I just call the dog in and see if it's wet. 

My daughter turned 16 and I wanted to do something memorable with her so.......

VNA - you were online last night 11pm !!! You have read the requests for a reply but appear so feckin arrogant that you deem an apology is not required. Why not open your mouth and explain why no apology is required ??? You're always more than happy to be a gob shite elsewhere so balls in one hand and type with the other.

And again today at 1pm........but still no balls to reply. How about you simply modify your feckin offensive cartoon then you won't have to type jack shit. Tw@ !!

And yet again at 11.30pm - you really are a spineless self righteous cunt. A patronising, arrogant waste of space.

 

C’mon chaps, it’s bank holiday, you should be out riding not squabbling over politics.
Shame you couldn’t make it to Margate with us mtread.
We had a whip round and bought you a drink in your absence to show no hard feelings.
I didn’t know what flavour you liked wearing so I went with strawberry with a cream topping.

 I'm in Red, let's hope the weather is on our side.

Yep, the two left wingers think it's perfectly acceptable to assault someone with a different point of view from themselves.
Like I said at the beginning, this is going to be an interesting social experiment.
The only ones who really condone violence are the supposed liberals.
BTW....Tommy Robinson has got more integrity in his left bollock than most of the MP's in Parliament and most definitely the two left wing fuckwits on here 
Now, where's that popcorn ? 

I wonder if you’d laugh if someone threw something all over your misses or children.
I very much doubt it.


But because it’s Tommy Robinson you condone a physical assault.....
Yep, that speaks volumes.
That’s why I’ve stayed off of this thread, you’re blinded to your own hypocrisy.

Same as mate.... Found out why my rear end was sliding around.
Got home and checked my pressures and the rear was running 14psi 
I'm amazed I'm still alive 

I'm busy Saturday but Friday or Sunday is good for me.....Say, 11 or 12 at mine ? What's best for you reprobates ? 

But you shouldn't have to. Yamaha are issuing the CoC based on the model, not your specific bike. TFL should be persuaded to exempt all FZS1000s.

That's wrong mtread, Yamaha are issuing the CoC based on individual machines, hence why you have to send a copy of the V5 as well as a photo of the frame and engine numbers.
Again, it comes down to "if you want something done, do it yourself".
If you wait around for TFL to exempt a whole model or MAG to put together a database and get TFL to accept it, something tells me you're going to be waiting a long time and that's if it ever happens.

Saw this on the MAG FB page, thought it was an interesting read and backs up what I've mentioned to TFL before about the way a motorcycle moves through LOndon compared to a car so therefore can't be put into the same category. 







More incompetence and laziness from TfL and Sadiq Khan


 News from the Motorcycle Action Group (MAG)


MAG brands industry standard emissions calculator unfit for purpose.


This version: 2019-04-10       


Following repeated claims from Transport for London (TfL) that
“individually, motorcycles can be highly polluting”, MAG has demanded
that TfL produce evidence to back this claim.  TfL stalled for many
months before finally claiming that they take information from the
National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory.


MAG investigated this “evidence” and discovered that the information
from NAEI is, in fact, a modelling calculation; and we can now reveal
that this model actually backs our position that pre-Euro 3 motorcycles
are not necessarily “highly polluting” and that, by the admission of the
software modellers, the figures over-estimate real-world emissions from
motorcycles.


TfL has chosen a NOx emissions limit of 0.15g/km for motorcycles, based
on the figure for this single pollutant in the Euro 3 motorcycle
standard.  TfL claim that the evidence for pre-Euro 3 motorcycles being
highly polluting is provided by the COPERT 5 data for average motorcycle
emissions at an average speed of 30km/h.


The data from COPERT 5 shows that average emissions from pre-Euro 1
<50cc mopeds; pre-Euro 1, Euro 1 and Euro 2 two-strokes; Euro 2
four-strokes 250 – 750cc; pre-Euro 1, Euro 1 and Euro 2 four strokes
 >750cc, all average less than 0.15g/km.  At the same time, the cleanest
ULEZ-exempt Euro 6c diesel cars emit 0.21g/km.  MAG has also had
confirmation from Emisia - the company behind the COPERT modelling
software - that their models do not allow for the emissions advantage
possessed by motorcycles in terms of filtering through congested traffic.


Studies carried out by the Federation of European Motorcyclists
Associations (FEMA) demonstrated that, across 17 major European cities,
motorcycles on average reduce journey times by 30% compared with cars.
The COPERT modelling can therefore be shown to over-estimate the already
low emissions figures for motorcycles by this same percentage.


MAG’s Director of Campaigns & Political Engagement, Colin Brown, stated
“This research has led us to a conclusion that has far-reaching
implications beyond Sadiq Khan’s London: indeed beyond the UK, to the
whole of Europe.  Any air quality modelling that relies on the COPERT
software is misrepresenting the part that motorcycles play in air
quality.  No modelling will ever reveal the benefit that modal shift to
motorcycles and scooters can play in improving the quality of the air
that we all breathe.  An opportunity for all is being hidden through the
use of faulty assumptions that motorcycles are the same as cars and
should be treated in exactly the same way.  This is flawed modelling
that leads to poor decision-making.


MAG is more than happy to answer any questions about motorcycle
emissions, and to work with any authority that genuinely wants to reduce
air pollution to correct the modelling and come to workable policies
that promote the use of motorcycles and scooters.  As we have maintained
all along: motorcycles are the solution not the problem.”

Punched my reg number into the ULEZ checker tonight and .......Bingo 


Actually working at Edgware Road tonight but the Bakerloo line which is the other side of the road, so not included in the ULEZ.
If I were to take a left turn and go to the circle line station it would cost me £12.50.... Actually, £25 if I were to get there before midnight  .
Still haven't upgraded my car yet as I can feel a new challenge coming on.........
