theyre all too shiney and too posey. what happened to legions of budget handpainted and held together with tape scooters owned by people who earn f@@k all. when quoted 1000 pounds to paint my Li150 i went to Halfords and quoted myself 50 quid. we should have a new class in the custom show called "REALISTICALLY OBTAINABLE" by your average skint dreamer :lol: ........... :(

only took a few photos,good weekend with good mates,took every spare part with me I could carry and thankfully didn't need to use any,just over 600 mile round trip.Saw a few sights that made me think "Oh dear",but live and let live,be pretty boring if we were all the same. Mines the rattle canned green and white SX on the ferry.

PS as a sidenote,they could do with sorting out the potholes in the roads,each time I've gone I think "feck me the road surfaces are shite on here"

I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.

Had a top weekend, fantastic company, a right laugh :D

However, can someone answer one question for me ? Just what does the fancy dress brigade think they're hoping to achieve ? Groups of guys drssed as cows on scooters, some dressed in Teletubby outfits, sorry, but WTF !? I can understand wanting to re-live your youth by wearing vintage clobber, be it old suits, parkas, leathers, bondage trousers, anarchy shirts etc.... perhaps someone could give me an insight into this phenomena ??

Yours in red trousers, and an Anarchy shirt, just call me Steve (fatty) Jones :D

Are you saying that one is more rediculous than the other??

Yes, I am....... enthusiasm for vintage clobber is one thing, but dressing up as poultry or swine is another..... don't you think ?

Nope.. fancy dress is fancy dress.

I'm more of a fan of the Trigger Happy animal costumes myself.

Everyone that gets dressed up in fancy dress knows that everyone else is laughing at them. They're laughing even more when the dresser gets uppity about it.

Fancy dress is funny.

Yep, with you on that one, fancy dress is fancy dress and yes it is funny, just don't see the connection with scooters personally. Ahh well each to their own eh ? :D
