Pictures we do love pictures. And for us that do not know what some of those bikes metioned were please lable. I am trying to get up to speed on the different scoots and such so when someone mentions a T5 I have some idea what they are talking about. Razz emoticon

Welcome to MV, we talk about any scoot modern or vintage. I love seeing them all.

Welcome again (already greeted Simon on the NSM Forum)

How about having a Cheeky Northern Monkey's Scooter Club team compete in Greece next May? Would be a grand time.

T5 classic
Delboy & Uncle albert are painted murals that I had done a few years back.The main colour is called Hot rod sparkle,which really sparkles at night under some lights.
As for the restoration on the T5 & VW I did a lot of the work,rebuilding etc myself, but the paint I had done by some guys that I use.
I will get some pics of my Rally 200, Lambretta LI & GTV soon.

Nice 21 window! You really went the distance on the resto. You don't see many people pulling the panels off over here.
