heh, the days of bikes doing 90mpg are long gone(unless you call things under 200cc 'bikes'. Its a trade off, do you want 90mpg or 180 mph? :D

Ooooh No! Every mile done by them is adding to global warming, it's not as if they make any worthwhile contribution to the world!


At this point Less loses his bottle and runs for cover, knowing that there is bound to be at least one biker without a sense of humour!:D

If it was a push bike one - spug would be there to complain about the drivers that he comes across day in day out - they even shout at him to ride on the pavement, no matter that there wasnt one there!!!

It’s all very well having these fuel protest rallies but really people should be addressing the root cause of all the taxes that we pay.

No reasonable person would baulk at paying reasonable taxes. After all we understand that if we want things like the NHS it has to be paid for.

What we don’t understand is the government wasting billions on a variety of ventures that have nothing to do with us, not forgetting the EU with its sticky paw in our wallets and purses.
