Calling all scooterists


Recommended Posts

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

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.

    • The end of a decade and a half of gaslighting, they must be exhausted. Oh boy, are we going to hear some coercive BS in the next 6 weeks. For some reason they don’t seem to be boasting about how well we are doing in education, crime and policing, fishing, agriculture, health, prisons, trade, trade agreements, immigration, transportation, utilities (including water), amongst other things. They seem to be focussing on exporting individual ‘illegal’ immigrants to Africa for more than it costs to take a journey into space. And rainbow-coloured lanyards for use within the civil service. I wonder why?🤔    
    • If you have a campervan (windows all round, seats in) they’re treated just like cars - come unannounced as often as you need. So I think it’s a way to avoid commercial interests’ abuse of the service. Imagine if you provided a local clearance service, you could empty peoples gardens and houses and take it straight to the dump and have nothing to pay. 
    • Gutted to miss out on the title in the end and fall down to fourth at the last! Thanks for running it - took me a while to get to grips with the format but came on strong in final few months. Look forward to next season!   JamesM
    • If you can access Facebook, there are many groups on there for different things. it may be helpful searching for groups on there. i joined a few groups on there myself which helped me with my health issues. it was these groups that made me realise I wasn’t the only one suffering with side effects & some women were worse off than me. hope that helps
