Horses for courses.I had a couple of scooters in the late 80s and then had loads of quick bikes over the years.Ive still got a Ducati scrambler and a 1978 kawasaki z900 and haven't road either in 2years the z900 probably 5years.The scooters are a bit of fun and even on mine which are fairly quick Im unlikely to loose my licence wheras when I rode bikes regular I was risking my licence and my health everytime I went out.What bikes have you got? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ive still got some old 80's clobber up in the loft just as keepsakes, we had a 80's based party about 10 years ago i got the old Fila BJ trackie top out someone offered me a bullseye for it on the spot couldnt do it though all them old garms hold special memories. As for all that shit Cp/Stone Island gear it always cracks me up these modern day footie lads wearing that when it all comes up 3 sizes too small and only midgets and skinny little wretches can even get in it ! Jesus dressing up in that gear now would be just as bad as having a silly Paul weller haircut and parka or dressing as a skinhead in your 50s/60s ok if youre going to a fancy dress party.As for East End boys and West end girls,I think you need to give your favourite Pet shop Boys CD a rest mate. And as for Cp/Stoney being too small.Not everyone gets fat and out of shape once they get past 40. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
