Scooterotica

a day of mixed emotions for me today....
earlier this year a good friend of mine colin bathe passed away,when his wife said all his scooters were to be sold i just knew i had to have his dl200,so i asked to be considered when the time came.So i was very pleased to be told that colin wanted me to have this ,i gave enough hints when he was still alive that i just loved this scooter.
So today i rode home on' colins' scooter,a grin from ear to ear,but inside ,well, felt a little odd
I spent many a mile trying to keep up with him when he was riding this,it was bought by him in italy on one of his many trips there many years ago,and restored to his exacting standards,the engine was given a 'tweak' by bob white,colins brief was it had to look standard,but be fast and reliable,and it is both!!

Nice story,
rest assured your pal Colin will have been with you today and smiling with you lovely scooter

He also had a really nice mk1 red T5. Hope that went to a good home too,that was a lovely machine.

i bet he was watching from above mate and pleased at where it ended up

Sad story indeed but at least it went to one of his mate`s who`ll cherish it.

wow ...

Very nice scooter. Will look nice in the garage with that SX your no longer selling.
I know what you mean about mixed emotions. Ive had that kind of day as well.

i guess that must feel odd ...the joy that you wanted it so long and got it ...but the fact it was your mates scoot ...that would take a while to get arround ..

I'm sure you'll cherish it as he did. Beautiful looking scoot.

Fantastic Story, gorgeous Scooter

is there anything better than a Shining Ochre GP 200?, just looks so elegant............
