Elessimo – 1st Feb short run planned Bristol area to AV8 cafe at Kemble airfield. I will pobble over to join the run and then go straight home from Kemble.
Otherwise nothing your way until after April. I expect there will be at least one into Brecon or similar in the good weather.Post it up here in the Meeting section closer to the time, I will join in if I can/weather permitting
4000 a year is more than most achieve. My MOT bloke reckons 1000 – 2000 is more typical of most bikes. Your year two looks like quite a year!
I did about 4500 last year but it was spread around a bit!
I am looking forward to the TT, Scottish and Welsh trips and maybe another run into Europe, see how cash/time/holiday works out
It was sunny but cold today so I managed another 25 miles or so on the 125. Quite a few bikes out. I should of dusted off the Duke!
Yesterday I did 140 miles with the 4 Counties Bikers. 75 bikes from Bristol to Weston Super Nightmare. Started and finished in Swindon of course, no motorways. Pretty good for a day that didn’t get over 5 degrees on my dash gauge
That’s a fair bit of riding on a day like Sunday…I had to scrape ice off my car at 11am, bitter cold and freezing fog!
Welcome to the forum. To be honest I don’t have any experience of the Peugeot Jetforce Compressor, but I do know somebody who bought a Lexmoto Valencia in 2013 (PM member Gix she got it for her sister). I am not aware of any trouble with it, but I remember thinking the panels were very thin.
We have a good Scooter specialist here in Worcestershire, Readspeed, they are a Peugeot dealer and may be able to answer some of your questions regarding the Jetforce https://www.readspeedscooters.com/
My daughter has a Piaggio Zip 50 2T, and while an Italian brand and carrying badges of the Italian flag it is in fact a Chinese assembled machine. She has it 2 1/2 years and done about 2000 trouble free miles locally. Quality of build is ok, but finish on some brackets is beginning to go, most notably on the rack bracket.
Another member bought in a Pulse 125 bike on a 10 plate with only 4,000 miles on. That needed quite a lot of TLC…shot wheel bearings etc, but it looked good and rode ok for what it was when finished. OK not a scooter but an interesting insight into Chinese quality

We have discussed Chinese quality on here before

Lol, where was he holding on?
I dread to think. I remember watching this at the time it was first aired
Thanks..long days in the saddle but im sure it will be worth it.
Look forward to reading about your experiences and seeing the pictures. IoM TT is this years big road trip for me. I might get over to France at some point for a long weekend to check out some WW1 battlefield sites
Done my maintenance for the winter – fitted a shiny new battery.
No push starting then, be good to see you out and about
Readspeed was first port of call, a scooter specialist, but do small smaller geared bikes too, then Alc Dorrell Motorcycles, a long established classic off road specialist. A proper old fashioned bike shop and rounded off at Kidderminster Motorcycle Mart. There is another two small shops local too
