Me too Paul. It's the only 350 I have seen that I really like. It looks great fun.

That is absolutely fabulous. Y'know, in 1972 a pal and myself bought a ST70 each, and the fun we had was unbelievable, everybody that rode one fell off! They were just mental. Now I see your offering here, and it does get the adrenalin moving, but at 73 years of age I then think that maybe I should just leave it to the new breed of 25 year olds! Still a neat looking bit of kit though, well found.

Re. the old men, pogo sticks, and the arthiritic Ibuprofen chapter, do not despair gentlemen. Whilst sitting and enjoying your glass of Sanatogen Gran Reserve, open You Tube and type in Insane 80HP Mobility Scooter. When you can no longer balance on two wheels this has to be our ultimate salvation! Could be interesting round Tesco's as well!
