A thread for those of us who like a bit more horsepower on two wheels. Sport, commuting, what bike?, whatever,.. if it's to do with bikes, add it here. |

Currently riding a Fazer FZ6 S2. Daily commute of about 70 miles round trip in all weathers. |

Anyone know if the TT race highlights are being broadcast this year? Or if it's showing live (TV or online) anywhere? |

Sure there will be some evening coverage... ITV4 or summat? Not be a downer, but I note Dan Kneen didn't survive practice

There used to be a bikers thread, no idea what happened to it, died through under-use? TT coverage is on ITV4. I have two Hondas at present: 2014 VFR800 - my weekend, touring, scratching, funbags bike. 1999 NX650 - my winter hack and commuting bike, although it will have to go next year when that lying snivelling two-faced rotten bastard Sadiq Khan introduces the ULEZ charge in London and it will cost £12.50 per day to ride into town. The git. |

£12.50? Per day? On a bike? Do you get your very own lane (like the Soviet Politburo) for that? |

There was a thread, but it fell victim to the Great Cull of 2014. There was also an associated group which somehow survived, with both members intact... Neither had proved very popular, but maybe the time's right now. |

And ITV4 are covering the TT, not much this week but more when the racing starts. Gutted to hear about Dan Kneen. Met him briefly a few years ago. Seemed like a really nice bloke.

£12.50 per day, regardless of vehicle, TommyK, unless compliant with Euro 3 for motorbikes (built after July 2007), Euro 4 for petrol cars (2006) or Euro 6 for diesel cars (2015). So a lowpollutinnoncongestintrafficjambustineasyparkin motorbike gets charged the same as the big flash diesel smogmonster sitting in a jam. Go figure.
