Hello Scooter People. I live in Edinburgh but work a lot in London. I've been using Boris bikes to get around town but got to thinking I could do with something a bit nippier.... So....A couple of weeks ago I bought a 125 TS from Scooterworks in Bermondsey. I expect if I'd hunted around I could have got one cheeper but the guys there were really helpful, especially Eugene who tried to convince me that a 40 year old Vespa may not be the most practical means of everyday transport. I've wasted large amounts of time (and money) on Lancias and have an ancient camper van which requires diesel to be squirted into its fuel pump with a fairy liquid bottle as part of the starting ritual so I was not going to be put off. I'm totally loving the scooter. It's scrappy but I kind of like it like that although I expect in the end I won't be able to resist the temptation to take it to pieces and tidy it up. I rode it in London for a few days. Had my daughter on the back nipping round Trafalgar Square in a gale..! her first experience of two wheeled motorised transport! Brought it Up to Scotland in the works van at the weekend and have been using it the last couple of days for 20 mile commute to work. It cuts a good half hour off each way which is rather excellent. I expect I'll have some techy questions, but for now...... Hello. Attachments:
