well the roads are safer now, a customer of mine got a ticket for using his mobile phone when driving, (stopped at traffic lights) when he showed the fascist (no prizes for guessing which copper it was) his phone and that he had just been resting his head on his hands against the drivers window he changed the charge to summit else. he has booked an appointment with the chief today. will let you know how it goes.
I tried to outrun an Austin Westminster once on my Lambretta.He got a bit upset after I overtook him on an uphill bend.Turned out to be an unmarked Police car-he was not amused when he caught me.
There was an unmarked police car on the motorway today, flashing its blue lights, but bizarrely not in any hurry to break the 100 kph speed limit. Odd. What was odder was that it had licence plates from the canton of Graubünden (Grisons in French). That's where St. Moritz is, about as far from here as you can get and still be in Switzerland. So either he'd driven 400 kms and was a long way from his jurisdiction (with blue lights flashing all the way?) or the local gendarmerie have taken the sneaky option of putting licence plates from a different canton on their vehicle. You'd never have suspected them, but of course I will now. That car will stand out a mile with those plates.
I really miss not having a tuned lambretta - tried a few old oned Li 150? with a sloped away back. Had 3 Vespas - it means wasp doesn't it?
go to malia, rent a bike put yur shaeds on.....been there done it. shorts, flipflops and shades...greatest feeling. but my hair was such a mess, i had to drink to forget.....usually where id parcked
Born in 65 me. I still have a Rally 200 Electronic in the garage. But I'm a Lambretta fan generally except for Rally 200's. Theyre great. Plus I never got away with it. They caught me later and I spent the entire weekend in the local nick (Eltham) until court on the monday. I may as well have had a season pass for Bromley magistrates when I was a young scooterist. Plus never get your mates sit in the back to watch proceedings. Especially when they take you down for 2 weeks vacation in Pentonville. The sight of your mates laughing with tears in their eyes is a terrible thing.
