¡Increible!

It seems they base the road tax level here in Spain on BHP. I got my
road tax demands yesterday:

Seat Ibiza 1.4 - 49 euros
Bike - 89 euros!

I think I'm going to downsize...

Hmm?

You're complaining about paying 60 quid's worth of road tax for a bike?

Shit yes. 648 bhp/tonne. I don't know what the ratio is for the car, but
it makes about 74 bhp and is - well - a car, so it must weigh quite a lot.

It wouldn't be that bad I guess, but its suprising how there are hardly
