Even done the paperwork and parted with a hefty deposit, so deal is rather more than thoretical now!

Should be on the road early next week! Corsa have just got to receive the insurance certificate, so that they can actually refister the ting. And put heated grips on...

Nah - only joking. Schoolboys are still frowned upon, but otherwise, with consenting adults I think it's fine.

Had you worried though!

Have they let the forks through the yokes a bit on that one or is that std? The review I read sugested it was a wee bit slow to steer- maybe that'd sort it out?
