    But, but... Scooters are a hoot to ride in town if you know how to ride... I used to deliver the mail on one in Taupo. I raced myself every day to see if I could do it faster. I had a ball on it!

    Ahhh, if you're talking about mobility scooters for the old folks, they need them up high so drivers can see that someone is about to run out in front of their car on one... Personally I don't like them fro myself, but if anyone wants to put up with the noise while driving along and feels good for it, I guess, each to his own...

    I saw/watched one of those old buggers on the road a few weeks ago, he went across at the lights on SH1 (here) and instead of getting onto the footpath, he veered off and powered up the road, until about the Mobil Station...

    Are you back to your flag obsession again? Come on, admit it, you've got a secret flag fantasy - it's ok, you can come out of the flag closet...

    Is it a flag obsession or is it another, darker obsession?

    That'll be me in a couple more years. But I aim to stick a 750cc GSX-R engine in mine...

    Some old fulla was outside my shop on one a wee while ago. It was the gruntiest mobility scooter I've ever seen - big machine, big chunky wheels and several hours worth of battery. Guy reckoned he was having a ball on it. His family bought it for him. He reckoned he could go right across town and back without a recharge. Stick some fancy electrics in it and who knows what y'could do...
