tiger tyne gets converted

Moto seemed to had almost convinced Tiger tyne to get her licence and learn to ride his kato. However after coming for a ride on our weekly scooter terrorisation of Newcastle. Tiger tyne now wants a vespa.

While racy’s dad and his wife are at europe, we have been left in care (and competition) of their scooters. A bug espresso (which they won in a competition) and a piagio gold wing thing that I think gets used for cruising the vine yards.

Moto and tiger dinked on racy’s vespa. racy rode the bug and I rode the Italian gold wing. Tiger practiced on the nifty 50 in the back lane, then we padded up for the ride over to the junction to meet up with the rest of the gang.

We than zig zagged over to a local pub. As the route lead us past our house, I dropped in and swapped the gold wing for the nifty 50. I raced through the back streets to catch up with the rest of the gang and caught them at the pub. As I tried to back it in to the parking spot blues brothers style, I nearly crashed.

On the way home the most stupid way possible. I lead them up one of the steepest hills in our neighbourhood. One I know the nifty 50 can’t get up. I tried my hardest to loose moto, tiger and racy. Which is hard on a bike that only does 55km/h on the flats, and on a cool night. I can’t out run them on the flats, so I had to trick them. I would disappear around a corner then come back out in the opposite direction.

We managed to loose racy when we headed across a bridge that the bikes only just fitted. With a bit of encouragement racy rode across. We then tapped the nifty out on the longest street in our area. Really exciting on the nifty, but I imagine not so much on the 150s. we then stopped to check out the new vespas at the morris motorcycles. Tyne wants a red one. Then back to serendipity’s secret (aka our home)
