I've just received a new network cable (the other one kept unplugging itself. Plugged it in and all is good. Not using WiFi for getting in here!
If you find the BSA difficult get a Yamaha N-Max 155 Techmax. I am proud to own one - they are a bit special and I just stumbled on this by chance. The Chinese have not managed to copy it, or it costs them too much. Japanese engineering, modern electronics, variable valve timing, all kinds of tyres available - including Pirelli sports tyres. I will ride to the coast now and get some chips, and eat them in the evening sunshine - 600 mile first service booked for Monday.
I don't know the bike but from your picture, that looks like the problem that I have with lots of bikes. The pillion seat raises up from the rider's seat and I struggle to lift my leg over it. The BSA attraction was that the saddle is flat - old school. I'm happy with the bike and if I wasn't, as I said, that would be me done riding. If I couldn't get on with the BSA, I don't think that I could get on with anything.
Fair enough, I just thought to mention it in case the BSA does not work out - and with a decent scooter there was still the possibility to get out of the house and into the world on two wheels. But as you say if it doesn't work for you then at least you have had a look at it as an option. Also to dispel the myth that maybe scooters are a homogeneous group of slow boring crap two wheelers - 'cause no they they aint Ducati should make one with a proper engine....that would be a riot of a thing I place my order now
I fell liberated now! I have a bike that I really like without having to bother with the scooter route!
I am very pleased for you, I was only trying to help. Incidentally my new scoot will not be replacing the No.1 bike.
