PAT

EXCELLENT ADVICE FROM AN EXPERIENCED RIDER

Murray

Pat is the man with more riding experience than pretty much anybody else here at the store.  Pat was a postie for over 13 years, so he clocked up about 15,000 hours riding, just while on the job.  And of course he has his own scoot on top of that, so he's probably done just over a billion kilometres..

Pat is terrific at handling customer inquires and is a great listener.  His main role here at the store has a sales focus, but he is also responsible for our shop layout, and does a terrific job of showcasing all of our products.  He also rides regularly with the Northern Beaches Scooter Club, so you will often find him down here making coffees on the third Sunday of the month.

Here's what Pat said when I interviewed him recently for 60 seconds with Pat

Name:
Pat

Age: between 21 and 60

Favorite movie of all time: The original version of the Italian Job.  I just love those Minis, and of course Quadrophenia as the story line and sound track are terrific

Worst Movie of all Time?
Anything with an American comedian.  Espescially Jim Carey

What was the last book you read? Murray Walker - Autobiography.  Interesting guy

What do you like about the scoot? 
Its very comfortable to ride and has great acceleration.  I like the looks too.

Ignoring any budget, what scoot would you choose as an every day ride? My 400 and the Vespa GTS 300ie.  The Vespa is just a classy, riders scoot.

What is it about riding scoots that you like the most?
I like the fact that they are relaxing to ride, and also like the history and nostalgia that comes with scooter riding
