2017 Piaggio Beverly 350
Posted on: | Category:

Yes, I know. It's starting to get silly. Last year I bought a little 125cc scooter for getting about on in Spain. Then took my test and got a 400. Now I've just bought a 350 for use in Northern Ireland. What is it they say? You always need N+1 bikes?

This is Misty, my Piaggio Liberty 125 scooter, bought new in July 2024. She was my first venture into the world of motorbikes, and I instantly fell in love! She's now for sale as she's getting replaced.

Bosch Kiox display upgrade cannonade

My Cannondale Ebike came with the Purion display as standard. It's "OK" as a basic display goes. But it's very fiddly to use, especially when mated with the Volspeed tuning box, and offers very limited data. So I decided to upgrade to the newer Kiox.

You can see a gallery of the process here.

Piaggio Liberty 125

Ya, OK. Calling it a motorbike is a stretch. I'd previously have called it a scooter, but that term is now used solely for electric scooters, so maybe I should call it a moped? But that terms doesn't exist in Spain, where I've bought it. They call it a "moto", so that's what it is, a moto!

We recently stayed in Granada for a few days. I got to do some walks and runs in the Sierra Nevada national park and we caught a local festival on a day trip into the city.

On a trip to Nerja for some lunch, we were lucky enough to turn up on the day of the san isidro festival. There was a service in the large church on the Balcon De Europa, then a procession throught the town.
