The new road tax is only relevant to new cars registered from April 2017.

I've tried to find any relevant information for bikes but not found it yet.

And yes every insurance premium you pay out will rise but at least 3.5% from November.

I don't understand the car tax part? So if your paying 20 or 30quid road tax now in a couple of years the lowests emissioned cars will be forking out £140 quid per year in road tax!? And I also took a quick look and the insurance premium tax is going up too...so insurance prices will rise, great!

Road it to work...and then realised why i don't do that very often. The time you gain in arriving early is lost when you consider you have to get your gear on before you leave and then off again at the other end. been there ...

Possible interest here.

im up for an off-road day, just depends on location and price.

... i dont need a rev counter, in fact there are no lights/gauges at all. to save spending £££ on something i dont need, ive rehoused/wired a standard road bike tacho that i can quickly plug in/out. although as per ACU regulations i dont have to have one, the noise testing scrutineers still have a ...

We'll be doing the speedway again, it was a top day.

I can't commit myself at present to an off road day, but I do want to do one.

Hiya duke! Ah ok no worries I'm not surprised I missed it although did think it was back end of summer for some reason. My fault. But yeah like you say get comfy going side ways is always good to know! And would be interested cheers

... with separate tax and NIC rates and just have one rate of charge for both. Equally new cars registered next year will have to pay £140 per annum road tax and if the car costs more than £40k new then you will have to pay an extra £310 road tax per annum for 5 years. Think its all a sign of what ...

Rickster some of us have discussed doing the speedway day again. Its great fun and a good way of learning to feel the bike slide.

Depending on where and when I'm up for this. Certainly very interested.

I think looking at Mick's web page we need to work out if we want to do a mix of full on MX and Enduro or just enduro?

Personally I would like to experience it all, rather than just the one discipline.

Speed way happened and has been done....

Be well up for this as looked into this myself already. However is this speedway still going ahead and when? I'm kinda having to get wedding done and dusted first though £££

The Mick Extance Kawasaki day sounds good too. In fact you can choose from a number of different types of day here.

As Kwacky suggested here is a new thread to sound you guys out on a possible off road experience day. I did a taster session this week and it was a great deal of fun, two days later I am really feeling it in my legs lol (facepalm) Duke mentioned a day down in Wales, ...

I'm riding along just over the speed limit in lane one of a 2 lane road. It's not a dual carriageway. Up ahead I spot a cyclist. There' a car in front and he's spotted the cyclist at the same time. I see the car driver check his mirrors. He and I indicate ...

I got no time for these type of pricks in 30s. What if he had killed someone over the zebra crossing (on the other side of the bloody road) the old bill did right for 8 months inside. Then he should visit a family who has had a family member killed from dangerous driving. Failing that take ...
