At the expense of preventing EVERY existing Freeview STB and IDTV (except those brand new ones with a DVB-T2 chipset) from watching anything at all ever again! I knew that but....... I never said it was practical. but knowing Freeview and the habit of rendering boxes obsolete. I would not recon it will never happen. Time will tell. as HD becomes normal it may just happen one day. and hardly anyone would notice. |

... "lee" wrote in message news [email protected]Hi Alex. I know you`ve gone over to motorbikes but just wondering if you still bother with scoots?? Regards. Lee. I've actually swapped back to scooters again. I bought a Vespa GTS300 in January and sold the bike. Alex All the stability of a shopping trolley, and brake's as well as one.

Hehehe , no stability issues on the larger modern Vespas - 12" wheels and a decent wheelbase makes them feel pretty well planted and the disk brakes do the job ok. They really are very good fun. -- Alex |

Alex So's a shopping trolley, but you won't catch me taking one on the roads. 12" is better but still isn't big enough for any useful stability.

Obviously it's nowhere near as quick as a midsized motorbike but it doesn't feel sluggish at all. You'd be welcome to have a go if you ever pass by my bit of the west mids - you might even like it ;0) -- Alex |

Loads of times (especial after chucking out time) i've had ****s in hot hatches tailgate me that i couldn't get way from. I now have a Z750 and i wouldn't want and wouldn't recommend anything smaller Steve Terry -- Welcome Sign-up Bonus of £1 when you signup free at: http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/G4WWK |
