RMT, :agree with Christo and co (unusual as it is)

Let the insurance company keep it or sell it whole if you don't want to repair it. IT will take you ages to get rid of all the bits.

How much for the whole bike? I may be interested.

Many of us leave our bikes through the winter (weeks or months at a time) on a trickle charge and never start them.

Makes no difference to the fuel if you start it or not. Fuel will go off eventually but we are talking months, not weeks.

Taylor. Why do you think you need it?
How long are you leaving the fuel unused?

There have been a spate of attacks in France recently where people have randomly run over groups of people. These were seen as Muslim attacks too.
France is getting to be a dangerous place to go, well the main cities are. My place in the sticks is fine still. Nobody would be able to find it :rollin

Looking at it another way.

If oil was to go to $150 a barrel, it would only add £0.48/litre to the cost. Refining and transport costs would remain constant as nobody gets payrises :pokefun so the oil industry was and is making a fair profit still as fuel was hitting £1.50/litre when oil was well under $100 a barrel.

FZS600 Fazer / Re: Buying a 600 or 1000?
« on: 07 January 2015, 12:53:37 pm »
also depends on how long you have been riding. I wouldn't recommend 1000cc for someone new to riding. That said the FZS600 is a quick bike too but less of a handful when things do go wrong.

Its not quite that straight forward. One barrel of oil is about 35 gallons. From that, about 120 litres or diesel and petrol is refined. The rest becomes other things like aviation fuel, other oils etc so for a $50 barrel, the  cost of the bit that gets turned into road fuel is about $37.50 making the raw materal cost about $0.31 / litre or £0.20 in real money.

Add in fuel duty at about 60p/l and the cost before refining, distribution and profit is £0.80/litre. Add VAT, and the 1p/litre the retailer gets (yes that is why they hate the gits that drive off without paying) and the price becomes £0.96/litre

Add in the refining and distribution costs and I doubt we will see petrol or diesel ever fall below £1 per litre again unless HMRC drastically reduce their duty rates.

Another consideration is the fact that the government charge VAT on fuel in addition to the fuel duty so you pay tax on the tax.
