Had the pleasure and privilege of meeting fellow white and scooterist Wackerchackers today at a joint Paradise Lost Scooter Club/Lambretta Club of Australia run to a fine pub called the Rose & Crown at Guildford, Swan Valley. Only 38 scooters today but hey, you can't have everything. We'll be back up to full strength next run when everyone is back from summer holidays.

 

What a top feller with a lovely wife. Welcome here anytime.

Wackerchackers likes having his picture taken by the looks of things ::lol::

Very apt choice of t-shirt, Bolty.

 

Be sure to wear it on Wednesday.

Looks like an advert for hair dryers :whistle:

I can picture Louis Spence riding one of those scooters :pardon:

Bolty won't be impressed at you lot taking the piss out of those mopeds.

Are you utilising a full-face helmet as a side stand?

1) Traf - yes, the tee shirt will be worn on Wednesday and I'll really be wishing I was back with my own but it just can't be. Seemed appropriate to wear it today and you'd be amazed who came up and commented (nicely) about Nat. Included Yids, Hammers, Scousers, DMB's - all similar comments like 'Proper man when football was a mans game' etc. Widely respected.

 

2) B'met Boy - which one do you think is Wackerchackers? It will be me with the boner after riding this for the preceding hour:-

3) Athywhite58 - fcuk off, Rocker :D

 

4) Diddles. WTF would you know you spanner. Not sure who Louis Spence is but guess it's some sideswipe comment about some uphill gardener? You'd know. Italian scooters are far too cool for flat cap and clogs rapper to understand. Stick to what you know.

 

5) Traf - I have heard them all over the years. Nowt phases me on that score. Hairdryers; popcorn machines, mopeds - you name it. Usually from testosterone deficient knuckledraggers who think 150mph plus; splashes of oil and grease and clothes resembling those of Darth Vaders gimp are smart. For the umpteenth time I repeat, proper blokes are supposed to mount beautiful, curvaceous things - not masculine muscle bound stuff. Just think about it. Besides bikers, who else wears leather chaps, leather peaked caps etc? I point to one of the Village People and rest my case, m'lud.

Athywhite was brought up in a town full of greasers and supped in the Red Lion and a juke box blaring out heavy rock music with filthy wimmin sucking your cock under the table. I drank in the neighboring town, listening to motown, Where did i go wrong ?

You didn't. They were pigs with lipstick

1) Bogsy. Don't think I missed that jibe at my recent SEB Nando young man :D ;) Wackerchackers may have been in a state of excitement. He's only human. Suggs? As Madness are great favourites of mine, I shall take that as a compliment :good:

 

2) Sir Francis. Apologies, I thought you were a bloke. Many old dears still have Honda Melodys here and do their shopping on them. Do you blue rinse?

 

3) Hillofdaub. Thanks for answering Frandsen. Your advice would be far more relevant as you can't really line up relative pricing for the UK and Australian scooter markets. You are not far off for Australia with the TV200 stuff though. Your upper limit is on the money for what mine has cost me. Those stand teet are controversial! Loads love em here; plenty don't. They are from Chaspeed in the UK. Problem is that you have to shorten the stand to fit them so, they're staying for a good while! Don't like the standard ones with their tendency to twist; split; fray etc.

 

4) Leigh White, apart from the 'sucking your cock' bit, you came out on the plus side :D

Ta Bolty, i did manage it, off a rockerbilly girl. Beggers cant be choosers.

Knowing Wackerchackers a good few years, and going off his size I'd say Bolty is roughly the same size as Little Whitt :)

:huh: Well, in th'old money, I am exactly six foot. I must have got completely the wrong impression about Little Whitt.

 

Thowt he were a jockey.

If he was a jockey, he'd be the shortest of them.

So Breightmet Boy is on hallucinatory substances then?

If he was a jockey, he'd be the shortest of them.

 

He was a test tube baby, in fact he still goes to sleep in one.
