Scooters are on the rise....

[wasted_ace]

More two wheeled riders on the road the better.. but agreed.. many reckless scooter riders represent the "****tier" end of motorcycling >

Maybe it's different out in the sticks, but scooter riders are a bunch of ignorant bastards in London, they'll think nothing of jamming their ****ty hairdryer down the side of your bike scratching the paintwork and stopping you being able to get it of it's stand when you come back to it.

Nooj, they said the same about us back in the Seventies when we sreamed up and down on our beloved Fizzies

Oh what fond memories 8-)

Blimey Ken, that's just like my old Fizzy (except it's shiney with no dents).

There's a forum for scooters now, but I think it's aimed more at the scooterist, www.scootercommunity.co.uk

Mark ... that Fizzy was at the ExCel show. It was brand new with only 0.3 of a mile on clock ... so pristine condition and looked great.
I'd have thought must be worth £5k or even more now ????????

Sorry Mark hope you didn't think that was mine. I Wish it was. You never forget your first ride

Is funny hearing the complaints about scooters.....

Em comes home after riding her scoot moaning about the Biker that cut her up on a roundabout or can't wait to do a correct overtake so just skims past doing high speed.

Jon, generally speaking, whether a football fan, politician or biker, many of us for much of the time wear rose tinted glasses and only see things in our own little world.

The football fan only sees bad refereeing decisions made against the team he follows.

The politician only sees faults in his/her counterparts from other political parties.

The biker only sees irresponsible riding/driving from road users of other modes of transport.

In the words of a man of wisdom, the great Scottish Bard, Robert Burns:

“Oh, that God the gift would give us
To see ourselves as others see us”

My comments are merely an observation of life.

[Jon_W]

Oh so true. That is the point I was making.

Was not a pop at you Ken. As road users we shold all take care of each other.

[redken1]

No not at all Jon. I was in full agreement with you. Whether we like it or not, we all have to share the roads on this tiny island

Awww Bless the old Fizzy. Brings back happy memories.
