Craig Guildford was first asked by MPs about the West Ham game - which never existed - on 1st December

He was then asked by Paul Kohler MP: "Hold on—so you did an AI search, got something about West Ham and just whacked it into the..."

Guildford replied: "No, not at all. We do a very comprehensive assessment."

On 6th January, Guildford again denied that AI had been used.

Here's Chief Constable Craig Guildford's letter to Karen Bradley, chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee: ...I write further to my appearance at the HAC on the 1st December 2025 and 6th January 2026 ... on Friday afternoon I became aware that the erroneous result concerning the West Ham v Maccabi Tel Aviv match arose as result of a use of Microsoft Co Pilot...

This is a 2024 e-clutch CB650R with the old style shrouds installed, including the Black edition shroud faceplate and decals.

I ordered all the parts from the diagram, but it turns out I didn't need all parts, as they're either already (re-used) on the e-clutch version, or come pre-installed on other ordered parts.

Parts needed:

Parts not needed:

I recommend google searching for each part as the price and shipping varies massively. The bulk of parts came from bikerz bits but the shipping total was more than the parts themselves, still cheaper than going only local sourced though.

For the shiny logo on the tank, it's from the black edition:

The existing tank sticker is under the clear coat but the decals from the black edition are EXACTLY the same size as the sticker. Each letter and wing part come as separate stickers on the same sticky back paper, so you just carefully place each one-by-one over the existing sticker.

Had a policy with them on a CBR 125, provisional license. Over halfway in to the policy and I'm getting a new bike after passing the full bike license tests, so I call to ask for costs on moving the policy over to the new one.

After 10 minutes on hold, get told "Underwriter says no, and doesn't give a reason", then they cut the call on us.

I wondered if it was due to the provisional license entitlement as I hadn't yet updated them - costs are about £35 admin fee per policy change bear in mind so you'd want to do any changes all at once - so I called back to request just a change of license on the current policy. Get told "Underwriter says no to the new terms on the existing policy" and the call gets cut off again when I start asking questions on what to do now.

Call back a third time, state what's happened so far and miraculously this time the call doesn't cut off. Get told "you have 7 days to resolve the incorrect license issue on the current policy" or they'll cancel it on my behalf (which if done by the insurer is a massive negative disclosure on your file that sticks around forever).

Get put through to the cancellations department to cancel it because there's no way I could drop back to a provisional license entitlement, lost those months towards the year's no claims bonus. Didn't need to pay to cancel, got a 5er refunded for the current month(!). Now have to SORN the 125 immediately and move it by van to the dealership, good thing it's owned outright and not a finance bike with compulsory insurance!! Seems there's a reason them being the cheapest on the market, buyer beware.

why?
