Actually, I think I found it and it's not them.

Re: Vespa GTS 300
Sorry no not them I bought a lot of bikes from Newcombes when I lived that way.
It's this guy which I'm guessing (from looking in background) is Springfield round by the Asda.

Re: Vespa GTS 300
Good thought but SW stays and a mate has started a new job so is likely going to be borrowing it for a few weeks as he has to commute peak times to Chelmsford City (that never sits right with me)

Re: Vespa GTS 300
Its not Newcombes. That's not situated in a council estate.
I would of said its Gloucester Road in Moulsham. But some google maps says it isn't. Knowing Chelmsford I'm not sure its anywhere in Chelmsford. I'd say is either Basildon or Harlow. Certainly a private trader.

It's Whitmore Way in Basildon. I spotted that there was a pub nearby and the bus stop had the name Jolly Friar on it.

Re: Vespa GTS 300
Colchester Kawasaki are my local Peugeot dealer. They had some good deals when I looked over the latest Metropolis last year but I haven't yet ridden the latest version, but rode the earlier one. It was brilliant, plenty of power. It's one of the most powerful 400's out their and it showed. I'm told the new version is way better still and handles even better with the bigger wheels and stiffer frame.
Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'!

Re: Vespa GTS 300
I had a go on an MP3 about 2 years ago (from a company in Norwich, Moonraker?) — well, its different and doesnt like sleeping policemen bumps, it has more linkages to wear or go wrong, more expense on tires, king-pins etc; would I really want / need one at 81?
Prob not, as have five bikes already - coupled with an accute shortage of breath if I walk three car lengths!
Got taken into QE hosp at Lynn last week with shortage of breath, after x-ray and tests they said I have water on the chest and prescribed additional Frusimide tabs to clear it....also have seven stents following two heart attacks, probs of getting old eh?
Please God let me have my youth back.......so I can play and ride as I used to.
