Today after a bit of a wait I finally received my Christmas Gift from David and Lynda from Vespa Sherman Oaks.

The filthy fly screen and the "Union Jacked Up" top case from my Scooter Cannonball GTS arrived today and with them lots of wonderful memories from May last year.

It was the sweetest thing to do and I'm deeply moved by it.

Thank you again and again.

Did you give it a good once over for Spiders and/or MRSA? You sure don't need to relive that part of the memory.

and finally ...
As promised, photographic proof that my gifts have actually arrived. Opening those boxes brought a tear to my eye. Thank you all again at VSO

Actually without knowing it David did me another ( massive ) favour.

By sending me the fly screen I no longer have to chase my vinyl guy who is under instructions to make some more Smart logos.

I'm due to get some publicity photos in the next couple of months this will help the process.

If anyone else wants a space on the screen just ask.

I just think if you are going to give you should get something in return.

It felt in 2012 as if I was carrying you all with me.

That's what probably kept me going even though Rick will never forgive me for keeping my secret to myself until the last day.

You and Rick really did a great job placing all of those stickers. Will you be attaching the top case to Rhymes with for the Iron Butt? If so then you already have my sticker. Donation will be coming no matter.

To be fair to the artist Rick just watched on as I ermd and arhd as to where all the flags, roundels and sponsors logos should go but I still wasn't entirely happy with it but pretty everyone got a space.
I was quite chuffed with the main body and the fly screen mainly because the vinyls looked so professional and were evenly distributed.

I won't be taking the ST top case with me to Europe mainly because I don't have a Vespa rack and it would look odd on the Rhymes with Orange so it will stay in my lounge.

Didge and his racks will once again be a sponsor so it's only fair that I'll be advertising his wares fore and aft.

More to come

Graham and I are planning on doing a test ride to Paris in mid March and I'm going to try out my cut down big screen plus the standard Super Sport seat which isn't renowned for being that comfortable.

If the screen doesn't create too much of air brake the stickers will go on that.
That's why they have to be small.

I may well borrow a GT200 seat because they are far more comfortable.

Graham has got his head in his hands because I keep changing the route or loop as it could end up.

I like Graham.
