These pics were taken by a spy camera after the recent IAM ride.
The pics, taken from high altitude with a high powered lens reveal a Mr Geoff James (recently retired international blogger) seen checking out a Piaggio MP3. He was also seen riding it around the car park. No pics were available of this as security was tightened beforehand. Sources reveal he was "quite taken" by the little 3 wheeled scooter.
A source close to the days events also reveal that Mr James had recently ridden a Triumph Bonneville America, and was quoted as saying that "the feet out front position was very comfortable".
Rumors persisted that the Street Triple was becoming far to much of a sexy beast for Mr James to handle. Although when approached for comment, Mr James refused.
Boy...you revel in instigating things! But that spy camera did a great job capturing that huge smile on Geoffs face. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThanks lori...I of course cannot reveal my sources as that would be unethical.
DeleteRoger:
ReplyDeleteexcellent detective work. I wonder if Mr James Chief CEO knows about his impending purchase ? You know it all starts with a "look", then a "touch", then a "ride", and next thing you know he will be back next Monday for its 600 km initial service.
Hmm, no time to blog, but time for . . .

Bob: I pride myself on my ability to sniff out a good story...(or make one up). I fear my desire for truth may bring a very smart rebuttal shortly.
DeleteRog:
ReplyDeleteTwo words: "You bastard".
And as for those international bloggers who take the mickey at a supposedly safe distance, the world is a small place :-)
Mr Fleming, you'll keep......
Geoff: hehe..I have been called worse! I have no doubt your revenge will be swift....
DeleteHahahahahaha!!! I wanna watch. I wanna watch.
DeleteThat figures....your voyeuristic tendencies are showing through!
DeleteBut of course! If I can't be there in person...it's my only option. :)
DeleteGood job being a snoop :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks George, one of my many attributes.
DeleteHa, too funny. It is always fun to stir the pile once in a while, especially when it involves a mentor. (Insert maniacal laugh).
ReplyDeleteHehe....Geoff's gonna love you!
DeleteVery nice! Gave me a smile. And, I bet it did Geoff as well.
ReplyDelete~k
I think it gave Geoff a frown!
DeleteWell, celebrities have to realize they have no private lives. :)
DeleteSo true Keith.
DeleteA Triumpher caught on a three-wheeler... Nice spy pic. Geoff's reputation is tarnished forever ;-)
ReplyDeleteSonja: I agree completly.......
ReplyDeleteBeats a mobility scooter...
ReplyDeleteDont talk to soon...
DeleteIt could have been worse e.g. a Reliant Robin - now that Geoff has an advanced licence he could drive one....
ReplyDeleteIn fact you could too now!
Trust you Nikos.....I am all ready in the poo poo.....
DeleteBrilliant! Haven't stopped chuckling...
ReplyDeleteI understand from other sources that Mr James was rather surprised at both the handling and the power of the MP3...
Hahaha....I think he had trouble working out the 12 stack CD player.
DeleteI think for Geoff's "age group" - 'Where's the cassette tape deck?'
DeleteClassic....
DeleteSigh......
ReplyDeleteCome on ...I bet you had a laugh!
DeleteToo funny!
DeleteThis was just awesome Roger - Great job capturing the famous Geoff James on an MP3
ReplyDeleteAnd Geoff - the boys are only teasing you because they like you. Or so I've been told. Now I'm waiting for your test ride report.
And I agree with CircleBlue - celebrities have no private lives, lol.
Brandy: Thanks, being famous has it's draw backs...
DeleteRoger:
ReplyDeleteare you still breathing ? Or has Mr James found your hiding spot. He may ride fast, but I think if you RAN he would have trouble catching you

Still breathing Bob! But with Geoffs knees and my ankles...fast and running dont reaally go together.
DeleteThis just keeps getting funnier.
DeleteI know! Most fun online I have had for ages...Geoff remains strangely silent though.
