Tool are easier to grab and run away with and it's easy to sell tools on Marketplace, a scoot/bike not so.

Not really around here, but after having the shed broken into on Boxing Day night it's made me a bit paranoid took all my tools and could have taken the scoot if they had wanted, I now park my car right up to the shed doors each night, car alarm would sound if they tried to move it. But when we are away they have a easy way into the shed.....so it's coming in the spare room.

My insurance also asked what chain and lock I use.

We are away next week (weather permitting) so the scoot will be in the spare room for the duration, even there it will have a padlock and chain on it, Be easier to leave it in the (steel) shed, but shed is about as secure as a biscuit tin....can cut the steel sheets with a Stanley knife.

I would, but the bike was stolen in 1982 That bike (Honda CB400f) was never seen again.

In all my years of riding I have only ever had 1 bike stolen from me, I don't want to ever go through the anger/rage and frustration again.........the feeling when you return to where you parked your bike and find a empty space is soul destroying ........and the absolute crap that insurance companies come up with when trying to claim, it may only be a lowly scooter to you guys, but it's my scooter paid for with my money Rant over.

Have to be careful around here, there are some dubious guys riding round in vans.

Yep same here, set off on a ride, come back and it's is dusty......but it looks clean as I don't think I have ridden it in the wet...,..I will remove the seat tub which makes access to the engine a doddle. A few things to do to it, oil change in around 1000 miles, new plug, and the wheel paint is poor, respray during the winter.

It does until you get up close, the wheels are dirty, and the black plastics are covered in dust, suppose that's with it being so dry.

It is around 22c/23c but it is quite humid today. The rain will arrive tomorrow the weatherman says, and could be heavy at times, and it's going to stay around the same temps over the weekend, a warm & wet weekend.

Was a warm ride, cool in the airport.....er hospital. also went to Asda for a bun. Not much of a ride, could have kept riding, but doubt the buns would have survived a long ride.

Whoo hoo...I am off out on the scoot again today Only going to the hospital for my MRI........but it's better than nothing.

Na, there were 3 others.

You do have a way with words....er well 1 word.

But I can see the upside of putting a bike in a van/trailer and driving in comfort/warmth and riding it for a few days when you arrive at your destination, it's what the Germans did when I went on my Germany trip.

Who am I to comment, I hardly ride, can't take a decent photo, so my opinion is worth bugger all.

Hello & Welcome @heleme4

It's ok now, but I had to alter the base that I had already laid out for it to stand on.

Yes, the door is on the 10ft end. Not on the 8ft end as I wanted.......cannot get the scoot in straight, have to put it in from nearly corner to corner.

When I ordered my shed as asked for a 8ftx10ft...........bastids delivered a 10ftx8ft.....did not realize till all the parts and brackets were laid out on the lawn and I looked at the paperwork.

Hi @GentlyBentley.... Welcome on-board

A nice area @Richzx6r some nice rides/drives around there.

Mansfield have done very little since.......the Wembley game and beating West Ham was their claim to fame....

I went to (the old stadium) Wembley when Mansfield beat Bristol City in the Freight Rover cup final, Mansfield won on penalties. A good day out. I also was at Mansfield's ground when they beat West Ham in the FA cup......I got a black eye and lost a tooth cos Mansfield won.

Mansfield AFC V Worksop Town.....only going cos its being held at a place where I can have a pint while watching the game..
