Modern Vespa

Scrotes.

Wait for a million parking tickets and bus lane fines. Get something in writing from the DVLA to deal with it.

i've just rung the DVLA. as long as i can provide a crime report number (which i can) any offenses relating to a PTW other than my GT200, bearing my license plate, will be dismissed.

Unusual for one of those to go phutt. Any idea what caused it to fail?

Yes, leaving my heated grips on for a week after we went to Spider's

Naughty Alice for not wiring them to an 'engine running happily' feed.

Glad to know there's a sensible reason though!

A certain dealer wired them to the battery. I wasn't going to give them any more money to fix what they done, though now I will be giving money to somebody else to do it.

That reminds me, I'm going to Belgium at the weekend. Will the Continental Effect kick in and make the headlight bulb blow yet again?? I'm going to Lidl on my way home to stock up, just in case.

Going somewhere nice Alice ?

I'm sorry to hear about the plate Genie. At least you did the right thing by alerting the DVLA.

If you can get the documents to me before the weekend I can get the plate made up on Monday when I get back from Spa.

Still bloody annoying though.

Arse.

i'll go in to scootech on tuesday and get a new one made. maybe they can do a custom colour

had a very nice ride home, with no interruptions by Plod. off to Toronto tomorrow for a conference so may not be on much until next week.

good thing about losing your plate .. you can get away with speeding tickets for a while .. lol lol lol ..

got me 300 out of the shed this morning ... washed and polished .. just might give it a go later ... they may knock me down but they cant keep me off it .... roll on next summer

My morning pleasantness today was that some scrote(s?) pushed over my hire scooter last night. It would have taken a bit of effort too, as it was chained to a ground anchor.

Some scratches on the exhaust, and the right mirror stem needed to be bend back to position, but otherwise unscathed.

By (no) coincidence, looking at flats anywhere else tonight.

<sigh>

Basturts. Have you not already moved this year or am I mixing you up with someone else?

Hopefully that's that game out of their systems in time for the new scoot arriving.

Bromley suddenly seems like a really really nice place to live, say I touching wood.

Got my Lidl headlight bulbs and some Nougat Pillows, the crack cocaine of breakfast cereal and probably just as good for you as the real thing.

Bill, no, I should think I'm off to have a thoroughly miserable time and get rained on

Not moved yet. Looking around a fair chunk of SE london at the minute.

The Brockley/Forest Hill region seems to be the designated Nice Bit. It's where the people who can't afford Dulwich cluster.

Se1 is where it's at. Come to lovely Borough. The natives are friendly, or at least we are.

The current search area is SE{4,22,23}. Looking in 22 tonight, and trying to arrange something for {4,23} early next week.

Hammersmith is the reason I have all those towel rails on the GTS.

It would take too long to describe some of the extreme crap that has happened on our doorsteps in the last six months, but put it this way. If you think someone you know has a drink problem, take them to Hammersmith for a possible future career.

Ditch Londinium for the burbs..... 8)

Hammersmith IS the 'burbs

Jesus no. Burbs are boring.

Hammersmith has a long way to go before it gets boring. Every day, there is a new event to flabber my ghast.

Huntingdons the burbs mate......cheaper houses and only 50 moins on the train! 8)

We moved out of inner London when mrs Kam was pregnant for the second time.

I was terrified at first but have actually never looked back. It helps that I still work in central london but it's calmer when I get home.

Wish I had a garage though. Was reading about James may's new garage in the telegraph - well jealous.

Just enjoying a quick pint in the pub before I meet friends for dinner. I'm early for once !

I've got a garage and room for 4 Scooters.......and a cupcake.

Bill XX

bastard!

You are welcome to come and look at it any time you like Kam.

It's dry and warm and ..........

Alice I'm going to stick my neck out and say that the forecast for the weekend in Belgium looks dry. Dammit that's done it.

Bill XX

Wonders, don't move to the Burbs, it is hell out here! OK we have garages and gardens, but the rest is pretty shit.

Bill, you've done it now. If it pees down now you are going to be an unpopular fellow.

Potential Skoks, I know we have a few new people reading this thread recently, well if you are in UK you may want to check out this thread: UK - Help For Heroes Charity Ride Newbies are welcome.

i need this, any more details

It's Spa so it will rain. It always does at one point but there are plenty of Grandstands to hide in when it does.

I can't bloody wait to get there.

Bill X

Looks like we might be blessed with the occasional shower but no worse. *packs waterproofs, pac-a-mac and Cath Kidston umbrella with little doggies on*

Thinking of popping over here perhaps, in my quest for new and exciting kit:

Maver, these are the little blighters. Imagine Oat Krunchies filled with Nutella. Beware crunchy corners that can make your mouth bleed if bitten incautiously. Available from your local lidl.co.uk.

that's very brave of you alice if they don't give you short term tissue damage they'll kill you with coronary heart disease or tooth decay.

i'm in toronto there is a bit of snow falling. my hotel room is on the 14th floor and i can see for miles.

the best thing, however, is that i am right across the street from the shoe museum.

You heard it here first: tooth decay kills!

i shall bear that in mind whilst eating my crack cocaine breakfast cereal, spoon in one hand, filterless roll up ciggy in the other, life in the fast lane

Surely make you lose your mind. Everything, all the time.

agree with that less i couldn't indeed more and with cheese, blast these crack nuggets are incredible right up there with badger fisting

You can fist a Badger ? Well I never ! Is that on the Wiki ?

Why do those Bastards always go on strike each time I want to cross the channel ?

Each and every time I plan to take a little boat over it all goes to shit.

Sorry I've got the hump.

Alice I'll see you on the other side.

Bill XX

Oh God, it'll be wolf-bagging next, this is going downhill...

wolf bagging. I haven't heard that for a long time....
