So its scooter weekend in whitby this weekend and there must be about 500 of the little things buzzing around. now although they have made me slightly light headed from sniffing 2 stroke fumes all day long they are just plain annoying. Have spoken to a few decent people who owned them today but as for the bikes they just really pee me off
And they are not exciting to ride nor fast.Unless you have a racing one stripped of course.Definately not my cup of tea either.
Although i have not been invaded around here i have quite a soft spot for them ,never had one but i like the fact and very similar to us on here you have dudes enjoying there hobby, but with (no doubt) loads of of interaction on buying and selling anything from Parkers to mirrors ,must be fun .
I have a few of them at the pub across the road from time to time, I hate the bikes but to be fair any two wheel enthusiast has my vote these days.
Yes there must be some appeal to it and i do really like looking at some of the modded ones almost as much as i like looking at bikes as some of them are really cool and must be worth quite a lot of money im dont hate the scooter scene as i got talking to quite a few of the owners but they just dont do it for me
Prefer blasting past the little rich c*nts in scoobys and evos thinking they are it. Yeh now your looking real smug in my mirrors
Nothing like that round here just astra diesels. the odd unmarked M5 when the posh cops fancy some chips
Going past scooters in as high a gear as possible so the bike sounds angry as it goes by is fun. I've got a bit of a soft spot for them too. I like the way they act in groups like they're on something like ours, and when they pull up beside you at the lights revving their tits off and staring at you through their illegal visors. Just for that moment, they truly believe it just might be their day. They remind me of Jack Russels screwing out a Rottweiller.
Wassup you lot of miserable gits, leave 'em alone, they enjoy their mode of two wheel transport so good luck to them. Truth be known, I always wanted one back in the early sixties, chrome bubbles gave me wood. Unfortunately, nothing gives me wood nowadays
Nothing wrong with scooters, I spent my formative years at the end of the 60's on an SX 150. Very advanced - single sided swing arm, mono shock, forced cooling, some even had disc brakes. Easy to tune, work on, customise and crash. You got to start somewhere.
I dont ride a scooter and not into vespa's and all that but I do ride a zip50 moped most days to get around town on funny when I turn up places and get pushed out tye way by sportsbike riders who watch you take your lid off thinking look at this little bald twat whos just going to start working on my bike...lol some treat me like right old mud coz of the zip but want to change there tune when you hop on best part of 30 grands worth of fireblade.... Funny that..... You never know who may be riding what....
