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!!)

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
