Funny you should say that, I was parked up along side a guy with one on the Pie run, he completed the run on his Capitano so they are not as rare as you might imagine.

Andrew is an official of the EACC, he may also be with the NACC but there is bad blood between the two clubs so I dont know. The bad blood is only between some of the officials, the rest of us dont give a monkeys! :D All we want to do is ride our mopeds.

Oh Richard, I was hoping I would never have to here that abomination for a song again. It was all the rage when I was a young barristers clerk working at the Temple in 1971/72. Followed closely by Tweedle dee tweedle dumb. Dumb being the operative word! Seventies music at its worst!

Watch the clip again, I WAS in the middle of the road! Just not paying attention. ;D

How familiar. In one case I can think of, not perhaps known to most on this forum, all the people who fell out originally have died or been locked in institutions for thier own good. Yet the inherited chip on the shoulder is supported by silly little followers like some kind of religious fetish. At least half of those people have some kind of reportable personality disorder according to my Psychiatricly qualified expert friend who has accompanied me to a few events and now refuses to go as it is like being at work! Sadly the fun nutters have mainly left leaving the bores with a larger voice than is comfortable. I no longer give a Honda ST50's either and have little to do with their activities while still owning a car. Hopefully the Mopeds etc. have many years of larking around before that happens.

Phunky Moped was bought for the flip side, Magic Roundabout, I thought. None the less an Embarristers clerk by the sound of it.

Al, It is good that you travel with a Psychiatricly qualified expert. 
If only the same support was available for all those in 'care in the community'.
