If they only charged for one, would everyone ignore the new bridge and continue to use the old bridge thus making the new bridge pointless? (I have no idea where these bridges are)

Just wait, soon each city in France will need its own city specific sticker!!

The French love their stickers don't they!!

Buy a cheap crappy car and the doors are made from tinfoil. If he'd bought a descent car they don't dent as easy. If I saw him parked like this I'd be very tempted to park a motorbike in the space next to his driver's door - plenty of room for a bike!

Something I've wondered for a while - if you had some sort of heated wrist bands, would they warm the blood enough before it got to your fingers??

If the original is broken, maybe take the chance to update and make digital. Take A look at trailtech dashes. http://www.trailtech.net/digital-gauges

Look, a green Honda GSXR with Suzuki badges!! Brain melting...

Fuses blow when the current in the circuit exceeds a safe level... If a brand new bike is blowing fuses that's something the dealer needs to look at. Unless it was caused by the owner messing about changing batteries which they shouldn't need to do on a brand new bike! Dead battery might be a simple thing to rectify but it should not happen on a brand new bike and fuses certainly shouldn't be blowing!!

I'm going for to setup a dodgy bike dealership that sells broken bikes! Seems so many people are buying brand new bikes that break and think it's normal to pay for them to be fixed!! Easy money

It's overpriced imo. 5years ago it might have been good value but so many cheaper alternatives these days.

Take a look at the price of similar systems and match the price, but offer an "early bird discount" to your beta testers. If you have a good product, consider a kick-starter campaign to raise the funds to get it into production.

Why? Maybe because of the reasons he left racing in the 1st place,as said I'm not a guy fan but wish him no harm but I also think this isn't a good move as do a lot (most of real road racing) followers ,fitness,mental attitude ,public appearance ,racing and personal pressure all come into play and with the big h they expect results regardless ,to much for him but that's my opion only Well said... I think the pressure to win is going to put him into the wall... Really hope not though as he's a great personality!

I'd he's not looking after the animals, its your duty to say something and if he doesn't change his ways report him to the RSPCA. Being a dick with money is one thing, but there are no excuses for mistreatment of animals.

I have a horrible suspicion he's going to hurt himself this time...

spot the difference:

See I'm too nice to be a landlord. Recently I had a single guy move out who had to return to his home country in a hurry leaving his furniture behind. Rather than charge him disposal costs as most landlords would, I paid him 300quid for all his furniture. Everyone was a winner. Next a lady moved in who didn't like the very masculine furniture left by the previous l tenant. I told her to sell it and buy some stuff she liked and take the difference off the rent money. Again another very happy tenant who I think will remain a long time. I've never had problems tenants and the only time I ever withheld a deposit was when a Russian lady moved out and left the place in a complete state... She wouldn't miss the money, it was all paid 6months in advance from a Swiss bank account by her daddy's PA. I don't even think she would have missed the 18 carat white gold Tiffany earring she left behind - she certainly never asked for them back!!

And yet we don't have the sodding increase in supply to meet the demand when it comes to housing Possibly the only context in which that sentence would ever ring true What we need is more imigrants and less Brits. Imigrants are happy to pile loads of themselves into one house whereas all the jobless British benefits scroungers seem to think they are entitled to an entire house each and moan when they get taxed for empty bedrooms!

Buy the second hand engine from a reputable salvage yard and it should include a warranty.

Give it back to the dealer tell them to stop wasting your time and make it clear you don't want the bike back until it's fixed. If they can't fix it they must replace it. That's what warranties are for. To return a bike with the exact same symptoms it went in with is terribly unprofessional. Clearly they didn't actually test the bike before giving it back.

Interest only is fine and typical for buy to let.. I have all my properties on interest only. My own home is on interest only because it needed to be gutted and completely renovated so rather than spending money paying off the mortgage, I spent money renovating and extending and buying furniture etc.. once the spending finished, can then use the spare cash to make regular overpayments on the mortgage. But currently with mortgage rates so low, many people are better off not overpaying and instead investing the spare money for a better return. So long as the interest on the investment is higher than the mortgage interest you're quids in!

Should have kept it green and stuck a Honda badge on to really confuse people.

Nope, haven't got a Scooby Doo...

That's not snow, the local drug dealer's cocain stash blew up and showered most of Spain in white stuff... Because all Brits who move to Spain are criminals on the run right??

This will probably make a few of you lot hate me, but I'll post it anyway... I have a few rental properties in Southampton. A couple of them I bought back in 2007 with just a 15% deposit. I bought off plan and got a reduced price for buying two flats at the same time. Anyone could get mortgages back then, just needed to find a deposit and developed were working out deals for returning deposits on completion. It was the crazy days of buy to let which we will never see again - securing flats for £1 - that's unheard of these days. I took a gamble on lifetime base rate tracker mortgages... I was predicting a rate reduction, but didn't ever imagine it would come down as far as it has. As the base rate came down, so did my mortgages but rental prices continued to rise steadily (I've never put anyone's rent up, I just increase when new tenants move in). Monthly mortgage payment is now about 170 per flat (interest only) but becaue I keep the flats in excellent condition I can charge top market rate. Suffice to say you certainly couldn't rent a flat of the same standard in the center of Southampton for 170pcm..
