    Ask, or leave the owner a note, asking is this what they mean by 'Taffspeed' ??

    It's a scooter joke.........he might get it..........

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Taffspeed are scooter tuning specialists in Wales, who certainly started off with tuning Vespas and Lamberettas

    www.taffspeed.co.uk

    That thing is hideous though....

    Think it looks class .... have to respect the effort put into it, but to own I'd rather an irish gixxer version;) :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 412 ✭✭Fr Dougal


    Wondered about that one. I assume the driver is Welsh. I think I saw this one heading north in Whitehall this morning.

    Not my bag but looks well done.

    i think he went there and spent £2000 sterling on that look for the bike. The bike is indeed a vespa.

    That would have been him he lives in Clontarf and works near the Airport.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,098 ✭✭✭MonkeyTennis


    he may have a hard time selling it unless tom jones is in town and feels the need to nip through the morning traffic.

    It could happen

    I could think of a few better ways to spend £2000 Sterling................;)

    I was thinking that's fairly cheap for a new paintjob, upholstery, and what appears to be some custom mouldings....

    Yup. Soundtrack by The Who, basically about the Brighton Mods/Rockers riots. Showin my age now, I is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 182 ✭✭Stereophonic


    Ah, I sold you man (owner) a radio for that bike. I couldn't believe he was putting a radio on it. He's a Welsh man, big rugby supporter and he travels Europe on that bike. He said it's extremely reliable. I see him every now and again


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 21,254 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dub13


    It has a radio aswell...LOL,I am starting to like this guy far play to him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 821 ✭✭✭FiSe

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,878 ✭✭✭✭arybvtcw0eolkf


    Guys your talking about Lee from Scooter Island.

    www.scooterisland.com

    An absolute gent. You guys should hear that scooter idle, sounds like an old RD350LC, sounds beautiful. He's a sh*t load of Mods done on the body & engine.

    If anyone here was ever to consider getting into scooter's drop down and talk to Lee.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 512 ✭✭✭Drax


    I am almost sure I saw that bike on show in the RDS Bike show last year! Seriously.
