Soul Nighter; and The Scythemen Easter do in Hamburg. All of which have been
made great by the people I have met there and the AFSC

welcomed me back into the scene after such a long absence, and despite my
current lack of two-wheeled mobility!

16 .... Pet hates... I’m afraid that this actually sums up about 90% of REME
officers so apologies if it sounds like a whinge, but…………..Rude, Ignorant,
Arrogant, Self obsessed individuals who feel it is totally acceptable to just
interrupt or start a fresh conversation halfway through another one because they
feel that what they have to say is actually far more important than what is
currently being discussed, regardless of whether this is actually the case or
not. If your knickers are now in a twist, then clearly you are in the majority!
Up the minority!
17.....Best dealer……Honestly don’t have a clue. But I’ve heard that this guy in
Amsterdam does a nice line in…………….!???
18.....Worst dealer experience….Again, never had one, having stopped riding
after piling the only (working) Scooter I ever owned.

Cheadle/Dave Bellis (Thanks guys)
