15 off the Optimate 4, this week only. It is retailing at £39.99 instead of £54.99

It's a small price to pay for peace of mind, and not just useful in the winter months.

Scammers

We have had notification of some scam emails being sent to accommodation providers. These emails request that you provide a full cost for a stay, dates are specified. Clearly asking to pay by Visa or Mastercard.

Example text is below
Kindly get back to me with the total cost for their stay and advice if you accept visa or master credit cards so i can arrange the payment immediately with my credit card visa or master. Please note that i will like to settle the total cost for the entire stay immediately by credit card so i need the entire stay cost in EURO.

Please note that these emails have NO email address in the To: field of the email.

To be sure that your enquiries are genuine, please follow these guidelines.

1. Check the To: field on your email to ensure that the email was sent directly to you. If this is empty or has a different email address to your own, please take care.
2. Unless changed manually, the Subject field of email enquiries will normally read, "Guest Enquiry via Bike Stay"
3. Unless the email is from an authorised booking agent, please ensure you are dealing with your guests direct.
4. If you have any queries, please email us and we can let you know of the known scammers email addresses.
5. Please be cautious, if the email seems in any way strange!

This scam is not just effecting Bike Stay Accommodation providers, but they are targeting other accommodation sites also.
