One minute the old jobs in jeopardy the next its all hunky dory again. theres a full face lid, waterproofs, gloves and five cans of stella under the seat by the way!



Some kids were at the naafi a minute ago. I pulled up and as i took my lid off i heard one say,

thats not a bike thats a scooter - scooters are sh!t! See you when i whizz past the bus stop mother f**er!

I wouldn't mind a go on one myself.
Looks like it would be good for long trips. That seat looks more comfortable than my sofa.
Looks good zomb. With that size of engine, its more bike than scooter.

One of the Welsh lads had got one similar to that when I was down that way with Ren, BJ and the others a few weeks back. It certainly didn't disgrace itself

lets face it, its a scooter but it goes well and it handles well too. Itll never feel like a 'proper' bike coz of the riding position but it goes like stink and is very smooth at seventy and above. I would rather manuacturers made things that look more likes with cvt but what can i do? im a victim of market forces! Tales of the 850 gilera still abound and im convinced that a 1000cc scoot will be on the road before the end of the decade. bring it on and ill thrash the living daylights out of it!
Still, at least i dont have to rick my neck nodding anymore as no bugger seems to nod at me! Not that im bothered.....cheeky sh!tes ive had more bikes than they've had hot dinners.....

When I still had my SV I got chased by a bloke one night on a big Scoot. I think it was a T-Max or similar. He bought it for commuting on, had a real bike too but found that the scoot was so easy to ride at a reasonable speed that he hardly rode anything but his scoot anymore
