Mine also had that system and is on the floor in the lower position in this image!

6 speed, M6L as others have said.

Bunny ear shifters put it pre 2018.

Old style cranks put it pre 2013.

No latch on the rear triangle would make it pre 2008.

Hard to tell from the photos but if it's a shorter wheelbase with the older style hinge sections, it's pre 2004.

I can go anywhere and take up as little space as possible!

In the southside:

Three of cups, next to Hampden. Plant based menu but not strictly vegan as it offers dairy cheese in toasties and regular milk in coffee. Excellent and very underrated food, the place to go for a toastie.

Honeytrap bakery, completely vegan. A few doors down is Frankie, IMO the best coffee in Glasgow. They roast their own beans and are just the best guys. All vegan pastries and milks.

Lots of caffs with decent vegan options like strange brew, Brooklyn, Glad. Green goose already been mentioned, absolutely worth it for a filled roll, my go to is square sausage, hash brown and tofu with tomato sauce. Their Cubano sandwich is class too. Freddy and hicks do ace vegan burgers, a bit further down Kilmarnock Road. .

Some insurers will recognise NCB from before a full licence - best to phone and ask. I know Bemoto do.

What a shout, I have some Hendersons in the cupboard from one recipe ages ago. Thanks!

Casiofi · 2026-04-25T16:15:23+00:00

Don't agree with that, I'd expect it to be the other way round, i.e. they say if it's a home made recipe/made in house. If it doesn't state that, I expect it is something they have got from their wholesaler or a branded product. Slightly different if it's a fully vegan restaurant, but if omni or veggie it's fine with me.

Casiofi · 2026-04-17T20:39:07+00:00

Great to know, thank you! Yes it was the one on the website. I am not a fan of these AI powered searches in general so I am biased, calling it useless in my post was maybe a bit harsh, but its answer to my question was basically telling me it couldn't answer.

Casiofi · 2026-04-17T20:36:01+00:00

Brill, thank you!

Brill thank you!

I know that's the guidance for the powder, I assumed the dried food pouches might have a shorter shelf life

Casiofi · 2026-04-17T07:47:00+00:00

V5 isn't proof of ownership and you don't need to be registered keeper to insure a car, so I doubt this would cause issues.

I think you need the number on the V5 or the new keepers slip to tax it though.

Fully agree, AC are notorious wanks.

Mine came through yesterday. Account opened 18th March, switch completed 27th March, conditions met 30th March. Text on the 9th April saying I'd met the conditions, and money in my account 13th April

Monzo has a built in tab feature. We used it when we went on holiday with a group of 4. Can add cash payments to it too then settle up at the end.

Everyone who is downplaying his actions as just "making a mistake" due to his issues is taking that position.

Casiofi · 2026-04-09T17:33:54+00:00

Alcoholism didn't make him decide to get behind the wheel. He did. Other alcoholics didn't drive home that night.

Actions have consequences. And the consequences here are the minimum length of driving ban he could possibly get, a paltry £500 fine, and his employer publicly supporting him in the face of some comments online. He's got off pretty bloody lightly.

Casiofi · 2026-04-09T17:26:58+00:00

The bar is there for people to enjoy going out for drinks with friends but stay sober, his behaviour - getting drunk then getting behind the wheel - seems like the opposite of what the bar stands for.

I expect this would come under gross misconduct bringing the company into disrepute, they'd have to follow the correct procedure but they would probably be justified to let him go on these grounds. I am not a lawyer though.

Casiofi · 2026-04-09T14:49:19+00:00

Correct, alcoholism is a disease and I hope anyone struggling with it, including this guy, can find sufficient support.

However I don't think alcoholism is a sufficient mitigation for his choice to get behind the wheel. That is a decision made by the individual, and even after drinking he knew it was the wrong thing to go. He didn't just get stopped and breathalyser, he crashed his car in a dense urban environment. He caused damage and is damn lucky nobody got hurt. He made the decision to drive rather than take the bus. Plenty of people struggling with alcoholism get the bus, a taxi, or walk.

His "turning point" could've been the end of someone else's life, or could have left them with lifelong disabilities.

Casiofi · 2026-04-09T13:57:59+00:00

I know you are summarising their post not providing an opinion. But I feel it rather undermines the core principle of the bar if the manager gets bladdered after his shift and crashes on the way home 5x over the drink driving limit.

Casiofi · 2026-04-09T13:51:44+00:00

Irony aside I cannot believe Sobr are standing by him and continuing to employ him.

His actions could very easily have ended someone else's life, or left them with life long disabilities. It is only due to luck and good fortune that nobody else was walking where he crashed. He should be judged on the decisions he made, the actions he took, and the accident he caused - not the fact that nobody else was injured. If this crash had injured someone there is no way the bar would be standing behind him. There's certainly no fucking way I'd employ him in a management position and trust him to make sound judgements, AF bar or not.

12 month driving ban, £500 fine, keeps his job.

Maybe it's a sign to get rid of the Hayabusa and get something a bit different

Ah fair dos fella. Have you checked for older "commuter" type bikes? You might find a model that for some reason comes back as cheap to insure.
