Re: Moving on from the SV650 - Goldylocks Problem

Yeah as others have said you must try a Honda VFR800. Great bike, sporty when you want it to be but comfortable and a great tourer.
Had mine just under a year now and hands down the best all round...

Re: Battlefield 1 PS4 any players?

It's wicked! You'll never regret that purchase. Online play is hard as but still enjoyable.
Levelling up and obtaining better guns is beyond an 80's born fella like me. Can't get it at all.

New Bike

Hi All!
After last year of buying a dirt cheap bike (Triumph Daytona 600) and riding around on that it became clear that after dropping down to a single car in the family I was using my bike a lot...

They aren't as accurate as you'd hope either.

Was there a member on here who works for them?
I'm sure I remember someone who said they were working for them. Are they still on here? Do they still work for them?

Re: Saudi Arabia

How are you finding the scrambler? Tempted myself but totally different type of bike than I normally ride.

Where you live looks perfect for that thing!

Re: Top Gear is back

No matter how much you shout 'COME ON' to the audience...they still need something to shout about first.

Re: Anyone understand VAT?

Correct but only if the total amount of the goods in the same transaction meets or exceeds £2,000
Below this amount you cannot claim the VAT back.

As far as I can tell all he's doing is getting you the trade rate. I think he's just...

Re: Anyone understand VAT?

We won't keep the VAT. He'll have to pay it but will get it back. He's not gaining anything out of it.

Unless he's flat rate VAT and the tools are over £2k total...in which case he'll get to keep...
