SCOOTING AROUND PARIS

Scoots is off and loving the cut and thrust of weaving through the Paris traffic, wing mirrors almost touching. Well I am. To be honest it's very exciting and nail biting at the same time, especially if you are on the back like Margaret. More pure fear for her! You really haven't experienced life until you've taken on the totally unstructured chaos going around the Arc de Triomphe, the confluence of 12 roads with no traffic lights or lane delineation, on a scooter with cars, taxis, buses, lorries, motorbikes and scooters coming at you from all directions at speed. Great! 


Returning from a few laps around the Arc de Triomphe.

Other times it's squeezing inbetween cars queued up at traffic lights.


Weaving to be the first off at the lights.

We have had a few scary moments and the speed is quite phonetic. Margaret always pleased when we stop the engine next to Soraya.


Back at Soraya. A rare photo of the two of us on Scoots.

What fun you and scoots are having.
Great culture, concerts and expos.
What a fab city. I'm very jealous.
We'll try and get soon.
