Hi Mr Timborine, sorry TamperIain,
Many thanks for you most eloquent thoughts on my degeneration into "scootersville" well thats my name for it
Trust me, I have NO intention of scooting along the A47, however, due to the crawling pace of the A17 I will have time to assemble my Scoot and go for a a jolly along it. My wife and sister in law, can drive the car and catch me up once the traffic jam has been reduced. Sadly in real life, that is but a pipe dream, as Scoot aint allowed to wheech along on roads, pavements for me, so to use a Forum members type remark "Get AFF my pavements!"
I would love to be the owner of a woodie broads cruiser, one though that aint five feet off the ground at the bow, my days of lowping of cruisers is but a distant memory.
I have a cunning plan if I meet up with Uncle Alert in his Zimmer, as yet the plan is still up in the grey cells of my pea sized brain. It was a bigger brain, but has shrunk dramatically since retirement!
I was not intending to bring Scoot to Norfolk, but as he disassembles into bits n pieces, he I am sure, would love the flat lands there. Not decided yet if he will venture down or not though.
As a well known yorkie on here would say, anyroadup Scoot is here to stay. It was so bracing and invigorating yesterday down at the Seafront in my home town of Ayr. Going one way was brill, the return trip was a rather wateryeyed affair.
Tim, I really do appreciate your concerns, but I have held back for over two years to buy one. The dastardly deed has been done. So lock up yer friends and family. The Scots Scooter Scoot is here to stay!
Iain
P.S. Like all famous and infamous racing drivers, I will be available for Scoot AutoGraphs in early May on the Broads.
