A shot on a 50CC scooter

Hello there

I am considering getting a Vespa to speed up the commute to work but have never ridden one before. Is there a kind person on here who might consider letting me ride up and down a back street on theirs to see whether it is too terrifying for words?! I know this is a really random request, I promise I am not a scooter thief - I'll leave you my dog and car keys in exchange! Unless you are a bike thief....ha!

Thanks

It is ruffers, thanks so the advice. I might look and see if I can do a pre-CBT lesson. I just don't want to fork out a load of money for something I might be too scared to do on a daily basis!

    • I picked one up from Stuart Road allotments. Usually these events have them at venues. Use online map as a "bootstrap". The map is better on paper - its 2xA5 on a cleverly folded A2.  Exercise for reader - how many folds.
    • Yes the one I remember was round about there, so could well have been next to Dulwich DIY, but I'm getting very confused because you seem to be answering your own posts, but with different information 🤣 Blockbusters was the video shop, wasn't it? There used to be a sort of deli in North Cross Road around 1991 (?), I think it was Turkish. I once bought some cream there. When I got it home, I found it was about three months out of date (I may be exaggerating, I can't remember exactly). When I took it back, the guy opened it up, looked at it, tasted a bit and told me it was perfectly alright 🤣 I didn't buy anything perishable there again 🤣 In more recent times in North Cross Road, there was a little  shop next to the mosque which sold really cheap but good quality  ginger and garlic. I was sorry when that closed. Speaking of which, what happened to the French guy who used to come every year to Lordship Lane with strings of onions and garlic? And also in more recent times, there was the pet food and supplies shop in NXR (no actual pets). That closed shortly after the guy's partner, who was a dog walker, was outed on this very forum after one of his clients became suspicious and installed a camera. The recording showed said dog "walker" entering the house, moving the dog lead from one place to another, then leaving the house. Without the dog 😮
    • Glad for you, but I feel worse today! 😭  A friend of mine just told me on Facebook he has been feeling like this on and off for SIX WEEKS 😭  Oh dear. Thanks for that, I didn't know. I will definitely wear a mask if I have to go out, but it feels like I need to rest at the moment. At least I'm sort of glad to hear it's something going around, it's a bit worrying when you don't know what's wrong.
