Calling all scooterists

[Shaggy]

Now spring is here, I started my vespa up this morning, and discovered the battery is flat. I also decided to check the MOT cert, and found out it expires tomorrow...

There are a million garages in the area and a million scooters. Does anyone know anywhere within rolling distance of Lordship Lane that can a)charge my battery and b) sort out my MOT.

Thanks

Hi, I've go a motorbike battery trickle charger which you can borrow, could dig it out tomorrow for you if that's any use. Send me a PM if you want it.

Not sure about the MOT place though.

50cc or higher? Thinking of getting one, but so many types out there!

Try http://www.diabloscooters.co.uk/ they come to you.

Prices are good and excellent service.

I work in C london and he comes to repair / fit my vespa on a regular basis.

Also - the Mot place in Peckham is the nearest motorbike place. Its on the 1 way bit near the carpark. Open saturdays. Really nice indian couple - she has a vespa painted in cow spots.

Shaggy - the one in Peckham Tom mentions is Honda Riders 02 7732 44 66. I would recommend them too. I have wheeled my scooter there from Crystal Palace Road (hard work but just about do-able!). I have also arranged for them to get someone to pick it up from my house and delvier it to them (I think their mate charged ?20).

I had problems with my Vespa battery - I suggest you just get them to fit a new one.

Dell Autos (Hansler Road I think) also helped me out once as they have a portable battery charger/tester, when I rocked up and gave them a sob story (I think I bunged John a tenner for his time). Good luck.

There's a scooter place in Forest Hill just along Stanstead Road.
