scooter riding

nothing better than riding my lambretta at 5am as the sun is coming up, i try to do this as often as i can, usually by riding over to the lakes at night, getting a few hours kip in my bivvy bag and getting up with the larks, for a couple of hours the roads are mine and mine alone, its like owning the world for a few hours, no one to disagree with you, cut you up in a hot hatch, or be awkward with you, one thing i have noticed the more polite iam to people the worse they treat me for some reason they think im trying to be funny with them, i dont do WKD humor or double speak, what you see is what you get so on and so on etc etc, i dont like the modern world much, nothing improved since 77 as far as im concerned, i was 18 then and a punk,best years of my life i reckon, worked at the pit single and loads of money, going on scooter somewhere every weekend just about, rallys, racing, wigan, manchester to see my old mates who are still in to scooters who i still see, though not often enough, thinking about riding over the lakes this weekend, but aether forecast is not that good, showers not good in a bivvy bag ! last time it rained and i was bivvying i slept in a bus shelter, they are not substitute toilets in the lakes, and many are build as night shelters for hikers,
