I know, I know, to be honest I'm down to drinking once a week anyway since I've moved out into the sticks cos all my mates are back in London [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img] and I'm not enough of an alkie to go to the pub by mesself (contrary to popular opinion). I wouldn't ride if I had touched a single drop, I know how important balance, concentration & judgement are. I don't want to end up as Epona jam.

So what does your Eponavespa sound like Epona? Is it loud? Like a bee, or a hornet, a giant's fart, or a full blown belching roar that shakes buildings and destroys eardrums?

Hoho, how did I miss this? It sounds nothing like a hairdryer, or a lawnmower, nor any sort of buzzing insect nor farting (not even farting in a tin can thank you Talthy ).

It actually runs fairly quietly, a bit higher pitched than a light motorbike. Have been told that it is a 'retro bum-buzzer'. Have been challenged by a rockabilly to a ruck in Brighton next Mayday (I told him he'd better bring his mates ). Have been asked where my parka is. And when I am going to add mirrors & lights. Have also been waved at, smiled at, been given the thumbs up, and attracted lots of positive attention.

I am still loving every minute of it, this weekend I am planning a long round-trip (actually I'm helping my ex to move house, he's hired a van & driver & I'm helping to load and unload and getting between places on my scoot.) Going up to London, then to Grays in Essex, then back to Guildford. Unless it's pissing down, in which case I'll be stuck on a train looking moody.

Horatio, do you prefer props such as a bullwhip, or will bare fists do?
