As some of you know, i've been thinking of getting a scooter and haven't had much luck as they've all been tiny shitty little things for at least 500quid..i.e. rip-offs.
However, fluke-of-flukes today; picked up the local paper and saw a pretty vague advert for one so i got a lift out to see it with my dad...some farm, litterally in the middle of knowwhere (quote BRUN when he bought my 16v 'no street lights or anything'). Anyway, the chap opens up this barn and theres a fairly decent Yamaha BW sports scooter sitting there. It needs a bit of work (shock i rusted, electric starter broken, speedo broken) but i can't complain because he took just 275 for it - bargain of the century IMO!! :D
Got it home to my folks but i'll be getting into mine at the weekend so expect progress pics of its restoration....kinda looks a bit like this tho except all black with white wheels;
