Nice read Less.
All the above struck a note as I straddled a Vespa 2-stroke scooter for near 40 years and definitely plugged into the scooter scene for a long time, way of life and all that jazz. I hung up my key only last year due to my 10" wheels disappearing in endless pot holes, age and felt 'the scene' was changing although probably just me actually.

I was one of those scooterists who actually rode all over the country in my time rather than hanging out in a Parka having ridden 5 miles only on sunny days looking cool. Back in the day we used to ride bloomin everywhere, anywhere day or night but what fun times. When I announced I was retiring from riding the scoot my chums nearly fell over with shock but there does come a day for everyone sad to say.

Probably seems a bit cranky to non believers but those scooter break downs in the middle of nowhere, punctures and being thrown into a hedge are precious memories for some great times we all had. Off topic...
Appy days!
