Ian Iβm also in Glasgow And summer was last Monday and lasted the full day Was the bank holiday you must have missed it I'm in Kent so guess we get a little more sun than you. Not that you'd know it today cos once again it's p!ssing down. I've had about 40 minutes out on it since getting it finished, wasn't allowed out for bank holiday, had to do my chores ;-) so praying for sun sometime soon. Hope you get some fine weather too mate. Ride safe fella.

im liking your blue caliper and matching spring. Did you you paint them yourself? Did you use special paint? Looks nice mate Thanks mate I found a nice blue enamel in Halfords. Just called Engine Blue. It was a bit of a trial really and actually came up better than I expected.

Hey, I've got a 2001 PX125 and I'm happy. Welcome aboard mate, there is a wealth of knowledge on here (very little from me though).

Welcome aboard mate. There is plenty of knowledge on here, sadly though none from me ;-) Seriously though, I have found out so much since being on here, couldn't even change a bulb before now my scoot is stripped down having a complete over-haul.

Mij, I am thinking of you mate, for what it's worth. I've lost family members to this dreadful disease and my best best mate to a brain tumour some 8 years ago but I still shed a tear for him now and again. I still raise a glass to him on his birthday too. Try and remember all the good times and don't let the bad times win. Good on you for being there for his family, god bless ya.

Welcome aboard mate, I have a PX125 as well though it took me many years to get the missus to agree with me getting one, bit of a mid-life crisis she thinks. Enjoy it and make use of the many experts on here if you have any questions, I've learned a lot from these guys. Good luck and ride safe ;-)

Henri, I agree with the comment about not being able to listen to songs again especially if it was someone real close. My best mate passed away aged at the ripe old age of 36 and his parents chose Bring Me Sunshine by Morcambe and Wise and then Always Look On The Bright Side of Life. Breaks my heart to hear them now which is horrible because they are great songs. Anyway when I do shuffle off I would have - In - The Fields of Anfield Road During - Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks Out - Brand New Start by Sir Paul of Weller
Kinda corny but I'll not care will I?

Clearly Sussex didn't have quite the same attraction as Naples, can't see why ;-)

Today.... I got offered a good deal from my mate, a complete PX disc dropped headset bottom, top, speedo,grips, disc reservoir, and levers etc, for Β£130 and he's letting me pay him up! waiting on him texting me, that he's had his tea and going up to pick it up and give him Β£80 oot my piggy bank( that my wife doesn't know about π), he says don't mention money in front of his wife, when I go up as he doesn't want her knowing anything about it lolπ, think most of us have been thereπ. Mijπ I have to agree with you, sad to say I also have a little 'pocket money'. Ideal for the time I got my mate to buy something on my behalf for Β£80 and then him ring me and 'ask' if I wanted some stuff that a guy from his scooter club was selling for Β£20. All that just to keep the peace. ;-)

Hi and welcome, I must say there is an enormous amount of knowledge on here. Sadly, very little from me ;-)
