oh nice one bruv!! got yourself a gem there by the sound of it, the real old school ones are hard to come by!!

get in touch when you got it ready if you're up for scooter rally, ride to the step would be seriously joke, then cruise it back across london 5am empty streets style

Had one of these bad boys until it got nicked- seen the tnuc riding it down the road as well :evil:
Got it back- was recovered in stafford (from London?!?!?), but was a write off.
Thinking of gettting something in the spring...probably a bigger bike tho.

I really want that slightly older peugeot, same kind of linkage on the front wheel but it looks well early 90s. I know thats an appalling description but I've searched for pics and can't find any. Best looking scooter ever, FACT.

speakin of nicked speedfights a guy i know had a real bad time with his one on that, some guy nicked his but he found it a few days later, however cos the steering lock had been snapped everytime he turned the handlebars the lock would come into play and it would just veer to the left/right harshly...stacked it down about 4 times a week as a consequence, longting
