Battery dead on the BMW (I suspect that it was due to two hours of 'escorting' SO on her scooter around Paris at 30km/h), so as I'm on the scooter insurance as a named rider, SO graciously lent me it for the day. It's like being on a motorised bicycle, but the final straw was when a cyclist overtook me on the Champs-Elysées ... I'm out for a bimble. :-)
