Found it's last MoT certificate from 2016. It's done 208 miles since then

 

[ALN]

That looks flipping amazing. What sort of miles is on that?

 

[Gareth]

Oops, forgot to add miles, it's done 24,892

 

[ALN]

Looks a real special bike. Definitely want to try something like this eventually but think insurance would wreck me as a noob

 

[Gareth]

I think it was £96 for me to insure it last year

Flip me that's for nothing. I ran a quick quote online and was £1200

 

[Gareth]

Sold

End of an era. How long did you own it for?

 

[Gareth]

Just 12 years

The mental thing is that due to prices of things in todays market, I only lost £200 in that time (obviously just on purchase price)

 

[Captain Starlet]

You did well there, they are such a good bike. Im sure you in the money with the MSX too

Lovely bike, I'm sure you'll miss it but needs must sometimes.

I was actually just dropping it in subtly with the other half about how with all these EVs and phasing out of petrol I'll need to keep mine and buy another rather than replace it as it'll be a good investment for the future, hoping she bought it.

 

[Captain Starlet]

The only positive to a EV would be your could escape for a skelp first thing in the morning or last thing in the evening without waking the entire street up.

i sold my yamaha fazer 1000 at the weekend after 11 years of ownership. in real money, I made £500 more than I bought it for in 2010.

I can't really work out how this is all going to go, will it just get to the stage where we're all sitting with these ornaments in our garage as we won't be able to fuel them or will we all be running them on LPG or converting them to run with batteries?
