Picked the Wing up yesterday after it's service and a new rear tyre (first one i can ever remember buying)
anyway £643 in total..............ouch and bloody ouch.
My M5 was cheaper to service.
I might have to go electric at this rate :'-( :'-( :'-( :'-(

Ouch ! Yes that would hurt............ re electric, not filled a tank for nearly 7 weeks now, @420 miles so far, crap for long journeys, comfort and overtaking but Ace around town and local area. Today I have one job to look at in town, then go to the In-Laws ( out of town) to collect their shopping list, then to the Butchers, Shops and Morrisons. All the speed limits are within what the bike can do so It just makes sense to take the E Bike, plus it's all a right laugh !

Oh and, I ain't got a clue what it costs to charge, can't be that much as it's only a 60Volt Battery.... there are good things and bad things about it but until :D I get the Grom back, I can't really compare..... Keep having little races with the 125 boys and girls though, which is great fun !!! Yo Dude, Bro and all that !

Thanks Bro, Init..... You forgot to mention the price too, your Scooter is a fair bit cheaper to buy and you're deffo right about the reliability, I'm hearing allsorts on forums but mostly problems with modified bikes and I'm not doing anything to this one. One bloke had a new Battery after 1600 Miles, They are @ £1000 a pop.... then again a few others have had no issues with 20 thousand miles, It's way less than the E Cars Batteries though, Stupid money they are....... oh and my sack is Large, 30 Litres of Beer a night would take some doing.... :devil:

Go bro
:tup: :tup: :tup: :tup:

There are a few leccy cars coming this year that i really really like the look of.
AND, that Honda Civic R i told you about is out now. Manic best describes it.

Just got back from a ride on the bike deliverying stuff. God it's sweet. Proper old mans bike. And when one is on form (i am today) it can be fun.
Only one car driver tried to kill me today, so a result.

I'm not dis-liking the cars that are being produced so much as prices for what is unproven tech over the long term but it doesn't really matter as I'm old now...... Your Wing is epic and Legendary whatever your age..... I nearly get knocked off about 3 times more on the E Bike than the other bikes, It's actually Hillarious now because I've begun predicting folk's ignorance and Thickness...... No-one looks, hears or thinks I'm on the road anymore......... Had 3 different Fuckwits today ..... good job I can think for them.
