I have to say Tim your GP blew me away at Bridlington. I'm a great fan of RLC as you know, but they've excelled themselves this time; I stared at your scooter all day. Photos can't really do it justice. It needs to be seen in the flesh.
I'm not sure if I told you but I 'popped' in to the RLC shop while your scooter was mid-resto. When I saw the state of some of the parts that were consigned to the bin, I now fully understand why a full resto was the only real choice; the salt air had done some major damage.
I've never been a massive fan of the GP/DL ....until now. I do own one however, and when the RLC boys dropped my TV off in Edinburgh, I asked them to take the DL back to Italy for restoration...so thanks for costing me a fortune
Hopefully you'll manage to get some miles on it before winter really kicks in. People need to see this beauty on the road.
Cheers, Paul
