Although I very rarely not want to when it's bright and sunny, and often don't want to when its wet and cold.... ;D

I personally don’t subscribe to this ‘fair weather biker’ biking snobbery.

To me whatever you ride or whenever you ride, “We are all in it together”

i agree as and when i want to is the rule for me

I have a bmw 3 year old 520d and never seen 60mpg the best ive seen is 42 mpg on motorway and 38-36 round town, road tax is 185 for 12 month,
and with diesel costing more than petrol i dont see that using a bike is any worse on running cost,
the bike i have is showing 38mpg ,

However there are cars that will do the stated 60+mpg and no road tax, but i guess it depends if you like the type cars that do it ..

just seen the stats you give for a 320d is for a brand new car, but i doubt you will see the stated 60mpg, however how many have the option to get a new car to do this ?

this is only my opinion and no criticism to any one on this forum
