Default Is it me or is petrol going back to where it was last year???

I've just recently sold my ducati monster and replaced it with my first scooby.

I was pushed towards bikes because of the overall running costs of a fast car - couldn't warrant the spend against reward etc. I'm just not a good enough rider to push the bike how I want. I like the relative safety of a 4 wheel drift.

This is a handy little gadgie - helps you find the cheapest fuel provider (diesel, lpg, 95,97ron) within a radius of your postcode. Sainsbury's is the cheapest for me at 104.9 - Wouldn't have tried there as I have Asda and Tesco closer

Have you got an X5..... (4.4 v8 - trying to guess) or it it a monaro type thing

I'd have rather pissed in the tank than put Ultimate in, especially at that price!

Yep a X5 it is.

It has to be a bike again! I rode bikes for about 4 years before my first Scoob. On my TL1000R it cost me £11 to fill up and i use to get about 180 miles before the light came on (and there was no slow riding in there at all) Road tax was cheap and i could park in the city of London (Were i live for free!).

Aprilia RSV here i come
