Just checking the mileage on the Z. 1109 miles in 8 n arf months that includes summer. Not much is it and shows how much i am not that inspired with it.

Hello Bob, I tested one a couple of years ago and thought it was a good bike but Bland, especially in comparison with the MT09 ....... was watching an old top gear show yesterday about E Types.... was very good, you might want to check it out on Youtube....

[bobsnicholson]

Hi Nev, i have watched so many You Tube vids on E-Types. They still have a good following. Have to say mine is a bit good.
The Z will be gone next spring. Don't think it will be replaced. Started thinking the BM will do me till i stop riding. Last few times out on the BM i have really loved it. As long as i can handle the weight when maneuvering the thing about i will keep it. The Classic car route was always going to happen in prep for getting dead old

Ha.... Dead Old ! like it......... I'm having a clearout, going to sell virtually everything including all my bikes and go Travelling.... well thats the Idea... We have someone slightly interested in the Business and the mortgage will be gone in may so i'm looking forward to sticking my middle finger up to all the officials and Government arseholes who seem to be hell bent on ruining small businesses..... Only one problem though, I've been buying old Airguns and it's getting a bit out of hand.... can't upload any pics but last year I had 5.... now I have 35 !

Blimey..... That was painful..... ! anyway here's the growing collection..... bought one old gun for £30 which is probably actually worth £1000 .... got a few other bargains too.... reckon I'm turning into Lovejoy !!!!

Blimey there's a hobby. Don't go travelling with them in the vehicle you will have the SAS on to you.
I always said i couldn't/wouldn't start a business here. As you say too many obstacles to fail. AND staff, well they just don't like to see "The Boss" make money after investing his last penny, working 15 hours a day blah blah, they just want the money off you for doing as little as poss with absolutely no investment or risk. Fuck em i say, let them enjoy their benefits (that they probably haven't contributed to anyway). My mate had a little bizz in Oxford, employed 18 people, god the stories he told me about the staff. He ended up in all sorts of tribunals for all sorts of trivial stuff. It finished him when he went bankrupt. Strangely, after him paying 18 blokes salaries for 15 years he is now drawing benefits.
Hope it works out for you and the family.
My brother who lives in Kiev Ukraine left Kiev on Wednesday to Perth Australia. He bought a Campervan in Perth (his son lives there) and going to do 3 months wondering. Then next year in his summer Aussys winter he will go back and do another 3 months. So basically he will do 6 months Aussy 6 months Ukraine in any given year. I am well Jel

Ha, just seen the picture.
More a Nedd Kelly than Lovejoy.
Don't know too much about firearms. But can imagine bought right they can be an investment.

We.... "WE" .... lol..... are planning on getting a motorhome and a few Holiday Chalets dotted around the UK and possibly a little French place......... Self Sufficiency is the goal..... that's if I can convert Sammy to the delights of Roadkill and Seaweed..... oh and If the Kids can find somewhere else to treat as a doss hole !!!!!

All these are sub 12ftlb's legal Airguns........ Still classed as Firearms though...... lot's of laws and potential criminal acts to consider though......... picked up a really rare Webley 3 weeks ago for £230 but It's worth at least £700 so yes..... definately an Investment Bob...... Your Mate's story is oh so similar to many other self employed people I have known...... This country seems to go out of it's way to Fuck up Small businesses and Entrepeneurs ...... Personally I've had a gut full...... Going to go off Radar now....... Fuck Em......... as STS yoused to say !!!
