Firstly a thanks to all you guys (and gals) on here for your excellent advice on all sections of the forum, I have learnt so much already.
The question I have is more a matter of opinions but here goes........
I have a 2001 PX125 and while most of it is standard I do have a back-rest/spare tyre rack but my question is, I like the look of Florida Bars/footrest but have been put off by a number if comments that it will look cr@p, it's not worth it on a 'newish' scooter and they should only be fitted on 'done-up' older scoots etc etc etc.
What's your thoughts? The scooter is the one in my profile pic by the way.

I think loon was holding back a bit to be honest, your scoot, your rules. I've got Mickey Mouse ears on mine (hand covers on the bars, handmade because the set I bought were for a non disc model) and mine is a 2006 56 plate PX. You only have one person to please, that's yourself. If we were all the same, it would be sh*t. Really sh*t. You get the drift..... Loon E, you'll get splinters if you carry on sitting on the fence.....

I agree with the guys above. Do what you like to your scooter, it's yours.
I like cutdowns and 80's style fullframes loads of people don't like them and that's fine. If they try tell me what to like or do, they can get tae f*ck.
Ride free.👊

Thanks for your time and opinions fellas, much appreciated.
scooterg, I think you're safe, the ride from Maidstone, Kent to Glasgow might be a tad too far to pick you up.
I just know how snobby some scooterists can be, I had a mate that wanted to join a Lammy club and they said no because he didn't have the standard seat!! wtf?
That's it then, my scoot, my rules. Thanks again guys.

Thanks again guys. There's a local scooter club near me, they hated mine because the paint was rough and I hadn't spent 1000s of pounds on mirrors and chrome sh*t.... Was with my mates at a meet of theirs and one of my mates overheard that one of the club members were going on a "long ride"... We politely asked where to, they said Spalding to Grantham. I quietly supped my pint, while my mates p*shed theirselves laughing, pointing at me.... I did that trip 6 days a week for work through rain sh*t and snow... They never invited me back!!!!!😆😆 |
