Scootering  |  392 - February 2019
Like all politicians, I’ll get the bad news out of the way first… there’s no Targa 275 ‘Street Sleeper’ update this month. List of excuses include… none of the parts I ordered arrived, the electrician who is plumbing power into my shed is booked but can’t get to me for another two weeks, and while I completed all the paperwork for a V5 (and endured a vehicle inspection from the SGS) I’m still waiting to hear back from the DVLA. Thus… everything hangs in the balance on parts, power, and registration!
It’s not all bad news though, the slot I had earmarked in the mag (p92-93) is filled with one of the nicest scooters Stan has ever ridden (his own words) – a 43hp JB tuned RB, in a S1 chassis… so every cloud etc.
Moving on from that, it’s worth making mention of the show I just returned from as I write this… the Carole Nash Winter Classic at Newark showground, which encompasses ‘Scooter World’, an event run by my esteemed colleague Mau Spencer, editor of Classic Scooter Scene. I understand the main show took in more than 8000 visitors across the weekend, and the Scooter World halls had their biggest attendance to date, with more than 145 scooters on show, dozens of club stalls, trade stands, and thousands of visitors through the gates. The event just gets bigger and better, each year… so once again Mau (and team who help him), please all take a bow for organising what is now clearly a flagship event in the scooter calendar.
Anyway, that’s enough of my ramblings, it’s another belter this month… enjoy the issue.
