Hi zanO, no I didn`t see that but will tune in tonight for the news.

have read articles over recent years where there is a gathering push to ban 2 strokes.

I think what we may find is with technology advancing, some time soon they will just stop producing 2 strokes,then wait a few years till all or most of your,now older models, die out and then start looking at banning all 2 strokes.

PS. Nige said to say hi if when communicated next.

cheers Gad

Just saw the report, I am happy to trade up to a 4 stroke, if the government gives a large contribution.
