Now I'm a scooterist am I still allowed in here?
Now I'm a scooterist am I still allowed in here?
A little late but hey ho.
Last year I traded my 2011 Versys 650 for a 2020 Yamaha Tmax 560. It was a lovely thing, less than 700 miles on the clock and a nice and fruity aftermarket exhaust on it too. In fact, it was so lovely that some scrot nicked it within two months of my owning it.
Fast-forward to February this year and after many phone calls and emails I finally got an insurance payout and promptly went and bought another TMax.
So can I still frequent this place now I'm a scooterist rather than a biker? I have noticed 'motorcyclists' ignore me on the road when I give 'em a nod now I'm on a scooter!

Scooter?
It has 2 wheels and an engine, what's not to like?

Tmax are bloody good for what they are. Perfectly reasonable choice for road riding I reckon

2 wheels good, 4 wheels bad. Welcome Dunxster
It won't be long before everyone here is too old to swing their leg over a motorbike and will have to get scooters or cruisers
