I am thinking of buying a new MG4 long-range EV 280 miles and 30 mins to charge from 10% to 80% and reckoned to be as good as a VW
The MG4 is quite nice, I am almost tempted to suggest the wife gets one as her next new car. I know you were asking about scooters but I get about 88-94 mpg on my NC750x which has a 3 gallon tank inc. reserve.

Yeah - just saw a Youtube vid on that myself.....but I'm not sure whether that's a real life range or not. I need something that can guarantee me a miniumum of 280 miles at 70mph the entire way in winter, with lights, heating, wipers on. Not that I can afford £30k+ for a car anyway....

Thanks OneFoot. Not really mending just yet. Having my situation managed until surgical team can take me later in week. But I think so far I'm stable, sort of. You take care.

I think this needs a new topic, Data.

I'm concerned that we're discussing your health under a topic called, "Motorcycle ban!" 8-)

Keep us all up to date, please. I assume that Mottza has your number and relevant details.

And, to risk paraphrasing almost everyone you've seen recently, rest up!

I had to wait for a while after my heart attack in 2018 and it's not a pleasant experience. Had the attack on Wednesday, from the early hours, diagnosed lunchtime-ish. Angiogram on the Friday then ambulanced to Sheffield for the stent and ballooning on the following Monday. That weekend I was a nervous wreck.

Thanks capitano. Yes Mottza has my details, we're conversing. I'm going dark. Being prepped for surgery so won't be about for a little while. Thanks everyone. Speak again soon.
