For the last 5 years we have taken petrol scooters with us to LM..... They have enabled us to get round the circuit, into Arnage for shopping and Mulsanne, trips that would have taken us an age on foot. We have had great fun with them, every time we set out it has been a mini adventure, not knowing what might happen while we were out. Breakdowns have been the norm. various component vibrating loose and even falling off !! running out of gas and having to tow people back.The mud this year was a real challenge....We have always been considerate to other people at LM,avoiding riding them round the grandstand areas and to other road users, where possible using cycle paths and ALWAYS using lghts at night...... So i am a little concerned by some of the bad vibes I have got about them this year. I am aware that they can make a bit of a racket, but LM is not a quiet place. We had loads of people ask us where to got them from, even wanted to buy them from us there and then....others tried to pull the pull starts as we were pushing them thro the walkways behind the grandstands..we had some plank try to kick one of the boys off.......There was no consistancy with the local police some of them would smile and wave us past, but the cops on bikes stopped us and told us to "GET OFF AND WALK !! these are forbiden " ....So I would appriciate ANY and All comments...... cos one thing I dont want to do is piss off anyone or spoil their LM experience.
