Tacking it out of garage in weekend for 100 mile ride yeah hah

Ridden not hidden as trad scoot riders say .

Still have a soft spot for old SeeEnn - even if the one I had to ride was Blezards while he rode off on a posh Italjet.

Needless to say it went back cleaner than it came, (you could even see through the screen!) and with air in the tyres. But I loved it - it was all so wrong it was just right!

Hard decisions. Just ride them anyway.
Fine or traffic penalty for me is less than registration cost.
I take the punt
