Hi All, I thought I'd start a new thread, so we could let each other know what we've been upto, in a scootering kinda way. Please feel free to post anything to do with your scootering day here. The more the better . Thank you for playing .
Here's mine to get the ball rolling
... Having a "oh sh!t" moment and getting laughed at by my mate? johnnymarr, for starting a new thread in the wrong place, on this scooter forum, which was nice lol

today ive mostly been swearing at my boss ,a fellow scooterist , for going away an neglecting to teach anybody how to use the fancy till to print invoices . in a more scootering line ive used the spare/wasted time to work out how to get the pk sprinter to the garage ,remove the spanish gs160 an deliver to a mate whilst removing his gp200 to his dads to make space .then back to garage to get 50spesh to go in for cabling/assembly in front room ,soon as mates 12volt converted 50s japanese one goes outside for fuelling an checking .its like musical chairs or chess ,ya got to be thinkin 2-3 moves ahead . oh, an chattin to a mate who wants to convert a series 2 LI into a open frame model d racer ,because an i use his words "it will really make the purists spin-out" . now thats a project i'll get onboard with n do cheap , just to get blamed for the monstrosity.H

Today I have been recovering from: 2 c**ktail martini 1 manhattan 1 glass of champagne
Still not making sense, I went on eBay looking for "vespa px" in "scooter and motorcycles accessories", condition filtered to "used", sorting: "newly listed" in order to find anything I could buy to finish my restoration ( onepieceatatime.tumblr.com) then ate pasta with mushrooms and parmesan cheese, had an espresso, and now feeling sorry for my stomach. All before starting celebrating again in 3 hours from now. My Vespa is far from where I am but I whish it and all of you, the best 2017!

BEEN thinking of clearing my shed My side panels are hanging on hooks,,, if I fit them on the scoot,it won't fit In the shed. Way to much stuff in there. But between the escort and Vespa just to many odds n ends,,and might,(might ) need that bit later So hope someone has a big sale on sheds,in the Glasgow area,,then scooter gets a new house to itself

kinda lost for words mate, hard time for you all...as you say "feck sake". i thought i'd had a bad run of health starting with a brain injury and the consequences of that but you're news puts that into perspective... like the idea of the broken scooterists club All the best

Hi, thats good news about yer pals...the frame sounds like a nightmare to say the least, just lay off the special forces approach.If the guy can strip a scoot etc then he will mebbe be known around the local clubs / area..i would be on their facebook pages looking for the guy and asking around / telling them to look out for the guy....ya never know btw how much did he pay? All the best
