Hi I'm Al back into scooters after a 25 year hiatus.I last had a scooter back in 1986 a Li 175 that I spent my collage grant money on over the summer that year.After a few months graft I got it all finnished,apart from the mot and been a stupid git had a ride around the block to be taken out by a Austin allegro.The allegro won,I nearly lost my leg from the knee down.My old man then while in hospital sold it without me knowin.Having wanted another after so many years but with limited funds a friend of mine who had two vespas in his living room let me have one at a price I could not resist.Its a A plate Douglas P200 this had been off the road for 23 years in show room condition just needing a polish after been restored by his nephew who had had a small accident on it and taken it off the road. .Hopefully my photos have posted.Trying of iPhone.
