Not yet it's not. 6th April is new tax year in UK.

Always fancied Sri Lanka myself. The roads are supposed to be perfect.
Karma Yatri, who I and another from here have used for Nepal, run a trip there.

Have seen this on a few YouTube videos and on websites around. I like the Verge and thought they have a nice looking motorcycle...... but I don't believe the hype around the battery. The best explanation I've seen about it, is its a large capacitor rather than a battery.
Until I see it charge up ...

Did I miss the price?

If you're just going for a shopping trip I'd not bother, very few if any bargains to be had, and once you've paid £25 entrance, a tenner for parking, 8 quid for a pint and another tenner for a nasty hot dog any saving you've made is soon eroded away.


I think £35 entrance now!
Bit fruity for 1/2 ...

Hashim, tour leader, was very knowledgeable and easy going. A slick run tour.
We had a one dodgy (dangerous) route but otherwise they were perfect.

I did the same tour in March this year with Karma Yatri

You might want to check it's transferable.
I looked to buy a ticket recently and it said they weren't.

I thought the Welsh National Rally was still going?
I haven't done it for a few years but was looking at it for 2025

Every driver over the age of 70 should have to take a mini-driving test every 4 years

Rover SD1 3.5 Vitesse.
I had the pov spec 2.6 and my mate had a 3.5 which was a bit tail happy. Proven quite successfully when he lost it on a wet roundabout and wrapped it around a lamp post.

How to *really* spoil a YammaGamma.
Did they run out of ideas where to put the bodywork so plonked it on top?

Do you mean this 400 scrambler or the older bigger capacity one?

Ah apologies. I meant the bigger capacity scrambler.

I did an off road day in Wales on the Triumph Scrambler and was massively impressed by it's capability. I thought it'd be the wrong tool for the job (compared to full on adventure bikes) but was very wrong.
On road I didn't notice it running out of breath.
Only negative was the XE model was a bit ...

Career wise I do have to have a 5 year plan as part of my IMechE membership / chartership. That's always been the case for membership on paper, but they actually audit it now.

I won't bore you with the details :D


Normally an IMechE or IEEE plan involves giving them lots of money and getting FA ...

The lever used to mechanically slide a bolt/pin into the transmission, now it asks a computer to do the same sort of thing. Means you can no longer accidentally jam that pin into the transmission at 70mph :D


I guess you know but a park pawl is ratcheted so can't engage at speed. Only when close ...

The Super Soco has a security feature whereby if the motion sensor is triggered it will hold the bike with the motor. So an electronic park brake type principle.
So it is possible to detect a roll away and counter it.

I've had a few deals recently but don't think I'd risk it now

Nearside = near to the kerb


Yes, but that is a different side when working on rhd and lhd cars.


Yes in all seriousness, this is why manufacturers (and me :D ) speak in terms of left and right. Odd part numbers for left, even for right :thumbup: Often they don't even draw the RHS part ...

This was what I was told by someone who who knows someone contracted to Fujitsu at the time. 2nd hand info though I agree.
