Modern Vespa

I wanna come but it doesn't look like im going to be able to

You guys have fun and count me in for one of those badges

Ah! the sweet smell of page 8

9am. You're all having a larf aren't you?

That's like yet another work morning for me.... Sure I will make it there though. What is the estimated time of departure from Borough??

Christos I will be at the pub at 12am I'll wait for you there so you won't be alone. We'll wait for the half caff posse to arrive in all thier glory.
I'm also looking for somewhere to ride out to on Friday because the GT200 is going for a long blast. Anyone around ?
Also could all of you who are coming please confirm here so I can book the table under Donkie Skok SC UK.
Thank you to all our readers.

See you at the Pub Christos. I have no idea what kind of food they serve so it could be a surprise. Mines a diet coke.

I love the smell of page 8 in the morning.

That should have read - look out boy she'll chew you up. Sorry Doug.

Heyup, you lot, sort it out. ..8 pages already..ha.......lets meet here, no there, 8) ..what time then, lets see now, um...9, no 10. or maybe 11..ha.. ...whatever you decide , have a good ride out..mart

See I like that place - even the coffee is attractive.

i only said 9 because i know what you lot are like .... i'm aiming to leave borough market by about 9:45, but once you factor in latecomers, drinking of coffee, procurement of cheese, discussions/debates about the best route to take, etc. etc. etc. .... i'm gonna be there at 9.

actually we're doing pretty well this time. we only took a page and a half to settle on a date and a place - the rest of it has all been a complete waste of bandwidth

I deplore wasted resources!

It's going on group ride-outs that convert 'scooter commuters' into bikers, who do it for the fun.

All those who declare that bikes are good for the environment are talking twaddle - I do maybe 3,000 miles a year on essential grocery trips etc, the other 22,000 are purely for pleasure! Now show me a car driver in the UK who could say that - going out for a 'Sunday drive' died out in the fifties...

So don't waste that precious resource 'time'. Do things while you can.

I think I'm going to take my car out for a drive on Sunday because I'm sure the pleasure of it hasn't died out.

Oi! behave yourself, its taken months of training and preperation and a huge amount of dedication to craft these 8 lovingly formed pages. I for one would like to congratulate everyone involved for their hard work and comitment to the cause

where else in the debt ridden world can you gleen nugets of perfectly honed information that sways from the benefits of a great country pub to the mongering of cheese and merkins eh? tell me where!

..nice one jimc...most of these wont know about the 50s...

..ha, yep i know bad me... ..lets now hope weather is good for you all..

What's the route - is there anywhere scenic we could stop for a nice 12-scooter photo opportunity?

..Whats the Route ? this could lead to another few pages now you,ve asked that. he.and how do you know its 12 scoots ?? 8) ..could be , 10, or even 15..ha

Ide Hill or Penshurst?

Is it page 9 yet?

NO

... but maybe now it is

.... no still page 8

18 posts after this one it will magically change...

Ah ha! 40 posts per page, now i understand...

its a slowwwwww old day at the mill

I vote Penshurst. Must charge camera batteries...

I love that place in borough mkt and as much as I dread 9am on a sat (it will also mean I leave the house like 8:30am ugghghhhh) I think it's clever because it's quite a way we're going and we don't want to return in the dark.
And for 12 o clock at the pub I think it's wise to allow 2 hours at the very least - especially from me the 50cc!
glad I'll be escorted by you lot too, I won't get lost to borough market but would struggle to find that petrol station already in the sticks!! hehe

my top box is jammed so I can't carry much stuff! I'm so gutted. the lock is really rubbish, and I had a new one put on last year. Does anyone think they can have a look? This way I can help carry the cheese

hope the weather is nice, it was minging outside just now!
much love!!! ta-da!!!!

that'll be a moment to remember

But me and Christos want to be in the picture.........
Billy-not-in the picture-scoot

I will bring my posh camera. There is a credit crunch, innit, so I will refrain from buying any cheeses for the mices.

Maybe I can stretch to coffee. I will be there shortly after nine I hope. Looks like we can add a new member to our Kent gathering.... (ohsuchislife)

I do so hope Bill doesn't scare him off by flirting with him (Bill, be on best behaviour, please, and leave christosx alone too). Huskeyteer and I are already quivering.... maybe Wonder Machine and her Supermerkin can protect us all.

Dessa I'd be glad to look at your lock. I shall bring my mini toolkit! We don't want a cheesy disaster en route. Hopefully the sun will shine on DKSC on Saturday. I, however, do not trust the BBC, especially after letting the Radio 2 controller resign. (Oh, on second thoughts that was a good thing, as she was the one who hired Brand. And who was it again suggested that the little troll play Frankenfurter???)

Lokng forward to seeing you all on Saturday.... what happened to secret Santa by the way or did the carmudgeons put paid to that?

I am now rambling so I had better stop.

Meanwhile,

I am

I was just going to test jimc's 40 posts per page theory out, but I now realise that I ain't that bovvered....

Don't worry Doug because I think Nik the Escort should be meeting us at the Pub at 12 so he will make sure my flirting will be kept to the minimum.
I hope you don't mind a non Vespa owner joing us on that day.
He's a good sort as those of you who met him near the 02 know.
Billy-no-sccot

Actually, when I mentioned WM's Supermerkin, I forgot to ask Dessa if she had sorted her Superbra carrier out. There would be plenty of room for cheese in there....

Or am I just imagining one of our inebriated conversations that didn't actually happen?

OK Last time of asking - The GT200 is going to have it's front end straightened tomorrow morning and after that I'm going to take it for a long ride to get used to it so if anyone is around and knows of a good place to meet up tell me know.
Much Love Billy-no-place

And who is straightening it? Or are you chickening out again?

Oh I paying a nice gentleman to do it mainly because he has a long straight edge and I don't. I'm not going to do it by eye.
Billy-no-scoot

i'm fine for having my photo thanks all the same... i dont like it and very rarely allow cameras to be pointed in my direction, its a clint eastwood syndrome i have

i'm getting a bit scared by this flirting talk

I wouldn't let it worry you. As long as I am around Bill will be quite distracted....

I promise not to point a camera at you. (How did Genie manage to catch you unawares at the campsite?)
