I remember Warner’s motorcycle shop very well indeed. They were agents for Capri Italian scooters and I bought my Capri 80 from them – in red and white. I had to put up with a lot of harmless banter from my friends as the registration number was 1531 YG – and I got it the day the famous Russian Yuri Gagarin went into space. Although only half the price and power of the famous scooters – Vespa, Lambretta etc – it was a fine machine and carried two adults without a whimper, and was totally reliable. I did however nearly fall off it when collecting it from Warner’s – in front of a bus shelter full of intending passengers – I had a long experience of riding motorcycles but a scooter was like sitting on a dining chair with nothing between the knees for balance.
