Wanted Scorpa TRide

[diggermanbob]

Wanted Scorpa T ride 250 , would prefer blue and white but as long as it's a straight bike I don't mind , I see a few for sale in France if any of you boys over the water see one give me a shout ,

Just saying...the back-up in the UK is not the best, and the French seem to have made a reliable Yamaha engine rather less so.

If you don't mind a 2-stroke, a GG Pampera III might be a better bet. The importers still seem to have quite a lot of spares 'on the shelf'. I've always been able to get the bits I need in a couple of days.

Only trouble is, I think this guy buys them up

Just found 3 Scorpa T-Rides on leboncoin:

But just a bit more money and you could go for a Beta X-Trainer, which is also very light, nimble and small but a newer better bike all round (two stroke though...):

Good hunting, Bob.

Thanks richard , I have looked at pamperas but getting a bit old now and most of the ones I've seen have had a very hard life , plus I love 4strokes , my trials bikes are 2stroke but I prefer a 4t on trails.

[diggermanbob]

Dave , any of those in your area or Steve's or Phils ?

[chunky butt]

Sorry Bob those are all miles away, I'm on it though. Hey what about Alan, aca herman, his mate, he had one when came over to pif's..... worth a try

Thanks Steve , just thought I would celebrate the new baby with another bike , I can leave it to him in my will

Yeah, all of them at least 4.5 hours away. One's near Paris and one's near Besancon (towards Swiss border).

The one to go for is the first one, near Beziers/Narbonne. Get yourself a grandad tan on the Med coast and take back a present for yourself. I'd recommend a van though. Riding a Scorpa about 1000kms up France would not be my idea of fun.

Like Steve, if anything turns up I'll let you know.
