I know which one I'd buy  :)

Is the 750 one of James's as it looks familiar?

Too many aftermarket and incorrect parts fitted and a poor standard of partial restoration to be one of James's. James's fully restored bikes are absolute perfection.

I've never owned one Paul but there is a chap in our village that has quite a few and he's well involved with scooter clubs etc. He does loads of miles on his as well.

Just going on the reg MWV 87 J which looked vaguely familiar, wasn't looking at the bike particularly. Yes James's look amazing.

There's a busy scooter club who meet just up the road from me, they ride with us on local charity runs, but scooters do nothing for me. I can't see myself ever buying one.

My brother is an avid scooter fan…twat😂. Seriously, though these guys are serious and turn out some lovely machinery.

And you have to admire them - the active scooter club members travel to events all over the country on underpowered, bad handling and old tech engineered (read unreliable!) machines!
