2 stroke lunacy

Sure are - goes like manure off a highly polished shovel around town. They quote a better 0-60 time than a Subaru Impreza (5 seconds) which I can vouch for having ridden it :twisted: Top fun, but things do get a bit hairy on M-ways at over 70mph, when the tiny wheels and basic suspension really kick in.

Hit a dead fox in the road on the way back up to DWR, after it appeared with f*** all warning from the arse end of a coach I was following. The scooter took off and felt like it lept about 2 foot in the air! - bit of a pampers moment
