"We have a vespa and enjoy the rallies etc but keep the two worlds apart. "
I ride a px but am looking to get a vbb. Would love a GS but can't justify the spend. What is it you guys ride. I get why you keep the world's separate. |

We have a GTS 250, would love a classic to add to the GTS but we just don't have the room for one. |

"I ride a px  I have been on the last 2 Llandudno rallys. Great weekends "
We went up last year, four hours of torrential rain on the way up but it was well worth it, beautiful town and good entertainment in the evenings.  |

"Tenby, merthyr, Weymouth, IOW and woolacombe so far.
Well what a shite year this has been for rallies. "
Indeed, we did manage to get to the IOW which was a nice relaxed weekend away. |

Going back a few months we thought this year would be a massive improvement on the last one but it's not looking promising unfortunately. |

I think they look great, you'll always get the odd scooter snob but most of those have got brand new modified parts on there classic scooter. |

I’ve had a full engine rebuild (Ts 230 ) about 4 year ago by a reputable engine builder. So far the engine has done very well. It’s taken me all over the country to various rallies and I have a done quite a few in Europe aswell. Hopefully when this bloody virus calms down I can get back on the rallies. Need to have a good blow out and a good dance to some tunes. Lol |

Passed my bike test in 97 I’ve had zx6r r6 zx10 rvf 400 r1 and after all these years due to illness and lack of work I’m riding a 125 scooter to get to work and back cheaply ie £5 a week petrol lol obviously bikers have no idea who I am so I get completely ignored apart from the police and young gangster wanna be”s |

"Use to have a GP and done the rallies and doos from 84 up until 98.Great days.
I quite like the modern lambretta copies. Still very stylish.
"
I see nothing wrong with modern scooters, we've got a gts and it's great for rallies or zipping in and out of traffic if we want to go to the beach in the summer and it'll happily sit on a motorway 2 up at 70 for as long as my arse will let it before age related aches kick in. |

"Being into Northern Soul, there is quite a few scooters on the scene, but I never really got into them.  "
This for me as well, into the northern scene in a massive way but was always into superbikes.
Shall we start up a northern soul superbike club |

Sorry, I’m new to this thread. Just a question about scooters. I’m looking at buying a T5 Classic but it’s up for £2600. Does that seem about the right price? Would I be better looking at rallies? I’m after either a T5 or a P2 ideally. |

I thought they might be. I bought my old T5 mk1 from a guy I met at a rally for £600 quite a few years ago. Gutted I sold it now. I’m really after another T5 or P2 range really. Unless I can find an RD350 YPVS engine to go into a lammy. |
