We are talking ultimate coolness here.

I think if you look at the scooter design for a moment , it's clearly made to be ridden wearing a skirt / dress.....
So, yep Girlie

Nothing girlie about scooters. Standard kit for American airborn troops in WWII.

It seems the army surplus left behind in Italy, inspired the Lambretta and Vespa.

Well, I did wear a Parker with squirrels for epaulettes and have about 10 rearview mirrors on the Lambretta, plus being a member of the Bromley Innocents. Say no more.

Li175 for me. I yearned for a GP200 but was seduced by a Suzuki250 and changed sides.

You could argue that American troops a bit girly..shiny gaberdine uniforms, unlimited chocolate, a medal for everything...not like yer good ole' British Tommy..even in my young days cadets we still wore itchy WW2 style battledress 🙂

'Nother short-ish trip out today, to Askrigg, Hawes and around. Went a bit faster, slightly better corners today though both of those are not saying much. I'll get there I suppose.

Meeting friends for lunch tomorrow, so will do the Gearstones road. But I travel more slowly than I do in a car still, so I can't work out how long it'll take me to get there. Google Maps has a car, walking and cycling option - it doesn't have a setting for 'learner on 125 motorbike' 😛

The Brits' equivalent of the Cushman scooter was the Welbike, a proper bike although rethar small. Nothing girlie about that. I think the engine had one main bearing!

Got a tiny tank bag with a map window - still love OS maps, convenient though sat nav is.

My rheumy old eyes aren't good enough to read 1 inch maps any more, at least not without the assistance of reading glasses, and I can never find those when I need them!
