- The story behind my Piaggio NRG Mc3 Air cooled - |
 |
It all began a year before my 16th birthday when I decided I wanted a scooter to get me from A to B when I turned 16. I could not wait. ;-) |
| After looking in magazines for info, reports and
around all the main scooter dealers in my local area. The two I liked were
the Peugeot Speedfight 2 and Piaggio Nrg.
For many months it was a hard decision waying up all of the good and bad points |
| between both scooters. After alot of mind changing it was finally decision time. |  |
| Which one to go for? | |
| So on Saturday 11th May 2002 I went into my local scooter shop and ordered a New Silver Piaggio NRG Mc3 Air Cooled and booked my CBT test for the day of my 16th birthday. | |
The only thing then was to wait for my 16th birthday so I could
do my CBT. I could not wait  |
