how about this then...a Vespa 98...I always wonder if I have seen a few of these or is it the same one in many different places...

as you can see it has no stand...you either leant it on a curb or a plastic cup that came with the scooter...

some nice accessories on this one...colour scheme was nice too...

I wanna take it home with me...sidecar on the left hand side...just the job for the British roads...

there are a few of these about...I saw this being trailered out on Sunday morning...how far could you ride this through Sunday morning traffic without getting the pull...it would certainly stop all those smart arse BMW drivers who close ranks when you are trying to sneak in and out of traffic...

here's a shot without the dummy on it...just kidding...

one thing you can rely on no matter where you are in the world...a MacDonalds...this is the start of the return journey home...after a weekend of big sausages I needed something more accustomed to my own taste to see me on my way...I'm a liar...we spent most the weekend in Hamburg's many fast food restaurants...

Italian no. plates...now that's a journey home...mind you at least they are from the north...

I know it was a scooter rally but a visit to Hamburg would not be the same without a few shots of some of the architecture...

one of Bec's normal poses...

oh look...that fat bastard got in the way of those beautiful swans...

Archie says that as I took the piss out of his problem with the lighting coil I had to drop in a picture of this 2 year old T5 that was knackered...

so there you go Arch...a knackered T5...unlike us idle bastards that had only travelled to Hamburg via Harwich this guy had tried to travel across Europe via the Hook Of Holland...at least he had Green Flag cover...

just waiting to disembark...one last blast with the camera...

all done for another year...France next year...you bet...
