Scooter abuse
« on: January 07, 2018, 09:28:34 PM »
Surely one of the worst we've seen in here.  I can count 8 on board, and they're not all infants.
But the scoot has been nicely gold-leafed with a rattle can.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Yep- I was missing the two black "blobs" on the far side.
You're right about the tyre pressures.  The poor little scooter isn't showing much sign of stress (but I would buy it).   :crazy

That one looks like an army personnel carrier Biggles! Either that or they've lost something.

It certainly looks like a very effective "search engine".
Except perhaps for the rider, whose vision appears to be limited".   :eek

They all look like they have their hands in the " high port arms" position but seem to have lost their rifles :well. Their drill people are not going to be happy.

Big safety difference between a highly trained specialised team display demonstration, and a group of infants jammed onto a scooter in street traffic.
