I finally moved my last thing out of Bethnal Green yesterday - my Vespa. I really need to ride that thing more. The 10 miles to my new house were a fucking hoot. A noisy hoot that seemed far faster than the speedo indicated.
Unfortunately I also discovered a fucking great big scratch in the sidepanel, which must have been done recently either by the removal firm, the MoT garage or me when I was clearing out the garage last week. Whilst its pristine-ness is exactly what has put me off from riding it anywhere, I didn't shell out all that money for a bare-metal restoration only to have it ruined by a 3 inch gouge in a really visible area. Not really sure what to do now.
