Surprised me how slow it was, it was just a 50cc, but I was expecting it to zoom out of stoplights, it didn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sans permis cars here are a bloody menace! Especially as I think that a lot of the drivers of them have lost their licences due to drink-driving! Obviously they don't need to worry about that anymore! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfectly ok except for fast roads, which wouldn't exactly be the main use for someone buying that scooter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was eye opener when driving in Spain/Majorca to see many many scooter riders not wearing a helmet, thought it was law in all EU countries, and the police did not seem to give a toss, do that here and you would have 3 police interceptors doing a forced stop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Our Labrador had to go to the vet today as she has arthritis in her left elbow and she’s been limping a bit lately so we’ve put her in for a check. She gets quite stressed so they have given her a sedative to keep her calm………within a couple of minutes she was sleeping and snoring like a warthog. Niw waiting for a couple of hours while they give her the full check, x-rays etc etc……..won’t be cheap but she’s worth it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate, the added complication is that she is prone to epileptic seizures but the last one was just over two years ago so the diet we have her on is definitely working. We have to be careful as like all Labradors she’d eat anything………she could be part goat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll speak to the vet and see if she can have You Move as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate got nicked up near Altea and it’s not like you can argue with them is it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
