Modern Vespa

You know how much I like to hurt myself, well at 5.30am I misjudged the gap between two cars at work and snagged my thigh on a bumper of a Discovery.

OK I had my keys in my pocket which didn't help but even though it made me wince I didn't think much more of it until two days later until this appeared.

Both maybe?

Fixed that for you eh Grant!

Says the man with the red GTs! 😂

1000 miles on a Royal Enfield, now that would be an endurance ride!

MY LX can go faster than a Royal Enfield.

And here I am, Skoking in at #47...damn, you guys don't waste time!

Again, a cool shout to Ash and the gang for the grand fun Le Wife and me had with them while across the pond last month. (The pints were good...I think they helped us win the pub quiz that night.)

As for not being able to view YT vids: if you're using a phone, try using Firefox; it's the only browser that works on my Galaxy S7.

It's my laptop! I'm using Chrome. It doesn't work on IE either. Will try FF

Impressive....sometimes I think a hoverboard would almost keep up with some of 'em.

It works on Firefox!

I've dangled the carrot so lets see what develops.

Failing that I have a Plan B.

Great! My work is done here...or is it? Oh, dear...left my tape-measure thingy in the glove box...and, look at the time!

The world is a bit more comfortable now that there's a new donk thread. It's been a while since I've added a new thread to my favorites list.
Life is good...

I assume Bill's on about the new larger 650 Enfields - but then knowing Bill maybe not.
They do look good though.

Haven't we done this title already

When was that?

Dunno mate, it just wrang a bell.

How is everyone these days?

Anyone going to the bike show at the NEC?
Scomadi have a stand this year with new models.

Wasn't there a 'think I better Skok, skok, skok, on Donk'?

I'm okay mate, but I am considering updating my third party photo host.

Yes there was but that Skok was a totally different Donk

Yep, those guys hosed just about everyone.

Kittens!

Purdey is on the left and Tribble on the right.

That's all I can say.

Both great names! 😀

Yeah Baby!

^^^^^^^^^ Classy

Ahhh...still need my own Skok sticker...

....and still valid today

Best to "be like Tom", but I reckon his friend got lucky more often, never mind Tom's new scootng "friend".

Aaaaah, they're adorable! Great names and cute little faces.

I am back from a long weekend in Berlin, which I mostly spent eating everything. Some of the eating was done in the lovely company of SnookerInBerlin, too!

They are just awesome kittens. So much fun, very affectionate and they make the most adorable noises.

I love how they're squishing themselves into the sunbeam there. Such cat.

Today I left Land Rover and on Monday I start to work for Porsche.

I can't wait.

Whooo....anticipated change-up?

Not for me as i don't really need one.

I just wanted to work for a manufacturer whose product actually works......unlike a Range Rover.

What exactly do you do there?

I'm what they call the Retailer Host.

Initially I meet and greet all of our customers and escort them to the Service, Sales or Parts department as many of our visitors still become a little phased by the experience.

It sounds simple but every dealership in the UK never has enough space and if you don't have anyone to "work" the site it soon seizes up so I spend much of my day making sure that the site is breathing.

If our customers can't park their experience starts with a disappointment and as reviews count for everything these days we try and ensure they always can.

Try to imagine a bowl of custard that's over flowing and the cars are the custard and the bowl is the site.

Well I'm there to eat the custard.

MMmm, custard.
