I have a minty NC30/VFR 400


Only, it's in my mum's lock up in NW8 as I don't feel happy about leaving it on the street around here - especially after the rescent stories of youths pushing over bikes


Shame really because the hour long journey into town on the number 12 bus is doing my head in !!!

Mr Asset says:


We once rode round France (and I mean the perimeter) in '95 and Asset found the pillion so comfortable she nearly fell asleep several times. It was a great machine, classic muscle bike (the first Suzuki 4 stroke), although whilst the same colour, it had flatter bars, three discs and alloy wheels.


Still, one reason I don't have one now is because I would never cycle (and get fat).

Have recently sold my Yamaha Fazer 600 - returned to full time education this year and, do you know, they make you pay tuition these days!?! ;-)


Anyway, temporarily without-bike :(

Still, graduation and decent money now only 3.5 years away, then a dream purchase beckons: triumph sprint ST 1050...

I also own a vespa - but a baby ET2 50CC. Does the job nicely - commute into Holborn in 25 mins door to door - zips past those buses a treat!!!


At the Green fair last week they had an electric scooter/bike - Zippy or something. Anyone got one of them? Top speed is a fantastic 20 KPH - but realistically how often do you get to drive much faster (Average here - I'm sure none of you with big grown-up bikes are one of those lovely types who revs up to full speed between lights cos they can, then brake and I catch them up every time!!)

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
