I want a scooter, am I sick?

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

My cousins (two sisters) both ride scooters and are into the Northern Soul scene, they regularly post (before c19) weekends away on the scooters to all night events. It looks like a good scene and a lot of fun.

I'm not sure I fancy the haircut, but I think wizzing around the lanes on a scooter would be fun.

My sister is into Northern Soul, I think she's bought another Vespa, I know she was going to Northern Soul nights in Wigan (she now lives near Preston) before Covid

I've only ridden a few at my mates old bike shop when popping out for errands but I like em, they are good fun and convenient . If I could justify one in the garage for the odd run to the shops/commute I would.

In fact a lot depends on what happens post Covid, by the end of this I'll have been WFH full time for probably a year to 18 months so I'll be pushing for maybe 1 possibly 2 days a week in the office max. If that was the case I'd consider a scoot and only have 1 car in the family.

Scooters I've ridden

1983 Vespa 100 - nice handling, weird gear change, very slow
1985 Vespa PX125 - not very nice handling, weird gear change, slow
Lambretta 150 of unknown year - went about 200yds and it broke down

I'd much rather have a small motorcycle or a Honda stepthrough

We used to go fishing off the pier in Wigan

I have been past it on a narrow boat.

Wigan Pier was demolished 90 years ago, you two are old.

Woooooooosh.

No, I was being deliberately facetious, I know it's an area of Wigan where a coal pier used to be.

I didn't have a scooter but I did used to go sometimes for the ska music.

Bet that was special.

It wouldn't actually shock me if that's you.

Some great detective work there Weeksy, is it the suit?

It's the suit isn't it...
