Going through a mid-life crisis so recently purchased a Vespa. When Ivstarted the process of doing my bike test, it was my first time on 2 wheels in 35 years and I love it.
Anyone on here share my love of scooters (Vespa or Lambretta)?
Depending on region might be fun to meet up? |

"Was thinking of a cheap Chinese vespa rip off"
I have a friend at work that has a Chinese scooter type thing.. no idea what it is but it's about 4 months old and it's rattling to bits already.
Maybe a better bet for you is the Indian lml they look good and I'm told are built well. |

I have always driven scooters, since 1997.my first Vespa was a 150 4T...it was replaced very soon cause it was too light for the engine, with small tyre, i drive now a burgman 650... Scooters are fun indeed. |

Still lambrettas & that smell of two stroke that does it for us ,plus the satisfaction of travelling all over the UK & Europe on tuned up 1950s shopping bikes 
Definitely have to meet up with a few like minded folk sometime xxx |

"Any of you scooterists into the northern soul scene and Allnighters or are you mainly mods ?"
For us it's more ska based music we also love the softer punk like SLF and the ruts, undertones. |

Would love a scooter but don’t have the money or courage at the moment!
Enjoy the northern soul, ska, mod scene just now, plenty nights out organised regularly - off to a scooter clubs annual do this Saturday!
It is a scene that embraces everyone and people are always happy to meet new people - so welcoming!

So very true about the scooter scene and as for scootering, it's not the cheapest hobby/way of life but possibly the most fun. X |

I was on the scene in the 80's and 90's.
2 GP 200's one with a DJ 225 kit and custom murals and Crome. Various 150 supers, PX's 125's and 200's and a T5.
First rally Skegness October 84 but can't remember the last one.
I swapped to bikes in the mid 90's but had one of the last P200's in Australia 4 years ago for old times sake lol.
Anyone who thinks they might know me come say hi? |
