Scooters are not real bikes...

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

If I find my 400 four too small then my next 2-wheeler will probably be a scooter - I so much want to re-live my old Maico Letta days but with disc brakes & better suspension - I do like the look of those Royal Alloy  300cc scooters !

 Damn you Ted, i now want a Royal Alloy GP 300, never heard or seen them before, but i am now lusting after one, i know, i'm odd ! how can someone who rides a 750 Honda also want a "mod" scooter.

I think it looks like a mutant steam iron with little wheels on!

I've had lots of fun keeping up with my mate on his Gilera GP800 on my 750F1 on twisty Welsh roads so I can see the attraction. He has just changed to a Honda 750 Forza, so fun ahead.

Cheers

The local dealer has one in his window I walk past it every time I have an outpatients appointment at the old DRI hospital in town.

Would that be Bob Minions?

Yes I think they have stopped selling Hondas now - I bought my NSU Quickly from Bob Minions  when they were on Park Street circa 1963 - it was in an outside shed for £15.00

Were you in Derby when Palin's were there as Honda dealers?

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

Aside from 4 years away at Uni on a thick sandwich course I've lived in Derby since I was 7 yrs old. Strangely enough I sold my old Maico Letta privately - a week later it was in Palins showroom at double the price!
I also used to get spares from Mackton Motors. There was a great shop down the alley from Palins just before Bradshaw St - all long gone.
I also remember when Samways were Honda Dealers!
