I’m not sure where I stand either as I pay more Vehicle Excise Duty and probably more overall tax than PB4.2. Does that mean I have more right to the road than he does? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're cycling about in a non-intrustive manner you have nothing to worry about. Chances are we don't have you on our database as we only hold records of about 200 cyclist including two on here (Statts is a cat 3) (UTN cat 5). We only become interested if you're a threat to normal people, or enter these daft races which close our tax-funded roads. Congrats on your Perthshire property through fella. The choice of winners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you including Fuel duties in your calculations? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well your Kia has a lower duty band than mine, I did 35,000 miles last year and you were too ashamed to discuss your own salary in a discussion that you set up to find out what other people earned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Tattiescone Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 There's a good route at Kippenrait Glen. Not technically too difficult but helluva steep in places. Nearly took a header off a 40ft drop but managed to grab some nettles to stop me - ouch! - https://ridewithgps.com/routes/12311963 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically you are using speculation and fantasy. This is where we differ. I don't doubt that you earned more than me last year because I work as little as possible. I have my own Financial Services company and take outsourcing work. Which is why I'm in North Edinburgh as I have been for the last 14 months. Typically I work 20-25 hour in the winter and 10-20 in the Summer. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statts1976uk Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Let’s deal with the speculation, do you or do you not drive a Kia Cee’d diesel that attracts a road fund licence of around £30 a year? Significantly less than my diesel Mercedes I would wager. Financial services company, here is what I make of that. You do contracting, maybe agency work in an office hence your own company but your hours are greatly reduced in the summer time as the market is flooded with students looking for work. I think you work a pitch in a street or shopping centre somewhere trying to flog PPI claims hence outsourcing the investigations to another company. If you are such a financial whizz-kid, then why are you looking at buying a new Kia (which doesn’t exist except in concept form) instead of a more tax efficient lease deal possibly for a Lexus which we all know your heart desires. Putting your money into Kia shares which have dipped significantly wasn’t a shrewd move either. Anyway I apologise to my fellow cyclists for the derailment of this thread. Let’s get back to the joys of two wheels whether it’s road, mountain or track. Edited February 1, 2018 by statts1976uk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldbitterandgrumpy Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 After 15 years away from cycling, bought myself a Boardman hybrid last year. It's not top of the range but reliable and most importantly comfortable. 4 hours seems to be my limit, but that's usually good for 45-50 miles with a fair bit of climbing. Came on here to ask a question, but thought I'd check the thread first to see if it's been asked before. Ended up reading the entire thread from page 1, and unfortunately, because it took me nearly 4 months to get through it, I've forgotten what the question was. Great read though. Things sure have changed a lot in 15 years. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
