It's not that she isn't getting much use, but when I move out at the weekend my new home only has enough room for one bike under cover and even that's a pain to get it parked. Plus the bloody insurance is goning up on the PCX because it won't be in a garage but a shed complete with "rich unbustable ground anchor" (patent not pending :) )
Adds £30 quid to insurance even though I'm only moving 1 bloody mile!!

Hey ho Hmmmm - the complexities of British insurance.

Is that the monthly increase!? That's more than I pay per month for full coverage in the USA! The more I hear about insurance in the UK, the more I think it's just a racket controlled by the mafia. :lol:

It's not the mafia, it's controlled by Satan and his call centre minions.

Come on guys be realistic the Mafia!? and Satan? - They're less of a pain. :lol:

The real culprits are the Government - they set the rules by which insurance is governed and meted out to the public. I'm just glad it's only £30 extra for the year (not monthly). I deliberately waited to move until the insurance was up so I wouldn't pay an admin fee(usually £25-30 on top of any increase!)

Could do without it mind - spending enough on moving :( - bed, carpet, paint for room etc. Mind my new TV was a bit of a bargain. :D

Oh and Woolley - I won't have anything said against Satan - he is my dad after all! :lol:

I've been up so long now I got used to it.

Back on Topic. Put the Sym up on Gumtree 2 days ago and haven't had anyone ringing or emailing about it yet.
Guess it could be on there for a while which is a shame as I could do with the money for a new PC when I finally move out later today! :D

I'm back!!! :lol:

Finally got everything moved and sorted, got settled in and last night the phone rang about the SYM. Today at 12.30 we parted company, him taking the SYM, half a bottle of 2 stroke, a chain and lock(with all 3 keys) and me with £400 in my pocket and a little bit happier. :)

So I went out this afternoon and bought myself a shiny new Dell Laptop and a new Fuji Bridge Camera. :D

Got myself a Finepix S3200 14m 24x optical zoom with superwide lens and 10cm Macro. On sale at Asda :) .

That plus the Laptop only came to just over £400. So overall I'm a happier Bunny at the minute. 8)

Awesome cameras. Mines a couple models up from that I think, 30x manual zoom and I think it's 16 megapixel. Can take 360 degree panoramic pictures and stuff. I had the s2500 before that which is a few models down from yours. I only upgraded because where I work had the hs20 in stock and if i traded mine in towards it with my discount it was less than £100 on top for it. So much better than a compact but no hassle of changing lenses etc.
