V46 top box £120 plus matching panniers E45's I believe £70 each

04 fazer tank cover, in blue, as new. Has a hideout leather armadillo stuck on one side, but could be removed. (About three inches long) Perfect condition £45+postage.

On September 8th, my camera club met at McDonalds in Colchester. Apparently they have a 90 minute limit on parking. I had no idea of that, although it is signed.
I have a £100 charge notice from MET parking services for over staying by 19 minutes. I think they're taking the piss to be fair. Can I challenge it/ignore it etc? I know supermarkets have charged folk before, but you can avoid paying the fine.


If I'd been sat there overnight, or hours and hours, I would of understood it. But we were inside, using their facilities!


Not happy! 

My cars mot runs out on 20th July. I had it mot'd on Friday. It needed a fair amount of work, brakes etc, which I was getting done all at the same time.

It failed as my windscreen washer jet had packed up. Fair enough. The mot tester then tells me, if he cannot get it working, the car will fail, and I will have no mot. I reply, it's ok, it doesn't run out til 20/7. He then tells me that will not valid! If I get pnc checked by the police, my car would be flagged up as an mot failure and if I had an accident, it would be doubtful I had valid insurance!

I was always under the impression that your old ticket still stood, but apparently this is a very grey area. I checked with another garage and they told me there was no definitive answer, and that it was very risky territory!!

So, if you not early, be aware that if it fails, your old ticket may, or may not be valid!! What a farce!

Foccers day out

 
This is what a proper foc u day out looks like!! Fifteen people, one bike, and not a mars bar in sight!! 

London foccers, or foccers willing to travel! I am organising a car/bike photoshoot in London, against a brilliant backdrop. It will be in late May or June, date to be confirmed. In return you would get a digi file image from every photographer for free, with extra prints available to buy. If you have something a bit different/shiny that you'd like to bring along, please let me know. Below is an example of a few of my photos. There will be ten talented photographers in total.

I also had some great news this week. The Royal Photography Society, accepted one of my images (Out of 9000 images) for their touring exhibition in 2013. If any of you are near Watford in February, it'll be in the Harlequin gallery from Saturday 3rd-16th. (Then it will tour the rest of the UK, but I'm not sure of the venues yet)
The 100 finalists can be seen here: http://www.rps-biennial.org/competition/finalist/Members-Biennial/2013/finalists/details/?category=None
My pic is 'Georgia' (Fifth one down)

Parting ways with my beloved fazer. It's been neglected this season, I've just lost interest, so she's now up for sale.
 
I think everyone who has ever ridden with me from this forum, can vouch that this bike has had an easy life. It's transported me across Europe (Slowly) never missed a beat, fully garaged, very low mileage (I think under 20k, I'll double check that) It also has an expensive aftermarket can (Laser extreme, four pipe under seat)
Also: Fully givi'd up, top box, panniers. Headlight conversion done, rear light conversion done. One mark on front fairing, but otherwise clean as.
I'm looking for good money for this baby. The extras are worth it, and I'm not in a hurry to sell, so it's £3k.
Viewing in Colchester.
