Profile Information

About Me:
44 Married 3 kids g23 b18 and g5 yes there is a big gap. Wanted a PX125 since I was 16 but never done anything about it, finally got my dream machine when I was 38, and it has opened up a whole new "Way of Life". I have made so many new friends and some old ones.
I used to hang about the Clydeside and the Scence club as a wee plastic MOD, but was a bit scared of the bigger boys.
Top 5 tunes at the moment:
Paul Weller - Wishing On a Star
The Clash - Charlie don't Surf
Arthea Franklin - Oh NO My Baby
Stevie Wonder - As
Dionne Warwick - I Say A Little Prayer
Vespa, Lambretta or other?
Vespa PX 200

Ha ha, I'll keep a look out for a bright orange RAC van then! He must have been desperate moving to Penicuik anyway...
Unfortunately I don't have a scooter at the moment as I'm a student with a two year old and a bloody car to run!!
I still give out the Mod vibe in any way I can though.

Cheers
