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!!)

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
