    Chch - Welly

    Friend of mine has today bought a 2003 150cc vespa from Chch. i was down there today at a 40th, and had a look at it, and she has bought it. it's her 3rd vespa - 1 got stolen and a classic 1960's one was written off.

    she wants to deliver it to wellington, but i'm thinking about popping down and riding it up for her.

    should be in a few weeks if anyone's keen for a convoy - it happily sits @ 110km/h

    Depends on the date, but I might be interested as far as Kaikoura

    Date dependant, but I should be able to come along. There's a bike that can't get away from me!

    .

    Should be a good ride. Who's your friend? Hope she does better with scoot #3 - if she wants to get together with a few other scooterists in Welly ask her to get in touch with me.

    Was gonna ask how fast they went....

    Thats pretty reasonable really! No worse than a GN250, lol!

    Oi you! Of the two of us I think we'd be in agreeance as to who rides more like a nana... and it isn't me!

    You know, from that point of view, we really should swap bikes donchaknow... you know, match bikes with riding styles and all that...

    Don't make me come up there!

    Hmm, let's see now... 900cc (919cc even) water cooled four cylinder versus 250cc air cooled single cylinder (but with a better looking rider )... yep, sounds like a perfectly even matchup, so you're on

    Just what are you trying to say?
    I already know my bike is bigger and sexier than yours, but are you trying to tell me that not only am I slow but you're better looking.....?? phuuu, them's some words that you may live to regret me thinks!!
    Anyway... wasn't this thread about getting a scooter from ChCh to Welly? I was referring to giving you a race on that!!

    Classic!
    You were referring to hopping on the vespa and giving me a race? LOL, that'd be fun I reckon! 5km stretch of twisties and back, swap bikes and do it again! Whee! Other people would look at us like we're mad though.

    Your bike is much bigger than mine and after seeing it in the flesh and having a sit, yep, definitely sexier too. Don't rub it in, it's not I like I have a choice of riding a bigger bike!

    Might be a closer battle on the looks front, though very difficult to quanify on account of being opposite sexes! Might have to call it a tie on that one...
