Sold that little cycle with a so called engine in yet? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
No I haven't, smart-arse!!
The scooter in the avatar isn't mine (sadly), saw it at a rally. Mine is parked out the back, and if the weather picks up, I'll be riding it, at up to 45mph(!!!!), to work tomorrow without a shred of embarassment. So fun you, and the horse you rode in on!!

You know when you live in 2012 and a horse is an massive upgrade to your transportation summat hasnt gone quite as planned :mrgreen:
I'll admit - I once owned a Lambretta LI 150, when I was 17.
Even back then, the Leeds buses were notorious for not running on time or not even showing up . I needed a cheap way to get to work on the other side of Leeds from where I lived. Mate of mine only wanted £50 for it, so deal done. Was a fun thing to ride tho. Was great for getting fish and chips home warm as well, as the tool box space was under the seat and above the engine! Popped them in there and rode home to Bramley from my fave chippy in Headingley, on many a night
I sold it to pay for my 1st electric guitar and amp...which in turn I sold to buy a proper motorbike.

That's a classic scooter, much respect Twiggs Still cheap as chips to run (£7 fill as opposed to £75 for my motor), haven't tried the keeping the takeaway warm business yet, but will
I'm choosing to ignore the 'proper motorbike' line

Had to google "soup nazi". No wonder people are so dumbed down these days, with the likes of Sienfield and Frasier etc - as so called "entertainment" on tv. FFS!
