Oi, oi!
Sorry for this delayed post. We survived a brilliant Isle of Wight and made it to Paris. Out of internet contact but photos and stories soon!

Yesterday, we set off around the corner for Retrospective Scooters, a shop we’ll have do the work on Stacy’s bike in the future. There we met owner Nile and his dog Hector. Our bikes will be in good hands. From there we rode to Islington to Dalston Motorcycles, where I passed my MOT inspections, [...]

Monday began with another zip through London to the East End in search of Scooter Emporium, where we’d booked our service appointments with Marco.

We made it. So far we’ve managed to get my bike up and running, and made a run last night to Luton to visit friends and fetch Stacy’s. She managed to get hers started on the third kick, and made the harrowing journey back to London this morning, despite a problem with the Vespa stalling. [...]

In a matter of hours Stacy and I leave for Europe. The bags are packed and scooters are waiting to ride from London to Paris, hitting the Isle of Wight on the way. Two weeks on the road and hopping around my old London haunts. It’s a much deserved and belated honeymoon, visiting old friends [...]

You lot,
The hiatus is over. This thing is back on the road, five years and counting. vespastics.com is back up, with surprises yet to come. Bikes dusted off and fired up. In two weeks we return to the Isle of Wight. Be seeing you…
vespastic ’til the end,
