Correct but its close to 20% and with some haggling its possible to get the 20%. https://www.rustsports.com/gas/news/bar ... _8113.html


Anyway back to the bike !

Stop bickering children !
And 60 is not old ... it's the new 40 ... I spent my 60th birthday, July 2018, cycling from LE to JOG in 10 days... and just bought a new green laner .... And am still married to the lady i met 30 years ago ........

Nothing wrong with buying yourself a retirement present , I'm doing it all the time

I’ll raise his 60 to my 63 when I bought my Husky 450 in 2017 but lose points for being a 4t, not a nutter 2t.
I have downsized my road bike to a gentle Triumph Street Twin as that is plenty of go for the riding I do now.

Wonder if I could retire, or at least have a test ride I'm just pleased the photo was right way up

For my 50th birthday present I bought myself £17,000 worth of 4.5litre TVR Chimaera.
For hers, my wife bought herself a £16 Jewellery box.

It’s all about priorities.
She is completely non materialistic and hates shopping but indulges my reasonably controlled spending habits.

It's the 4T that are nutters. I have the FE 350. Proper mental.

The 450 takes it to lovely lazy torque.
I can drift along all day.
