I change my mind more often than a woman. I kind of went off it but riding home today in the lovely warm-ish sunshine I loved it again. Just been outside to wash it and I thought how could I part with it so soon?

Then again, the pull of the GT/GTS is strong but like I've mentioned above I've yet to find a bargain or even something remotely resembling a bargain.

Must admit I was tempted by a GT200.

They're quite rare, there's none on eBay and one on Bike Trader which is an '05 reg, 23,000 km's for £1900.

What put me off is how much they can rust from the inside.

hence the fact i use a zip in the winter

vespa is solid inside as i rubbed it down and painted it with silver hammerite when i bought it

need to do the bottom somehow though

havent used it for two weeks again as it has been cold/snowy/windy/wet

theres a gts on ebay for 1700 with best offer, not a bad price
