On the search for a Twist`n`go scoot for my nephew (just turned 16) and a promise I always keep. Results in....a Piaggio Zip. Front end damage (He`ll fix it and learn how to spray and make fibre-glass front fenders in the process). Registered in Oct.2003 (yep, thats right). Mileage.....50....five zero 50 miles! HPI cleared. £470 ukp.. Which is £70 more than we were expecting but having saved £70 on a new rear tyre for the Muell was money available. He`s back from a visit to the relatives in London tommorrow and it`s parked in the garage all clean (apart from the front fender) and new. And it`s Silver....not a girlie blue (his words;-) Can`t wait to see his face when he get`s back....I remember when the old man rode the FSIE into the back yard when I was 16...<choke>. -- Petel .( fucking big softey;-) 02 M2 Buell.

I'm jealous. I wish this had happened to me when I was that age. Best of luck to him. <snip> He`d managed to save £350 by himself. The lil guy is a worker and was expecting to do some (on bike experience...I.E re-building) to get a decent scoot. Makes it all the more sweeter that he`s not going to have the hassle of a MOT ;-)[1] -- Petel . 02 M2 Buell.

Very, very nice work, Pete. As you say, his face will be a ruddy picture. Jamie turned 14 yesterday. Two years to go. I'm already keeping my eyes open for a decent project DT50MX.

Ebay and Bike Trader have a few, but mostly at piss taking prices, or bikes in worse condition than your now legendary C90. Where else would you recommend looking, bike breakers, autojumbles?
