    Scootering classics: LML 125 Star DLX

    Somehow screaming a 50cc scooter up to 50mph is exhilarating , but riding a 125 at restricted speeds no higher than that is not. Psychological I know, but nevertheless true. Back in April 2008 Eddy Bullet loaned us at Scootering a brand new 125cc LML Star DLX scooter for long term road test. Manufactured in…

    Piaggio and the Vespa

    by

    Back in 1946, a company called Piaggio launched a motor scooter called the Vespa. At the time, there was a possibly a minority of people in the UK that had heard of Piaggio, but I’d wager that the news of an Italian mechanical wasp made no impact at all in Great Britain. But why would…

Granted that’s maybe not the best way to describe myself I (or some of my scoots), but it’s not me or mine under I the spotlight here, it’s Geert and his classic Vespa. Granted, a beautiful golden paintjob, complete with flames, is not exactly subtle, especially when…

    Made in Great Britain

    by

    Can we go scootering from head to toe in British-made products? We have plenty of readers who were around in the Fifties and Sixties, and they will no doubt remember when the scootering industry was thriving on these shores. But is there anything still made in Great Britain today? Pick up a copy of an…
