  1. "Motorists who live in Oxford will be able to apply for 100 daylong permits to drive through the filters per year" Then they go on to say. "Drivers who lack a permit will also still be able to access all of the city without being fined. They “might just need to use a different route or drive through the ring road to avoid the traffic filters,” Smith wrote." I don't think this has been thought out enough.
  2. i heard to many were moaning about it in there own party
  3. It was nice this morning opening the workshop door and going in side. it was still warm in there from the sun from yesterday.
  4. Just so others know, I live in wales and we mainly vote Labour, I live in a Labour ward. I bet the ones who moan about the Cons are the ones who voted for them and are now not happy with there vote. But at the end of the day, no matter who is in power, there will still be many who will moan about it, and say "And so many in that position still keep complacently voting for the bloody "X" party". be it The Cons, Labs, Libs ect ec ect. Now summer is over, it will give them something else to moan about "the cold".
  5. It will always be the same, The rich get richer, and the rest of us pay the price. The poor will always be poor and there is no way about it. As the old saying goes, money makes money. And if you dont have any well. Like me, I think most others are the same. As long as the bills are paid and there is food on the table and a couple of pounds left to spend we are happy-ish.
  6. Not all of us MikaS. Some of us think less is more
  7. There are 2 on ebay. looks like they were white.
  8. I don't want a G3, If i won i would sell it.
  9. Just trying to remember how much the tickets were !!!!!
  10. It's one thing owning a car, motorbike, van ect ect. But it's another thing how much they get used. I have 2 cars and 3 bikes + the Alfa, But i can only use one at a time. Everyone is making money off the fact we still need to Tax and insure and MOT the ones we use on the road. We make no more or less Co2 owning more than one motor. And i don't think it will be in our lifetime that everyone will be driving an EV, not the way the cost of living it going up.
  11. I had a nice SAAB 93 TID. Very quick car for a 1.9 Diesel, it looked very smart with it's 19" Black alloys on. Px it for a Mazda 6, wish i kept the Saab. I spent a lot of time keeping the Black paint work looking good.
  12. The contractor who was paid to do the work. The wife got a total of about £17.5k. The solicotors had about £10.5k , The insurance got £2.5k, Sick pay (Gov) got £500, Joy got just under £4k
  13. Why would you want that . I think these sort of bikes just get used at night on the strips where people are sitting trying to have a drink outside.
  14. Back in around 2011 the wife bought a kawasaki er6f if you can remember me posting about it. She came off on that shell stuff they put down and left loose on the road with no signage just 6 weeks after buying the bike . It took over 3 years to get the money back for damage to the bike, loss of earnings and a broken leg. after everyone else was paid she got around £4k.
  15. Seeing one out of the dealers in someone home, they do look a lot nicer in the real world. But still can't deal with the price tag. Maybe when they are under 10k used and the cost of living is under control. But then again, i don't do the mileage to warrant buying one. What i've not had, i won't miss. anyone got a winning loto ticket they don't want
  16. This could have happend to anyone, Suzuki are making so many engines that there is going to be a % that will have a fualt. It's just a shame that this engine was used for racing from the off. just a bit of bad luck really. The guy has 5 Gen3 busa's and has had loads of Gen1 & Gen2 and as he said this is the first time this has happend. I think he's been very lucky over the years.
  17. If your thinking of fitting an alarm to you Gen3, Please read the link below first. I found this thread on the ORG. and thought the info in it is worth knowing. DON'T fit an alarm until you have read it. Read the whole thread. Alarm warnings and conditions
  18. The pops and bangs are not for me. And i think most people over 50 would think the same as me. So going by the figers he was getting on the dyno with the DD3. What would have been the figers of a Gen2 with the same bolt on bits.
  19. Back on topic (sort of) Went out on Tuesday and we did 70 miles. Filled both bikes up today and it cost £24.71 It cost £12.47 to fill the xj6f and £12.24 to fill the Busa @ £1.83 ltr. So both bike were getting about 46mpg. The xj6f now has a full Leo Vince system fitted so i think that why it's down on mpg, from 53mpg to 46mpg. As for the Busa, I'm happy with anything over 40mpg.
  20. you can if you playing with sport bikes and you don't want them to pass you.
  21. When i had my Gen1 i use to love getting the bike over. But now i'm 10+ years older i'm injoying the views more so ride slower. I also remember catching a old type ball cats eye with my exhaust on the vfr12 when it was not that old and H.onda wanted £1600 for a new one, which i did not buy. Was going way to fast for the bend, silly boy i was.
