Moped/Scooter Dealerships ??

christophicus

Right lads, I know this is going to sound a bit rediculous ( Infact I keep laughing to myself everytime I think about it ), but I am sick of walking an hour to get to college, so I am looking for a cheap scooter. Is there anywhere in Waterford that sells them second hand ??

Typhoon.

Check up in Marcus Dohertys (opposite Jonny walkers chipper)in the mayors walk. he sells new ones but I've often seen Adverts stuck up in the shop of people selling ones

best of luck

HB motors or Hilten Hinks (the owners actual name:D) on the cork road may have some or check their notice board.

If you're willing to venture out of the city, Southside Scooters in Dungarvan is the place to go for your scootering needs.

When you say expensive you have to remember that the person you are buying from in Vietnam you cant bring the scooter back if anything goes wrong and belive me it can be even more expensive if the scooter snaps in half. I have seen scooters from Vietnam that have been welded using coke cans so just beware when buying from these dealers

Thanks for the responces lads, I'm really just looking the cheapest Scooter I can find that is road worthy, preferrably ones that are less then 10 years old, so the specialist vespa places are probably a bot too expensive for me.

I'm going to check out HB motors and try and find out a bit more about Marcus Dohertys. If anyone has any other places that you think would be similar please do post here to let me know about it.

Just beware, that these things can be very dangerous. A mate of mine, came off his one when he skidded on a bit of oil coming up to the roundabout at the tramore road.He was not travelling at speed and was preparing to stop upon entering the roundabout. He came down bad on his left arm and shoulder. This happened at the end of July 2007, and he is still out of work with it and still requires atleast one more operation.

Iv seen a chap fall of it on my estate also - the road was slippy at the time.

Saying that, the amount of idiots who drive very carelessly is scary. All very young lads also. Thankfully, once spotted the Guards are quick to pull them over.

Check out here and you will see what has come from this part of the world. I am not saying all dealers are like that and selling poor grades of scooters but belive me I have got one that was a complete dead trap. anyway check it out for yourself at the Lambretta Club of Great Britain or http://www.scoot-central.com/4.html

Don't write them off as too expensice until you get a few prices. You might be pleasantly surprised.
