Well I was out in the garden tinkering about with my bikes and to be honest it sounded like moto gp loads of bikes around going far to fast.(Sounded nice) what people need to remember is most have not riddern in a wile over the winter months and you can get a little jaded with your riding skills plus your brakes may have glazed over and not be so sharp they my need bedding in a bit. I wonder how many even botherd checking there tire pressures and just dragged the bike out and cained the living day lights out of it............I was in my van the other day in 30mph zone out in the sticks 2 bikes came by doing well over 30 kin mad it dose nobody any good and tars us all with a bad name. moan moan

This offer is unfortunately quite unavailable for most people using a bike for their shopping, here is the text of an e-mail I have sent to their headquarters asking about this.......... "Dear Morrisons, I am writing about your offer of 15p off a litre of petrol, when you buy £60 worth or more of shopping. This sounds great for everyone who visits you with a nice big car, but is, of course, of no use whatsoever to a motorcyclist who would never be able to fit £60 worth of shopping on their bike. I would like to suggest that you might like to offer a "Bikers special" whereby you receive the same discount for £20 worth of shopping, but you would be limited to just filling up a motorcycle petrol tank, far smaller than a car tank.. I think the net cost to yourselves would be roughly the same, and you would have the advantage of attracting the large amount of bikers who get sent out to do the shopping, we are always keen to support shops that do not discriminate against us."

The various Air Ambulance charities that operate in the UK are currently unable to reclaim VAT on fuel, unlike the RNLI that is an equivalent charitable service. There is an online petition (hyperlink below) and I ask you to consider adding your name to this. I believe any such petition that gets 100,000 signatures then has to be brought to the attention of the Government. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/29349 You never know if you might need this service.
