How bizarre. Too bad you didn't have a camera! Here, road tax is partially paid by auto registrations. I have 2 (plus DH's) - so, that argument doesn't hold water for me personally. But even so, from what I understand, our road upkeep $$ predominately comes from other places (and bikes certainly don't put the same load on the road as other vehicles).

So...did you get your Surly??
