yes, I do remember you mate, I knew who you where as soon as I saw the name. was down in gt yarmouth on the runner 3 weeks ago with work.
I still know whos who, but I just decided to chill out away from the current scooter scene to see if anything would come out of peoples idle chat about doing/ organising things.
seems I was right for most of the part!
done alot of riding..and I do mean alot, mostly solo, testing out scoots and kit for different parties, and had a nice trip around the uk last year.
got thousands of scooter pics of early auto days and of the runs, rallies and events I have been to if anyone is interested

Well on SWF I had that Pug Blaster, I traded that in for a new Piaggio X8 125 but after 10 months I passed the A2 Auto test so bought a Nexus 500 which must've had crappy tyres. 
The crash happened back in December and I bought a crappy wonderful Piaggio B125 for £250 last month off a guy on here who'd just bought a Nexus 500. |

You heard of Video Killed The Radio Star well I think internet has killed magazines! I still subscribe to TAG but that's more out of habit and because it's cheap - there's only enough in each issue to keep me occupied for 15 minutes and that's being generous. |

| I like the old twist n go, non of that shite chinky stuff, quads and the like, too much useless info now, needs to get back to basics! I would love to see more reports on the international scene. I.e other clubs, ride outs and meets, custom scene especially!

TAG magazine went downhill when they started featuring muppets with maxi scooters!
