with the new HPE GTS now in the dealers showrooms Piaggio were doing good deals on previous models...with over a grand off a pre registered brand new GTS300 I thought the time was right to buy another new one...

so on a cold Saturday morning in January Di & me went to MSC in Nottingham with the sole purpose of buying a grey GTS..

three and a half grand...say no more...

when I bought the scooter they told me there was no free toolkit with it anymore...they didn't tell me there wasn't a cover either!!..

never mind...I bought one from Fowlers for pennies...

that looks better...

so that's what a clean GTS looks like...

actually...my old GTS is still really clean...tons of stone chips and other associated scratches that comes with use...

this should look this clean for a few years to come as I don't intend to use it for a couple of years...

doesn't stop me sitting on it though...

it's a nice sunny day so out it comes for a photo shoot...

you will notice that it has a screen on now...

a twin screen like on the other one...

what a poser...took it for a quick blast up and down the Black Country Route...it now has 10 miles on the clock...
