Default A scooter faster than the SV




It's a work in progress http://www.ronpatrickstuff.com/

For some reason I can't help but think of these when I see that scooter




As you can see from the website the guy is a bit jet happy

Can't view the link at work but is that the guy with the jet-powered VW Beetle by any chance?

I wouldn't want to take that thing on at a set of traffic lights!

Yep, that's the one!

I can see the appeal - repmobile up your a*se on the motorway? Turn the afterburner on and watch the guy's face in your mirrors as you accelerate into hyperspace, at the same time burning said repmobile to a crisp!

Not that tailgating is a pet hate of mine or anything...

Yep, mine too, that and people jumping red lights since EVERYONE seems to do it now, red lights are optional now are they?

I used to be able to get the reverse lights on when traveling forwards in my car without engaging the reverse gear. That will probably put the fear of death into any tailgaters.

I was just noticing that! People seems to just floor it and go through amber and red lights almost a few seconds after red! Crazy b*******, it is really annoying me recently!

On the subject of scooters, had to laugh at a W reg Piaggio, 125, it was well looked after and had a Scorpion after market end can looked good and didn`t sound like a scooter
