We were inspired by the couple we met at John o groats on the Spacy .It was a mate of Jaz off C90 forum and his girlfriend they live in Thurso she has disabilities has to neck 21 pills a day to keep going yet jumped on back of a Spacy which he had bodged a bantam exhaust on and was flippin loud .They rode 20 miles to meet and had already been touring top of Scotland on it .They sat on Jaz's Helix which would suit them better so Jaz is going to try find one for him .Mean time he's sending him some bits to enable him to fit a Helix exhaust on the Spacy as it uses a different exhaust hanger .She was a lovely girl sat in the ice cream shop just chatting away .Its my third time to John o groats 2nd time on scooter first time Ive done the whole run from Lands end .

Another inspiration was the Vespa GT200 with me on its like being 2 up but took every thing in its stride slowed up on a few hills but kept going .I think its a bit faster now than before I started its had that much fuel sucked thro the carb. :lol: :lol: :lol:

More likely a bit of carbon blown out the exhaust.

Finally arrived home in Brixham after an amazing journey that's taken us from lands end to John O'groats and back to Lands End! Done an incredible 2,280 miles from start to finish, and despite being completely knackered, we've enjoyed every minute. Can't wait to see what you come up with next Pikey, but count me in lol! :kiss:

Considering this was her first ever trip, she's done amazing!
Think she deserves more than a medal? I was thinking more of a Burgman 650 executive! :? For me lol! :lol:
