      @@DickWhistles if you did a 30 mile round trip in the 4x4 and calculated how much fuel had been used i wonder how far you could travel on the grom on that same amount of fuel!? I'm not 4x4 bashing it would just be an interesting comparison. Great Christmas present btw. Merry Christmas to you all:)

      @@simonbealingno argument from me. Our 4x4 is generally reserved for long rides out of the city when carrying the whole family or friends, gear or towing. We took it that day as Fannie thought (correctly) that we might be able to fit the bike inside. The 4x4 has its purpose(s) as does the Grom and every other vehicle we have in our fleet. If walking or our bicycles don’t fit our needs and the 125s we have in the city don’t suit the purpose we have a 3cyl Mini that does most jobs adequately. But having the truck has saved a lot of headache with moving and travel.

    Congrats. When I first saw it I thought it was a Navi. Do they even sell those in the UK?

      Cheers. I saw press for it, but haven’t seen it over here. Also no example or chatter about it at the recent trade show.

    Uh huh. Mr I'm so bored & it's everyone else's fault is all about a toy bike. On 2nd thought, don't grow up, it sux anyway....

      A toy bike from seven years ago! Arguably the last era of innovation. But yeah, grasping at straws here. Anything to ignite the old furnace.
      Oh, and I’ll never grow up. That’s for sure.
      Thanks for the comment.
