I'd be interested to see how crime figures are now. I bet burglars have taken a big knock with their income. And car thieves.

Not quite as bad as you might think due to its age (2005) - £330 per year. Still more than yours, though!
I hope Marco's not going to be too upset that I've now got more power than him...

Well, given that used car prices are falling and fuel is as cheap as I can remember it for years, I must confess to stretching the government's definition of "essential shopping" to the limit last week...
I love it, very expensive to own in the U.S.
It is funny how some of the best old British brands have become Indian owned.
When Conner gets older and goes to collage 8 years from now I am going to get another Motorcycle.
The 3 I like are the Triumph Scrambler, Royal Enfield 500 classic and the RE Himalayan. RE is now also made in India and before long Harley Davidson maybe too.

70 years ,Wow!
If I get a 500 it will most likely be used as they discontinued it for 2021.
RE is changing it's line up to target younger riders .

While Indian motorcycles are made in USA. It's all so confusing.

Yes, I just wish they would fix their dependability issues.
Right now Triumph is building some of the best motorcycles to have ever graced the road.
They are way better than my old British bikes from the 70's, and I don't need Whit worth tools to tighten up half the bike after a long ride.
And a test light to under the seat to trace the electrical issue of the week.
The new Triumphs just work ,as dependable as a Japanese bike but classic British styling.
