Now I'm a scooterist am I still allowed in here?

Post by Dunxster »

A little late but hey ho.

Last year I traded my 2011 Versys 650 for a 2020 Yamaha Tmax 560. It was a lovely thing, less than 700 miles on the clock and a nice and fruity aftermarket exhaust on it too. In fact, it was so lovely that some scrot nicked it within two months of my owning it.

Fast-forward to February this year and after many phone calls and emails I finally got an insurance payout and promptly went and bought another TMax.

So can I still frequent this place now I'm a scooterist rather than a biker? I have noticed 'motorcyclists' ignore me on the road when I give 'em a nod now I'm on a scooter!

Tmax are bloody good for what they are. Perfectly reasonable choice for road riding I reckon

Those that know, nick them!
