But there is a positive side to it. You can always find your scooter in the the masses.

In the last pic, the chap on the left...is he looking in disgust or envy at your bike?

I've ridden past the Route 59 Cafe plenty of times on the way to and from Skipton. There's always a few bikes parked up there, and at least a couple will go showboating past me on their way to hang out there. I know better places to stop and eat so I've never been tempted to pull in there.

The question has to be asked, if you've only ridden past & never been tempted to pull in & try it, how do you actually know that where you stop to eat is actually better

Simple, l know because I had a quick look online at the Route 59 Cafe menu a long time ago and there's nothing on it that appeals to me.

In contrast, carrying on a few miles to Skipton and I'm spoiled for choice

Been told that mine looks like an R6 head-on ..

Gina shares the current stable with Nelly (Tornado 900). Had a Vespa 150 Super when I was 18 and my dad courted on a Maicoletta. 2 wheels are in my blood as I'm also a Time Trialist and general headcase. Gold E46 ragtop and Fiat Coupe 16VT are my current/most recent brum-brums. 61 and won't grow up. Acquired the 2003 250SL on 6th June 2021 and so far have lifted the screen to height position 3 and replaced the OEM seized shockers with YSS jobbies with 2 chunky washers each side of the replacement units+original spacer on preload 2/5. Replaced the worn Avon Viper Stryke boots with Pirelli Angel Scooter. 25K miles used but not abused workhouse from Cov with yearly service for sub-a-grand so happy days. A few scuffs but nowt of consequence. 20mm thick Neoprene sponge bonded to glitzy, reflective Jintan top box with pillion back rest solid bumper lump. Just changed my n/s rear light bulb without removing the rack and top box. No mods to the rear panel hooks performed either and re-installed the 2 x 10mm bolts for rear light integrity so not to rely on the 2 x latch panel/cover screws.

I believe if not mistaken in the X9 review in 2000, they mentioned that Piaggio went for a sports bike look front end with shape of lights and fairing nose
