    The names Carl. Well I'm 31 and about 4 weeks ago I wanted to go back to the good old days of scootering, so decided to find myself a nice 125 scooter, after thinking of the previous bikes I've own I come to the conclusion there really was only one bike I wanted, the .....Gilera Runner SP.......
    So I went out looking for a really nice clean bike that had not been mess with in any way, and I'm really happy and very surprised to say I've found one. This ped is mint condition with only 417 miles on the clock !!! Don't get me wrong I paid top price for this 14 year old bike, it had been stored away for 13 years before the owner decided bring it out and sell this year. The bike has all paperwork, both Keys with the proper bike shops name tags still on, it had only been taxed one time in 2000, which I've got, and the bike paper work service book had not even been stamped for it's 1st 1000mile service! This is a really clean bike and was really lucky to find this, just can't wait to get it taxed and insured and get on the road. I'll take some pictures a post them :)

    Speak soon

    Carl

    Welcome.

    A picture speaks a thousand words ;) .

    If you've not ridden the scooter yet I am sure you won't be dissapointed when you take your first trip out on it. I have had my scooter for best part of 4 years as a project and only just got it running correctly this weekend. Its been a long time, but the few miles I have done so far have put a massive smile on my face :)

    If you have a photobucket account you can copy them up to there and insert an IMG link. I am using tapatalk app. Think you can get it for IOS. That way you can post directly from your gallery.

    Check the App store for tapatalk. Download and install it. Search for Scootershack in the App once installed. Log in and Bob's your uncle ;-)
