I have the choice of mountain bike, motorbike and car to get to work, I always choose the mountain bike, it's only in exceptional circumstances that I use any of the others (if I need to go somewhere after work or have an appointment during work time) The motorbike has been MOT'd and taxed recently with the intention of using it more and thus saving using the S8. That's the intention though I doubt it'll happen, 15,000 miles on it in 15 years is a bit shameful but I can't bear to get rid, I just know I'd regret it instantly.
On the subject of helicopter rides Del, I had my first ever one in New York last month, it was better than I expected somehow. Felt a bit vunerable and there was a fair bit of buffeting but on the whole it was enjoyable. Some great views of the city and it's sights made the whole thing worthwhile
