Pity about Covid! Thats a pass to the boat with all your boozy mates and a big party!! (Normally)
Michelle never hardly used our boat so it was mainly full of my drunken mates. Dammit! I miss it even more now!

Yeah Ill resurrect it when I have something to say. Two weeks ago my left leg just stopped working. So I couldn't walk let along get on a bike. A lot better now but going for an xray tomorrow. I reckon when the search resumes it may well be an automatic or another scooter.

Ive still managed to get out on the scooter a couple of times which I had to almost hop to. Not sure the cold did the knee any good mind but I am determined to keep it going through the winter.
I see Aprilia do an 850 beast of a scooter. 75hp and goes like the clappers apparently. Only seen two for sale in the entire country and around the £4-5k mark.
Sorry off topic now

Do you have a model name Barry. My Son does part time work at a Motorcycle dealer on Westgate Road in Newcastle and he might be able to help. He rides an Aprilia himself, it's about 1,000 or 1,200 cc though, so too big for your rack.

My neck of the woods too, I’m only kings Bromley. Love the mucky duck.We will do what we always do every New Years Eve.. we chug our boat up to the Swan Inn at Fradley junction from Barton Marina, moor up, get a few DVDs on and crack open the gin bottle with a nice Indian takeaway curry (sadly the pub will be closed this year due to covid otherwise we would be in there counting down the minutes of a shite 2020) we will then wake up New Years Day (at some point) and chug it back to the marina doing the 7 locks with a bloody hangover.. I cant wait.. (good job missis Joy is the lock monkey and all I have to do is steer the boat
