Hello!
Also do you reckon Bike dealers are struggling at the mo? My local Piaggio/aprillia/vespa place has hardly any scoots in where as before it used to have a good chunk dedicated!

I think everyone is struggling at the mo.

Roger Barretts in Poole seems to have moved to Castle Lane in Bournemouth, maybe downsizing. The shopfront sign caught my eye, then a day or two later I passed the closed-down shop where they used to be the next day, and it clicked!

Think you've hit the nail on the head there, they are classing maxis as toys like bikes instead of practical economic transport for the masses as on the Continent.

Too true, Bazza.
There is a definite increase in trolling on here, which has changed the whole tone of the forum, unfortunately.

I'm on here every day but have nothing to talk about regarding maxi scoots.
Plus you're all day-glo nobbers!
