    Italjet Dragster 70
    Had one @ 16 , 17 years later thought itl be a good idea in building a italjet dragster from the ground up ( custom ) after my zip 125 got written off. The smell of 2T and the freedom of riding aswell as having something unique to cherish.

    Because scooters is the most romantic vehicle of em all. A nice summer day. Your lady in the back. Her titts in your back. Her arms around you, One hand on the gas the other on her thighs. And just slow riding. Having open helmets Talking about whatever, laughing. Riding to the Beach:) thats it guys. If you havnt done it yet. Just do it :)

    Why scooter?
    1. I like small things. The engine on my scooter is 279cc
    2. Quite cheap to buy
    3. Reminds me Warrior image I got from my grandfather - true (young) man should have a mission, a horse, a rifle and a falcon, the rest is excess. This is a job, a scooter, a laptop and a mobile phone in modern terms
    The rest is details

    Had a yam ybr125, got rid of it. Got a aprilia Leonardo 125 because it's easy to ride, 2 brakes and throttle, it's a quality scooter, with water cooling, discs front and rear, and a 4 valve engine. The shield keeps my trousers dry when it rains too. It's pretty quick too, had indicated 76mph out of it.
    People call 125 scooters a moped though and they are not. A moped is a scooter with a 50cc engine, a 125cc scooter is a motorcycle.

    I own a scooter for traffic hopping pure and simple, and freedom to park up wherever I want. Had to be a two stroke for pull, so I bought Yam YN 100 Neos back in 2003, it's quick, small and light and still going strong. Since moving to Cornwall it has really come into its own., Zipping around the little lanes. I load it up with fishing gear, park up right on the beach/harbour, and I'm off Mackerel bashing!
    Bad weather never bothers me. (I go fishing...says it all lol).
