20th November 2017

In the scheme of things, I suppose six years isn’t too long a time scale to produce a machine like this. The design, the fabrication of the liquid cooling, the engine build, the frame modifications, the paint and graphics — not to mention actually finding the money needed — all take time.

Scooter sales had already peaked in Britain by the mid-1960s – led by the likes of the Lambretta and Vespa.

“COMRADESHIP – IMAGINED BY MANY, EXPERIENCED BY FEW” The AFSC has been through several incarnations, most recently becoming part of the support network for Armed Forces Veterans.

This is one of the most personal scooters that I’ve had the privilege to write about, one that represents much more than an interest or an idea. Paul Hunter’s Spanish Li125 custom is entirely based on his family, and is dedicated to the memory of the members of it that he has lost. A true…

Milan, 1980s. A slender man sits in the waiting room outside the office of Innocenti’s chief executive. An hour later he’s sent away: the boss won’t see him. Weeks later, he’s back and this time it’s three hours before he’s told to leave. But he won’t give in. He’s driven by one desire: to create…

“When they kick at your front door How you gonna come? With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun” John Graham Mellor (aka Joe Strummer) was born August 21, 1952, and shuffled off this mortal coil on December 22, 2002, and I for one was gutted. I loved The Clash,…

26th October 2017

During the mid-1980s Lambretta restoration was seen by most as a novelty. With the rally scene in Britain at its peak most owners had little interest in returning one back to its former glory.
