Yep.
£16 a month to insure the fucker. Pricey little cunt. Haven't taxed it yet. I'll do that in the morning.
50 miles now and it's parked up in the garden. Had a good blast up the coast road. With a hellish headwind I got to 65mph before I had to brake. It felt very settled at 60. I can't really read the speedo. The big white writing is kmh and the small red writing is mph. I wonder if I can get an overlay.

Can't find my cbt. I had it the other day and can't remember where I put it. I reckon there's six months left on it.

I won't be able to see distance wearing glasses. That's slightly more important when out and about.

My gay, Italian teacher mate reckons they're called vespa not because of the sound but because they look like a wasp from a birds eye view. I always thought is was because of the sound of the two stroke.
This is an lc four stroke. Very civilised with abs and fuel injuection! I think the abs is shit though I locked the rear wheel earlier pissing about. Unless the abs is just for the front wheel.
