Posted: 12:39 - 25 Oct 2018 Post subject: Ultra Low Emission Zone in London |
|
|
I have just checked and from April 2019 my bike (a 12 year old Fazer) will be subject to a £12.50 a day charge, as it's parked on the street and I live inside the boundary of the North Circular & South Circular Roads.
I imagine that there are THOUSANDS of other bikers who ride older bikes into Central London who are not aware of this change.
Thanks to our Mayor I am now going to have to get rid of my bike which has just passed its MOT and either get a new one or just not bother with a bike any more.
The pollution this is supposed to curtail is caused by the mismanagement of the roads by TfL and kowtowing to the cycle lobby.
I am REALLY pissed off!

which ULEZ zoning are you going by? the one in 2019 is going to be this one:
https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/ultra-low-emission-zone/ulez-where-and-when?intcmp=54312
It isn't until 2021 when it will go out to the north and south circular.
My work is just outside the boundary at St Mary's hospital paddington so got lucky there, but by 2021 will need to get a new one, it is a shame as I like old sports bikes as they are more roomy (6ft2 20st), so looks like I am going to have to get something a bit chunkier in a newer bike, perhaps africa twin maybe but budgets are tight so maybe an NC700 or whatever they are called |

It's all good for the environment, you know, throwing away perfectly good vehicles, to replace them with modern rented ones.
Well, it's not good for the environment, but Germany and France need to flog new cars to use every 3 years to keep in profit. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

Yep, where have you been this last few years?! Yes, it is shit news, but it's most definitely not new news. Yes, are decent, solid, robust, economical, reliable and cheap to insure bikes are all being penalised unjustly and unfairly (compared to other more polluting vehicles). Yes, it's all happening, and no it's too late for any exception like MAG have managed to win against the Birmingham emission zone.
Just moved up from my old Fazer as I work in central congestion zone, got a slightly newer FZ6 S2, so far doing the job grand and didn't break the bank. Probably end up taking the old FZS600 to family up North to flog, as it's clearly only worth £200... ____________________ Beginner Biker Adventures Blog

Is this right? Anything in class 'Historic' ULEZ exempt? Fairly ironic to ride my GT250 2-smoke into the centre of err.. 'The Smoke'.. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750
