I’ve said before that scootering (that’s both Scootering magazine and the culture) is a very broad church that encompasses so many subcultures. But it can also be reflective of both the good and bad sides of modern life.
No list of mutated scooters would be complete without mentioning the Lamby Polo. Often described as ‘the ugliest Lambretta of all time’, its fans may be small in number, but so was its production life.
Military themed scooters aren’t unusual but very few depict the ‘small wars’ of the 1950s. As Stu Smith discovered, Gary Gould’s Lambretta is an exception to that rule.
In the first of an occasional series the good people at Ron Daley’s talk us through basic PX maintenance. This month Michael Daley tackles common indicator problems.
In 1953, at the time of Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation, scooters were already (just) a thing. If you were buying a new Lambretta to go and watch the pomp and ceremony, you’d have likely been buying a grey Lambretta LD.
What happens when you reach the top of the tree as a restorer of classic British motorcycles? If you’re Steve Robinson you turn to building insanely fast Scomadis.
