Dodgey knees indeed! Remember my jeans had a hole in the hem, just enough to catch and I couldn't put my foot down, bike and I both went down on my left knee, still feeling that one. And still miss the bike. My husband is sweet, offered to buy me his friend's Indian, which I might do as an investment but don't know if I'd want to ride it. Steve you should do a model of your scooter! Marque
