    I didn't see the bank manager in a side car but i did see Martin on his moped, turning right at Fenchurch Street. It right made my day :)
  • I so know what you mean - I've recently just turned 40 and am feeling quite old :eek:

    Don't you fancy keeping the moped, rather than using your bike as an alternative form of transport? Jamie Oliver used to run around London on his but don't know if he still does now or not.

    What about the one on this site, or the link to the Piaggio MP3 and the other interesting runabouts, particularly the Quadzilla! ;)

    I wouldn't advise wearing one into a bank or building society.
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)
  • Wow, what a big helmet you have! :)
