Thinking of selling up
I think I've reached the point of selling both my 75's (MK1 sallon and MK2 tourer). I now only take them out for a 5 mile drive round the block on a Sunday morning, purley to keep the battery charged, £52 a month on road tax, £40 on car insurance and then fuel on top of all that.
Sad really...I need to sleep on it.

It’s about time they abolished Road Tax / Vehicle excise license and loaded it all onto fuel.
This way it would be impossible to avoid paying this tax unlike the many thousands that drive around with no road tax. |

Why not let your head and heart meet half way and sell one of them.

Tax on the 75's is high but you get a piece of class to drive. Selling one of them is not the end of the world. Soon I will be left with just one. Sent from my POT-LX1 using Tapatalk

pay at the pump, great for convenience and the shareholders but not so good for the economy, less jobs,more unemployment.

Oh no, genpk, you have discovered the downside of technology! Never mind, pay everyone a full wage to work half-time in shared jobs. We were promised years ago that automation would free us from long hours of drudge for low pay, and we would have more leisure time and money to enjoy it. I can't work out where it all went wrong.
