Add the duty to fuel. That way I would not have to pay when the vehicles are not being used. At the moment in my house we have the following:

My car - Used 4-5 times a week at the moment but paying £250 (ish) a year for tax so I can park it in the road.
My van - Used once a week on average but paying £250 (ish) a year for tax so I can park it in the road.
My bike - used once a month on average but paying £80 a year
Wifes car - used daily paying £200 ish a year
Sons car - Used fec all as he is at university but paying £250 (ish) a year for tax so I can park it in the road.
Sons bike - will probably get SORN when it runs out as he is away at Uni and we keep it off road.

Other years I will do 20,000 business miles and accept I would pay more for tax but the fairest way is to pay as you use. The government made a big thing about car tax being related to emissions. Fuel consumption is directly related too really. The more fuel you use, the more you pay.

yes they will be charging for monthly payments but it is meant to be less than the 6 month increase and you don't need to remember to renew it every year as it keeps rolling on as long as you have MOT and insurance..

I bought mine on Sunday morning online and thought 10% extra for the year was a bit steep. Instead I did a 6 month one so I could ride the bike and plan to go to the monthly payment once that runs out.

0-100 there will be very little between the two. At 100mph onwards the ZX6 will take the lead. Slowly but it will take the lead.

No real monetary value to any of them really. They are only valuable to the owner as they could use them.

As others have mentioned, if any of the saws are blunt, bin them and see what you have left.

look at the lugs again. Are you sure they aren't broken?

The other thing that was common on these a while ago was the wire between the hub and the speedo would break. Have a good look at that as you can repair it.

If the vote results in a "Yes", Scots will not be free to move south and start (or continue) claiming benefits while they look for jobs. Could save the English a few quid.

How do you figure that?

Oops. Missed a few words out.

If the vote results in a "Yes", Scots will not be free to move south and start (or continue) claiming benefits immediately while they look for jobs. They will have to wait a number of months like other EU immigrants. Could save the English a few quid.

Better?

Another perspective to consider.

At the moment in the UK we hate all the Europeans coming over and getting the benefits etc. Things have been put in place to stop them arriving and claiming benefits immediately now. If the vote results in a "Yes", Scots will not be free to move south and start (or continue) claiming benefits while they look for jobs. Could save the English a few quid.
In addition, the Poles, Slovaks, Romanians etc come over and work for peanuts instaed of the English going rate. At the moment, the Scots come down and expect the going rate. Will that change so they start accepting the European rates instead? Again, could save us a few quid though I haven't found any Scottish bricklayers that are as industrious (or as cheap) as the Poles yet.

It is correctable.

You need to go down to your local PCWorld (or other computer retailer) and part with some cash though to buy a newer laptop.

what operating system do you have on your laptop? What does the minimum spec of the game require?
Have you done all available updates on the laptop?

I think the choice of Optimate requires more information.

What's the capacity of the battery being charged?
Is it just to keep it alive or more to charge it from flat?
Is the bike kept outside?
What's the blokes inside leg measurement ?
How much money does he want to waste?




Just get the cheap one.
