And here's a quick question from me, got an email supposedly from the DVLA on Monday, which to my very suspicious mind could possibly be a scam, It looks kosher but then most scams do don't they? It contained my full name and the reg' number of my Enfield and told me that my monthly direct debit payment for road tax has successfully been renewed from the 1st March.
I've not experienced this before as I always cancel the direct debit at the start of winter, by declaring my bikes "sorned" (to save a bit of hard earned cash) :roll: but last November I forgot. So is this something that anyone on here has seen before, or am I being paranoid?
Cheers, Steve W.
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

Steve, if you ever get an email that looks a bit sus, or 'strange', check the sender's email address, and if it's not kosher, then it's a scam - or google the sender's address to check it.
You must be well off to afford ved anyway. All my bikes are mot and ved exempt, but of course, I'm from God's County where economy is thought of as a virtue, unlike Grimbo virtue which smells like dead halibumt. :?
