Re the seat: it isnt comfy, but I like it! Its inspired by Jeremys Dazzle one of the most original scooters ever, IMO. It was on the original which when I was thinner was very comfy. I went to loads of rallies on it, won best of show at Margate 1986, and a few other smaller trophies.

I built the first version when I was, but a boy of 16 years, smashed it up when I was 22, all that was left was the frame, did another one but sold it at 23, and now im back! I think Ive improved a liitle on the original, Its not for showing, its for me to ride, Im gonna go to a few rallies etc so I look forward to that, cant wait for the better weather.

i remember the original scooter well! looks good and the seat i really like; beats the boring "recover a cut back ancilotti "crowd. one thing that makes this original stand out was the block of writing on the left hand legshield within the pinstripe . i copied this many years ago for my bike "hard luck woman". hoping to post a few pictures of that GP sometime, similar layout to yours on Indian GP 200. so many nice "fantasy art" bikes built made the rallies of the time the exciting scene they were.
