2023 is here, here, and it will soon be everywhere.

Looking forward to more scooting in '23, more travel, and and something more like normality than the hell of the last three years.

Happy New Year everyone!

The last few years have been one hell of a ride just with less well... riding. Let's hope for a return to something more normal though it will be a "new" normal. History is a funny thing when you sit back and realize you are actually living through a key moment in human history.

World Peace (or as close as we can get) would be a real bonus on top of hopefully the end of the pandemic. Mr Blue Sky has to eventually come out so let's hope we see more of him in 2023.

Wishing everyone a great 2023 and hope for a MV full of pics of great scooters and MVers doing all sorts of fun things with them.

Happy New Year to everyone on MV, and here's to a less crazy and more productive year ahead (though I'm keeping my box of masks handy just in case ).

May your maintenance be routine,
Your roads clear,
And your gear sufficient.

May the rain find you after you've parked,
May thieves be blind to your presence,
And may the miles/kilometers bring you joy...or at least peace.

Happy New Year, all.

Wishing all MVers the very best for 2023. Hopefully everyone gets at least one of "those" rides that only other scooterists understand, and that this year is much better than 2020 - 2022 have been.

A very happy 2023 to all - I hope everyone enjoys great health, good luck, finds a new favorite ride and just generally enjoys peace. Only January, and I'm already looking forward to getting the BV 350 out of the shed...

Well Znomit, for me personally, that was the most fitting subject title I can possibly imagine. Thank God it's finally over.

2022 wasn't kind to the world and it wasn't kind to me and my family and I've literally been counting down the days to welcome 2023 into my life.

May 2023 bring each and every one of you true happiness, passion and at the very least: ease of mind.

Happy New Year!

Happy 2023 all, today I am building up the energy to find a fault on a 139qmb if I can be bothered. In the coffee shop on my second coffee and it's nice and warm here.
