This recession will be a big one - the longer energy prices are so high, the worse it will be.

I like to be optimistic but feck me mistakes are being made....

I’m going to put the 748 up for sale next week to see if anyone bites.
A few people on the MV forum have put their bikes up for sale and are getting no interest.

I did ask the Superbike Factory for a quote but they've not replied.


i reckon people are already starting to think twice about what they're going to spend their money on.

There is no money out there. I'm selling a few things and very few takers.

Rents and Energy bills are killing everything else imo.

The Chief Exec of Scot’s Power suggested to the Govt last week that they freeze the cap at current rates for two years, the energy companies borrow the shortfall and it’s paid back over 15 years by a combination of Govt, energy company and possibly consumer.

It’s seem the Govt are not interested in that proposal.
