i am toying with the idea of buying a 50cc scooter to get to and from work while the road is shut in athy, any advice on whats the best etc much appreciated, it wont be a new one that i buy just a run about

Boltys your man but you'll have to buy a matching wardrobe and record collection!

Get a Singer sewing machine and stick 2 wheels on it, you'll have more power

Can you not do what every other fucker round here does and ride an off-road bike around, without a care in the world?

You're looking at sneaking through the barricade at Marlborough Rd aren't you, eh, eh?

im toying with the idea or getting something dart like a Kawasaki Er-5, might be a bit more fun that my scooter

 

its a sym 125 and does about 110 to gallon, but beig six three i'm possiblya bit big for it

Two birds, one stone.

 

Hahahaha like it

 

 

No fooking need for that at all J

 

Athywhite, not sure of the rules up there now. Down here they can ride one of those God awful Tupperware rice burners on a car licence but it has to be an auto. Same up there or can you ride a manual?

 

If the latter, FFS, spend the money and get summat made from steel with some real style. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Vespa SS50.

 

 

 

 

How much better than a Vietcong plastic monstrosity is this? Like comparing Cheryl Cole to Agnes Sidebottom.

Just being silly now. Scooters were designed to protect your good clothes. Lawn mowing in a Dormeuil Tonik suit? FFS, be serious.

Bolty Sir,

 

While we're on your specialist subject;

 

I'm living in Thailand and want to get myself a decent scooter. It's all honda clicks and finos out here so I'd like summat a bit different. BUT, I've got no mechanical nous whatsoever, and I can't imagine there's much in the way of vespa spares on the island (samui), or 'mechanics' who would know what to do with em. What would you recommend?

 

Ta in advance!

good choice, as you've said before, my ER5 is beltin', having said that I am looking for summat a bit bigger

What kind of lazy cunt would have a scooter lawnmower?

If you've never been on a bike/scooter before you can get a free lesson, I had one last week on a 125. Go to geton.co.uk

year old chines3 125 can be had for less than 400 quid use for a year and sell on losing about 100 quid ..unless you take boltys advise and spend 5 grand on the vespa

ya can buy em brand new from esb for less than a grand with warrenty etc the chinese ones not the vespa

Don't buy chinese. Bag of shit. Your better if with a pug sym etc.

Even though the erudite Hillofdaub seems to be pissing on my chips, I think he'll agree that you can't go wrong with a PX. Bomb proof. I'd wager there is some mechanic on that island who is familiar with them.

 

Hillofdaub - 5K for a 50SS Mate of mine here has just picked up a 90SS from NZ for 3k Aussie. Good nick too. Flocks of SS90's in NZ.

What's 3k Aussie nowadays? ?2k?

What's 3k Aussie nowadays? 28p?

I can remember the Barmy Army singing 'we get three dollars to a pound'. Now it's halved. FFS.

 

Still, I spend up big style when I come home to Blighty

Every cloud, P, every cloud...

Cheers pal.

 

Some elementary googling tells me there's nowhere to buy them on the island and there doesn't seem to a dealer in the country.

 

Honda click it is then!!!!
