Hi all 😊, I just bombed someone else's introduction thread to introduce myself so apologies for that and therefore here's my own....
Got into scoots at 12, got my 1st at 15, owned about 9 by 2007 (which is when I left), customs are my thang and I've owned a few: Clansmen, Dark Sceptre, Blood Sugar Sex Magik plus my own 50 Special with extended forks 👍
Currently looking for a P200e and clutching my chest and gasping for breath at the crazy prices that Scoots go for these days 😲

Hi, yes definitely!! Can't believe I sold my T5 for £850 and there's a joker on ebay who wants £5k for one😲😃
Pretty much all my Scoots were bought for under £500 - those were the days!!

Welcome My first PX was a three year old scoot with the engine in a tesco carrier bag £150 All it needed was a new barrel and piston  |

😁 yeah exactly, that's what it was all about! I remember being offered a running P2 rat With fizzy drink labels all over it - £20 😮
Guy probably just wanted some booze/drugs lol - same thing now would be £1k '\_("/)_/`

First lambretta cutdown I had I'd swapped it for an old video recorder worth about £50

Cutdown eh? Do people still dare to do that these days? Must be regarded as sacrilege! 😃

Don't see how they can add £3k+ just for some chrome and race decals |
