The Italian bikes out where they belong, in the summer sunshine. Lockdown’s not over yet here in London, but seeing the bikes out in the sun again is like seeing the first daffodils flowering after the long grey winter.
The local dealer’s been open through most of the lockdown, looking after the scooter delivery riders; today (the first day of the “flexible lockdown”) is the first time I’ve seen the big bikes outside.
Confirmation of the slogan on the posters “Please believe these days will pass” and giving hope it may be soon.
