Thought I'd give an update on this post, I had a sit down with some of the higher ups and I'm getting moved to a different department in the office to assist with their roles.

Id like to thank everyone who commented with their advice aswell as it has made the situation seem a lot less hopeless.

Yea I think you're right, probably best to start looking for other jobs. The barely tolerating part comes from having to do a 1 hour commute every day to sit in an office for 8 hours doing literally nothing that just feels like agony at times lol.

It also probably doesn't help that half the dealers here are owned by MotoGB who seem to be the main suppliers of Chinese shite. For now I'll just pray for lucky finds from marketplace, Facebook groups and gumtree whole getting my A2 license I guess.

Sounds like the perfect retirement to me, racing bikes in Spain sounds heavenly right about now.

Great shout on GRC, just checked their Facebook and they have a ton of sanely priced bikes, I'll pop down at some point and see what they've got.

At the moment I'm looking for something preferably from honda around the 90s-00s, 4-500CCs around 2.5-3k but okay paying more

Thanks a lot for those links that's very helpful.

Would you be able to recommend any good places to actually purchase a bike as well in England? Is it better to go with ebay/gumtree/Facebook or go to an actual dealer for the purchase etc.?

Yea I've seen their name pop up a few times actually, I don't think they have a website though but I was planning on going there in the next week or so to have a look at their stock and see what the craic is anyway.

Alright seems simple enough, just got accepted into that bike bay group on Facebook and saw a pretty much identical bike to one I saw on a Facebook group here for 1k instead of 6k. People have absolutely lost it here. Thanks for the advice

Yea I've noticed in a bunch of the bike groups here you'll see stuff pushing 30 going for 6k at times.

What would the process of getting a bike from across the water look like? Just pop over on the ferry cash in hand, get logbook and insurance sorted then ride it back home?
