    Nice idea, but by the time you are suited and booted you would probably have reached the shops in the car. (Assuming you would wear protective clothing rather than gambling.) that said, I often prefer my scooter for fun and easy parking. Mine would be to large and too expensive for your needs (Piaggio MP3, two wheels at the front incidentally, and nearly 500cc. I fitted a large Givi top box.)
    I was like that for the first few months. Now I can get suited & booted in 2 minutes. Add another 2 to get de-suited & booted. Definitely worth it.
    Only issue for me clients with nowhere convenient to get changed into work clothes (I prefer to wear my one-piece if it's dry out) - not everyone feels it's appropriate to get changed at my desk. Plus you can add another 2 minutes to get dressed in that case.

        What do you actually wear to work? I'd love to commute more on my bike (Well, perhaps not mine exactly as it's naked), but I only ever do if I'm wearing non-work clothes. Do you have a packing tip, or do you just wear shirt/trousers under your gear?

          I use the disabled loo to change , but we don't have anyone obviously disabled (in the conventional physical sense) working there so no one minds.


          nice large area and normally some hooks a well.

          you can sit down for a nice dump as well without touching the side walls. Allows you to open the slipway so to speak!
