That's a subtle way of saying you're really on a 300 bud.

Morning bud, basically half a SilverWing

I posted to show luggage arrangements Bud Bud

My Vespa is a 198 have been across Spain on it From Santander to Vilanova and bit of Pynanees.

We went to IOW scooter rally last year and there were thousands of Scoots loaded similar to that picture and worse!
We went on our Sh300 but stayed in a shepherds hut so didn't need all the camping gear, they must be over weight for the bike, tyres, etc let alone insurance risks?
But hey ho loads of people do it, I've yet to find a scooter than can accommodate two people and some gear and stay with in the loading specs

That Vespa is truly one of life's survivors. You have that, and 2 x CNs so what do you want with some old Burgman?? A Helix will take you anywhere.

I want to relive my Croatia trip of 2006 with Bob he is itching to go again. His mate Tony Blair is coming as well

This maybe of interest to some of you

If I can use my UK driving licence in Africa, USA, Asia, why would the European countries not accept it? I am firmly Remain but a lot of these sill scare tactics don't help.
