As much as I see the point of a car, and I learned to drive in LDVs/4X4s offroad, I do prefer bikes. Ok, during wintwer when it's pissing down or -5 outside then it gets tedious, but at the end of the day mu fuel tank costs max £15 to fill and will go around 150 miles to a tank. I could probably get it to go more, depending on what my speeds/journey entails. I could never do that in a car - the cost of fuel plus getting caught in traffic more would render owning a car way out of budget for me. Then there's the higher costs of insurance and road tax. My road tax is £35 and insurance is about £300. I had an insurance quote for an old 1990's Land Rover, and was quoted £1500 for the year, with tax now around £200 a year. No thanks...
