At heart, scootering is all about adventures on (relatively) low-capacity motorcycles. If you can accept that as a definition, then this is probably the best book you’ve never heard of.
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.
