As I understand it the ban will be for new bikes only, no more petrol engine bike's made... therefore exsiting machines on the road will not be efected... OK so they will probably quadruple the road tax & unleded will probably be around £100 per litre...but I'll still have me Storms & the prices of them can only go up !
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...

Electric is still a quick way to pop down the shops for a paper
My new ride is a bit of a Howler and I love to make her Squeal

Them batteries sure don't grow on trees or self charge.
Will the new bikes have solar panels and a large windmill?
Otherwise,I predict more persons lying down in the road or digging up the lawn outside cambridge University. :thumbup:
