Friday turtle

Anyone else tempted by the G shock Bamford?
I ordered one , it could be good .
I know it will be slated as a bit naff , but I love that baby blue anyway .

The chase is half the fun

That’s brilliant.. and arguably greener

Doesn’t ANPR fine you in the central zone then ?

Thanks , I’ve yet to connect my phone to it , but the TFT screen is actually very clear and bright

Spot on

Here now

I think I read the 2 strokes are banished in central zone unless you pay the cc.
This is euro 4 , euro 5 this year I think so I guess a few years before 4 will get pulled .

It was my recent trip to Italy and the hiring of a scooter for a couple of days which prompted my purchase .

Well 40 years ago after my Honda camino(?) i had a Vespa rally 200 .
Tomorrow I pick up a 125 sprint S.
They are quite in demand I am told due to the uptick in scooter sales , the sensible buy was a medley.. great storage , bigger wheels , value for money etc .The Vespa got bought on kerb appeal I guess .
It has a square ish head lamp which reminds me more of a Lambretta and a TFT screen which will be interesting but not as pretty as the analogue version .
3valve engine air cooled I think not the 4 valve water cooled and it’s in the small frame .
I’ll post pics tomorrow.
The dealership was full of 125 motor bikes the size of 500’s that really looked the part and he had one of the very good looking Royal Enfield twins , interceptor?which he said was the UK’s best seller atm

Not sure about these.
Can it save Aston ?

So i finally took the plunge , I managed to get a reasonable quote for insurance and have started my 2 wheel motorised comeback with a Vespa .
Hopefully I’ll pick it up Wednesday

Back fron Italy quarantine now and I learnt Pizza in Rome , huge contrast to Naples .
Way thinner and crispier , apparently they add olive oil to dough to stretch it thinner .
And no real crust at the edge ... eyes say neopolitan taste says roman.

Love that

As I rented a 125 , I was considering a 125 Liberty .. cheap £2399 new .
I’m 57 , off street parking on drive in west London .
Insurance was £480-760 that’s nuts , I know I’ve not ridden for a while but my 916 ( that dates me)cost less .Thats saying no to all the naughty stuff but crucially my no claims expired years ago , that can’t help .
It might work out at 50p A mile .
It makes a whimsical purchase a tad spendy .
I guess because they get stolen a lot ?
My neighbour ( younger ) pays £130.
Perhaps I’ll give it a miss , it has cooled my jets somewhat

That’s was my conclusion too , but they look to be Not as bad as I thought .
When you factor in 24 month warranty for the cost of these things it’s seems so cheap .
But buy cheap , buy twice I guess

Are those Chinese / Taiwan scooters at half the price , half the scooter .
AJS ones are amazing value , but surely the quality can’t be as good .

Yes the SH is the other in the frame , the rental was a kymco which was impressive tbh but the style of the Vespa is classic , buts not as practical .
2 channel abs on these 125’s .
Very clever bits of kit .
Storage impressive too .
The bigger wheels must smooth out our rough roads as well .
The dealer says stock everywhere is low .

I rented a scooter in ischia last week and had a ball , 2 up on a 125.
Thinking I f buying one, had a Vespa 200 rally 40 years ago, then got into bikes .
Punted off my 916 ( by my neighbour) aboutv18 years ago , road cycling since .
Tempted by a scooter because of practicality ,visited a showroom today and fella warns me off a 300 cc because yhey gat stolen a lot more ... is that true ?
I liked the medley 125 tbh but a 300 Vespa appeals
