@Julian Bond depends who you consider to be the trolls? FuBar with his 50 posts on boxhill forum, or Biggus with his 24690

Not defending Fubar because he can be a bit over-zealous. But there's half a dozen people like Biggus on every forum where this gets discussed. Seems to be a very British thing to stand there and say "you don't want to do that, you'll just upset everyone". Over and over and over again.

Perhaps, but there are arguably many points on both sides, the thought of losing the bus lanes is a particularly strong point. we had a couple come on to the forum with "how will you face your grandchildren?" emotive, and frankly ridiculous, they blew their own argument out of the water with that one statement !

Very hard to tell whether Boris' outburst was more or less likely to help the Bus Lane cause. TFL apparently very upset by his suggestion he might pre-empt their decision (already made) to extend it and make it permanent. If he does do that, then it may start a very public argument between TFL and the Mayor's office. Agree, the grandchildren comments are ridiculous.

Suzuki Burgman AN400K3. Heavily tweaked to my commuting needs. The White Van of motorcycling.

I'd love it if I could have the sheer performance of the GSXR in the packaging, comfort, riding position and sheer utility of the Burger. But apparently they are mutually exclusive. You can't have a proper sports bike without being uncomfortable and unable to carry any stuff. They're still fun though.

Street Triple. Obviously. ;) The Speedmaster and America are quite cool, though.

@Julian Bond The street triple is not one of the choices, and I already have the speedmaster :) (which I prefer to the America, which IMO has too much bling, and too few front brake discs)

Yup. Though it's more or less mothballed now. Just can't be bothered to blog any more.
