    So Dad, at 74 and with two artificial knees and recovering from chemo,
    decides it's about time he got himself "a mobility scooter"...

    Never one for the usual route, he turns up today on a Quadzilla 250 complete
    with "hi-performance exhaust".

    It's a bit of a beast, covered in Danger of Death warnings and the
    illustrations in the user manual are crying out for some ukrm-stylee
    captions.
    See http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/davepauline/quadzilla/

    I'll start with;
    7-F " You can get 3 on the quad but the passengers might get a little
    shaken"
    7-O "Having sex with the quad is OK as long as you're going uphill"


    Oh and the Tiger? He's also got a 900 Triumph Tiger, which will be up for
    sale when he gets around to it...
    So let me know if you might be interested.

    The hi-power, bright yellow, Madza RX8 is staying though he's also go a new
    2.0 Focus and a Chinese 125 Custom for potting about.


    Way to go Dad!

    7-C "Never use your quad to piss off practitioners of voodoo"

    7-G "Don't wheelie like a puff"

    7-K "Do not attempt backwards bunny-hops out of mud traps"

    7-M "Why not go out with your mates to catch really fucking fast
    butterflies?"

    Ditto. I hope I can still be riding at that age.

    My brother (70ish) just bought some huge Yamaha cruiser.

    v. good, I had to check 7-M twice but then it was a "coffee over the
    keyboard" moment.

    Related question: why do these things have a thumb throttle rather than a
    twistgrip?

    Yeah - My Mum's too scared to ride her normal mobility scooter. she
    keeps bumpling into street furniture.
