Scooter(s) owned: Lambretta GP

In Your Own Words:Started scootering in the early 70’s. Can’t even remember what I was riding. Probably a Series 2, which would have had the panels thrown off it so it looked cool, compared to the ultra-cool Series 3 machines some were riding. Later had an “F”-reg. 150 Special, which I acquired by buying a number plate and logbook off somebody and bolting it to my scoot to make it look newer. Before getting it MOTd and taxed, I also fitted a 200 engine which I had purchased from a well-known scooter racer who later went on to own a scooter shop. Unfortunately, this had had the engine number ground off it …Round came PC Plod, saying that the scooter had been a write-off and he needed to inspect it. He was well-chuffed when he found the “missing” engine number, so I stripped the engine down, taking all my parts out of it and he took it away. A week later, he brought it back, saying it wasn’t stolen. I had to re-register the scooter and ended up with an “M”-reg, OJK 2M. This was my road and race bike for several years. Raced at Cadwell Park, Snetterton, Croft …Did the Isle of Man scooter week four years running, from 1973 to 1976, 3 years as a sidecar passenger and the last year as a solo rider …Parked the scoot up at my dad’s while I went abroad to work for 20 years, but eventually he told me to get rid of it, so I sold the entire Jabcave for £50 … Fool …Mrs. J. encouraged me to buy another scooter in 1997 and she’s been cursing ever since …

Scooter(s) owned: Lambretta SX

In Your Own Words: I first got into scooters in 1978, bought an SX200 off a lad at work for £50. Had various scooters over the years (mainly Lammies) but including a P200E. Sold all my scooters & parts in the early 90's, got back into the scene in 2000 when I bought the Lammy I currently own (in bits) to restore. all work carried out by myself.

In Your Own Words:  First started at the age of 14. Got a lammie Cento for £5 sold it a fortnight later for a tenner, and its been downhill ever since. Fast forward to 2006, 52 lammies and 4 vespas later I'm still riding. First proper rally was Scarboro 78 and then Scarboro Easter 79  mass invasion of scoots bloody marvellous. Did all the major rallies in the 80`s including Keswick, IOW, Ayr, Prestatyn etc. Stopped doing the big ones when the trouble started (ie Desmond Decker trouble and racism). Do most rallies as and when money permits. Current scoot is lammie gp chop that's at the blasters and chromers and should be back just before xmas or just after, then its time to build it I'm also in the process of building a nice 200 race engine that should go well in the chop. So here i am at 42 approx 26 years of riding later still no wiser, but richer in the friends I've made over the years. Carrying on as long as i can, because you're a long time dead

CURRENT FECKABOUT CHAMPION, 2007

Fecker Username: Bendix01

Location: Woking, Surrey

Scooter(s) owned: Lambretta Li 1965

In Your Own Words: Got into scoots as a punk in the 80's due to seeing them everywhere in Woking. Ended up watching THE film and turning mod. That passed after a year or two and I stuck with scoots for another year or two before the Rave scene hit and I was swept away. However I still had the tattoo so they never left me (Literally).
Saw a couple of scoots crack past in traffic, smelt two stroke, bought a copy of scootering, 3 months later bought scooter and have ridden her every day for 3 years rain or shine and smile like a child each and every time.
Left wife, kept scoot. Love em!
Scoots I have had: PK50, Primmy 125, Starstream 125, Rally 200 (oh how I miss that one), Lamby Polo, and current one.

In Your Own Words: Got into scootering through being a 3rd generation Mod at school in '79, saw Quad, loved the music, clothes and all that.  Had a Vespa 100 at 17 which I came off twice and my mum made me sell it, forgot about it for years, learnt to drive and all that, then fancied another scoot a few years ago, bought the T5 then the Lammy and the rest is history

Location: Sutton Coldfield

Scooter(s) owned: Lambretta Li125 Series II

In Your Own Words: Had my first scooter in about 1966. Series 3 LI125, registration 416 BJU. Cost me 59 guinea's. That's £59 & 59 shillings to you youngsters. Had it stolen, then recovered minus side panels. Got it back with new panels and passed my test, after which I rode for about 2 years in all weathers, then sold it for £25 after passing my car test. About three years ago my nephew was selling a Vespa PX125. So I bought it and rode it for one summer. First day at work one of the young guys in IT nick named me Mod Father, and it stuck. I enjoyed the summer riding to and from work so much that I decided I wanted another Lammy. So I bought my current and probably only restoration project. I really like the round and chunky shape of the series 2. I also like the admiring glances of pedestrians and other drivers. Wonder how much longer I will be riding for?

Scooter(s) owned: Lambretta Li150 Series 1, GP240

In Your Own Words: Hi All, I first got into the scooter scene in 1980 whilst still at school. It really set in after seeing some of the local scooterists of the time (The Goole Gladiators) just returning home from the infamous Keswick Rally. They looked really cool riding their Lambrettas down the main road laden with their doss-bags and tents etc. I bought my first scooter in 1981, which was a Garelli Capri 50s, quite rare and different to my other mates' Vespa 50 Specials. I then progressed on to my first 'real' scooter, a Lambretta GP150 which I rode to a few rallies in 1983. I think I was the only Punk to ride a scooter in my town at the time, which was a novelty. I joined the B-52's Scooter Club of Goole in 1982, they were a few of the GGSC members that decided to form their own club and proved to be quite successful over the years. I've done the majority of National scooter rallies every year ever since 1982, including a couple of Euro rallies, Strasbourg 1989 and Den Haag in Holland 1991 (although we rode upto Amsterdam first)! and Holiday in Holland 2003. I'm at last starting to 'slow down' with the events these days as there are too many in my opinion now. I prefer quality not quantity and deffo no caravan rallies !!! Its great to be in an Internet based scooter club such as the WKFA SC because you can still talk scooters and related stuff whilst sat at home with a beer or two.

Scooter(s) owned: Lambretta LiS186

In Your Own Words: Got into Soul Music around 1977 and attended various local DO's would see the older lot on scooters, then the revival started and York SC used to meet on at the pub near where Iived if they where going away for the weekend. About 100 scoots would be cramped into the car park. Started to read up on what Mods where all about, and I was hooked. When I started work in 82 saved like hell to get a scoot, but was enrolled in a driving course at work, passed the test first time, so bought a car with the money saved. so that was it never got a scoot .. but never forgot them, kept promising one day I would get one, after getting a promotion at work in 2000, I saved some money and in 2002 bought the scoot I own today

Scooter(s) owned: 1966 silver special Lambretta, 1982 Vespa p200e

In Your Own Words: A newcomer to the scene really always wanted a Lambretta and managed to find one that I could afford on scooter auctions a few years ago needing plenty of work. It's almost done now but being at uni I lacked the funds to complete it. I've now graduated so hopefully can get a job soon and finish it. I've been into the music a lot longer, saw Quadrophenia as a youngster and my older cousins were into the mod revival scene, my mum used to take me down to Scarborough seafront to see all the scooters and she took me to see Bad Manners when i was 10. I've seen Weller a few times, never got to see The Jam, my favourite band of the time were The Beat. I also like Motown and Northern and did my final dissertation at uni on mod culture and its progression through society.

Scooter(s) owned: 1964 Lambretta Li 186 Mugello,  1985 Lambretta GP 225 Mugello

In Your Own Words: Hi, I am Nige from York. Got my first scooter in 2003.
This is the Li that I still own. Have always had motorbikes in the past, but
at the time I could not afford a bike, so I thought I would get a scooter to
keep up my no claims bonus on my insurance. The theory was that the scooter
would be cheep to run and maintain and would hold its value. How little did
I know. Before I had got the Scoot home it had seized twice. Finally killed
the engine when I took my girlfriend out on the back of it later that day.
A 3 mile walk home ensued. I then undertook a full nut and bolt restoration
of the scooter doing all the work myself and taking 6 months ish. During
this time I met a couple of members of my local scooter club The York Inset.
Started going to meetings and did some local rideouts when the Li was on the
road. Took my girlfriend on some of these and she wanted to be more
involved, so I promised to build her up an Indian GP from a wreck. Many
lessons were learnt during this rebuild. eg. when you buy one of these
GP's, there is not very much off them you can actually use. Would probably
been as well just buying a frame and building it up with new parts. The GP
is now on the road and Nicole has passed her bike test. So we are now both
fully fledged scooterists. We did the LCGB Coast to Coast in 2005 and
various other rideouts. This year we have so far only done a couple of
rideouts and the Yorkshire Invasion. Have met various Feckers, but could do
with venturing darn sarf to meet some of the soufern Feckers.

Scooter(s) owned: Lambretta Li150

In Your Own Words: First interested in scooters at the age of 12/13 in '82 and used to hang around the older mods trying to get a look at their scoots. Became a full on casual boy for the next decade and a half before deciding to return to scooters after circumstances decided following football was no longer an option. A GP, Vespa Super and a few series 3's later and I decided that I wanted to build my dream scooter inspired by those featured in Scootering decked out in original accessories so a li150 was bought and the creation of the overpriced tat shineytosser machine was underway. Can't remember when I first decided to wander from the lcgb to the wkfa site but it was a few years back now and in its early days with just a few feckers and jabba calling me a gobby little shite , although viceroys pet name "shineytosser" seems to be the one that's stuck. Being down in the deepest south and working weekends means I'm unable to ever get any fecker points but i make sure the time's not wasted as I use it to polish my chrome ready for the IOW each year. Goals for the future are to obtain more overpriced nos shiny bits and to get scumdog to join the union and become a union activist.

In Your Own Words: First became interested din scooters in mid sixties when my sister boyfriend used to let me bump start his GS160. Got first scooter Li150 series 3 (EAR175B) in 1970, passed my test in the summer and bought an SX200 (DJH63F) for £25 later that year. Cars and university meant I last rode in about 1973, till 2002 when having gone through marriage kids etc found myself working in London, watching the scooters round the West End reminded what a great time I had as a teenager. Bought a new PX200 in April 2002 but couldn't resists getting a Lambretta. Now enjoy tinkering with the scooters and meeting up with feckers.

Scooter(s) owned: 1965 Lambretta Li125S with 186 Mugello

In Your Own Words: I originally got into scooters back in 1969/70 when I owned numerous lammies including a TV175 and GT200. Back then I was in the Felixstowe Coasters scooter club and attended various rallies and race meets at Southend, Romford, Luton, Snetterton and Yeovil before discovering 4 wheels and dropping out of the scene (apart from a few months commuting in 1980 on the TV before I finally sold it).
Fast forward to 2004 and my wife decided to buy me a Lambretta for my 50th.

In Your Own Words: I am a new comer to the scene (2004), saw a ride-out  organised by Huddersfield Scooter Club with hundreds of scooters and thought I want some of that it looked great. Bought myself an LI125 and started doing rallies up and down the country. Jabba gave me an introduction to the Feckers and I haven't looked back since, met a lot of great people up and down the country (literally having done Landsend to John o'groats).

In Your Own Words: Since I have been living in Malta I have had loads of Lambrettas 'cos they were a lot cheaper than the UK. That is not the case these days as we are catching up with the rest of the world. My current project is restoring a GP in black paint work and chrome parts. I have some Lambretta parts due to breaking a few bikes and buying some old stock from an ex-dealer. Anyone from the club who might need some hard to get original part, please feel free to drop me an email and I will try to help source it from this end.

(The 1968 SX 200 and the 1959 Imola Framebreather were not present on Photograph day).

In Your Own Words: I went to a few Morecambe rallies in the early 80's when I was younger but never on a scooter. Mates had them but I was an off road motorcycle racer and travelled the world doing that. People used to laugh when I turned up at a race meeting with Scootering magazine in the truck. I used to go home and my Mum would say "You have 2 Honda enduro bikes and a Beta trials bike in the garage and you want a Lambretta!"  When I stopped racing and moved out I bought a Lambretta and that was it. 20 years of building and prepping 2 strokes for racing stood me in good stead for doing Lambretta engines. I am in Preston Wildcats and have been since it was reformed, Its a good club with just enough members. I have built most of the Lambretta engines for the mates in the club and even 3 or 4 of their Scooters from the ground up.  I also ride in the World Famous Purple Helmets Stunt team, A comedy stunt act who ride Honda C90's and do death defying stunts at speeds approaching 100 miles an hour. We have a couple of DVD's out and if you get chance to see them have a look as its a bit different. www.thepurplehelmets.com you might have seen us on Telly on Men and Motors, And before you ask I am not the one naked on the Piano or the one with a traffic cone up my arse!

In Your Own Words: Got into scootering in the early 80’s, did the scooterboy bit, cutdowns, scooter runs, kung fu slippers.. A member of Against all odds scooter club (Canterbury). Helped produce the ‘scooterthing’ fanzine which enjoyed some small level of popularity (even had a few bits in scootering itself). Got into racing for a while, without much success, I think that the late 80’s was the halcyon days of racing, large grids, good range of circuits, cheap(ish) to take part, fantastic talent around (Webster, kerr, frankland(s), kemp, west, booth, caldecutt, hinsley, saxelby, etc, etc, etc)… although I have been through the usual trail of mortgages, marriages, kids, divorces, I have always kept a scooter or two even though the opportunities to ride and tinker have often been fairly sparse… I am now hoping to redress the balance and scoot into glorious middle age..

Scooter(s) owned: Lambretta GP225 1970.....TV175 1965

In Your Own Words: It all started for me in the early 80s with a impulse buy of a 1970 GP200, I quickly joined up with The Harrogate Incrowd and had a couple of years of doing all the scooterboy type stuff. When the new laws came into effect about "L"plates and not being able to ride a 200 with them on I couldn't be bothered with taking the bike test (mistake no.1) I sold the Lambretta (mistake no.2) and regretted it straight away, vowing one day I would own another. Skip forward many years, after the kids thing, mortgage and bills thing, along comes the big "40" timed nicely with a tax rebate from those nice Inland Revenue folk. A couple of days later at a mates birthday do I get chatting to one of the lads from back in the 80s and how he is right back into the Lambretta thing. After the conversation I knew where the tax rebate was going. Scootering magazine was bought and the GP I have today was bought, from a bloke in Farnborough, a 150 model again a 1970 reg in need of some "bringing back to life" The rest of the rebate was spent towards getting the bike to how it is today, with paintwork done by an old primary school friend Geoff Selby who owns his own paint spraying business Fine Finish, and chromework done by Midas Touch's Trev Harrison. After a few engine size changes it's now a Mugello 225, 30mm Dell`orto, varitronic. I have to call myself lucky in the fact that the bike has won a few trophies, the last was at the LCGB Isle of Man rally where I was lucky to win the Edwin Starr memorial shield for "Best Lambretta on the island".

Scooter(s) owned: GP150 Lambretta

In Your Own Words: I was first hooked on scooters when I was about 14/15 I bought a vespa, not sure what model I used to rip up & down my parents back lawn (my dad did laugh) I used to take it apart just for fun and put it back together again, a year or two later my elder brother got what I think was a series three Lambretta li 125 which I used to lust after. Not long after that I found an ld scooter in a back garden on the edge of a building site I used to work on. I plucked up courage to go and knock, an old lady came out I asked her about the scooter, she said it was her sons and she would be glad to see the back of it she even found all the paper work for it. I pushed it all the way home nearly four miles when I got home my old man went ape he said it was a pile of junk, so me and my brother set to work on it, it was now a challenge!! We got it running in no time, mot and on the road all in a couple of weeks, that scooter lasted me a couple of years. I always said I would get another one but never did until last year, I don't know what happened but I got interested then I just had to find one, also the idea of rebuilding one seemed a good idea at the time (FOOL)....12 months later, sorted.

In Your Own Words: First noticed lammys in about 1968 at the age of 10 when I lived in Southport and used to see all the Scouse & Manc scooters come in at the weekend. Later my older sister used to hang around with the crowd and they’d come to our house so there would always be about 6 Lambrettas parked outside. Was gutted when the law changed and I then had to wait until 17 until I could get a scoot. Started going to Wigan Casino about 6 weeks after it opened at the age of 15. Got my first scooter as soon as I was 17, LI150 Series II for a tenner. After a few months seized it and got a TV175 III for £12.50. I sold it a year later when I joined the Navy. Was given an SX200 in 1981 but never legally had it on the road and sold it for £10. Waited until 1997 until I got my present one, an import that I did a quick restoration on. Got it professionally restored last year & added the 175 kit. Still Northern Soul fan although I don’t get anywhere very often. I get around as much as circumstances allow. Although I am out on my scooter most days and all weathers because I feckin' love it!

In Your Own Words: Bought a used S2 Li 150 when I was 16, had a lot of fun with it, also passed my test on it.  I sold it once I'd passed my car test in 1968.  I bought my Li Special in 2003 and finally finished restoring it in April 2006.  I am now enjoying riding it as often as I can.  My next project will be getting the GP road worthy so I can have it MOT'd and registered.

In Your Own Words first scooter was a 1970 GP 200 it was 6 months old when i got it, the first owner was a spoilt rich twat that fell of it on the first day and never rode it again. i bought it for £210. I bloody loved it and had some great times with it in New Brighton where i also worked in the bright spot arcade fixing the fruit machines. Met my first wife at the bowling alley, great posing down the prom on my gleaming white scooter with a beautiful, long black haired girl on the back (no crash hats needed) i had 2 mates in Birkenhead Roy and Lloyd. Roy had an sx 150 Lloyd a TV175 that he was forever falling off the three of us where driving home from New Brighton over the four bridges when Lloyd got his wheels jammed in the tram lines and couldn't steer probably the only time he should have fell off deliberately. Happy days great times. got back in to Lambrettas about 5 years ago when i got a GP to restore from laughing boy needs a new spray job the guy i got to do it didn't do a very good job. 2 years later i purchased a "SX200" from laughing boy that was supposed to be a total restoration, Mac has since done the job properly just needs the front disc doing. then last year my boss got me an LI 125 s2 as a bonus, wonder what I'll get this year. At the moment Mac and i are doing out a garage for are scooters. Oh and I'm sworn to secrecy and i will not tell anyone that Mac has a twist and go.

I dont class myself as a mod, scooterboy, punk or any of that, I just enjoy the people, the music, the women and the beer.
I've met some great people through scooters and, to me, that's as good a reason as any to be involved in the scene!

As they are addictive, I now have three, and the Missus has now said enough, no more.

but it just wasn't a Lambretta that I'd always wanted so after restoring the
Vespa I purchased my Li. I've always followed the scene from a distance but
never had the money to own a lammy 'til the last couple of years. You won't
find me on rallies cos of family commitments but do try to get along to
various parts fairs etc. I do attend my local club when I can ( SAS in

Did the rallies of the eighties but I ended up selling them all in 1990, bar the mini, to Roger for £1,000 before he made his money at TASS. Left the scene cos of a break up in a relationship, got back into it recently and brought two curry burners which are being done up. One TS1'ed the other I don't know yet, more scoots will follow..........

In Your Own Words: I have always been into transport on two wheels, from a very early age I was brought up on old British motorcycles, which I suppose set me in the right direction for a vintage vehicle. in 2001, "Lambretta Land" in York opened and we popped down to take a peek. After a lot of deliberation and "umming and ahhing", we came away with a Lambretta li125 series 3, which we have only just finished restoring!! I was not aware there was such a scooter scene, we presumed we would be the only ones in York with a scooter, how wrong we were!! I love everything about the scene: the variation in scooters and how most have the owners personal tastes on them, I like the music (northern soul) and I have met some of the nicest people possible through Lambrettas and the general scooter scene.

Fecker username: Little Ern

Scooters owned: GP185 Lambretta

In Your Own Words: Started in 1971 li150 series 2, 6" high legshields no panels but you never forget the first one £7.50 from a lad at college. Scroll on to 73 bought Charlie Downs' TV200 for £25.00 no panels but chrome tanks and mudguard. 1974 bought a GP125 for 30.00 bent forks so stripped the engine and forks out of the TV which had an 1/8" cut out and welded back up. 1970/80 sells up after various colour schemes and some really sexy copper plating on the front mudguard, horncase and headset by Harkers of Leeds. Got £200 for it, sad day but I had a company van then. Scroll forward to 2004 married divorced married again (Did snow white bite the poison apple twice) grown up sons good lads too, unlike their dad. Camping with Carole at Seaford near Brighton so we see quite a few Lammies and a set of Vespas in the museum which got me buying Scootering, scroll on to November and we go to Whitley Bay custom show and parts fair, and there she is an Italian GP150 on Buzz's stall. Carole says shall i buy you it for your 50th? which was i the coming April, i says yes please (big daft grin) so she does love that woman to bits. Anyway Buzz gets a mot on it as part of the deal and delivers it saying be careful you old fart the brakes are dodgy anyway gets it registered 1969 "g" plate and off i go. Down to AF for shoes for it, then out of the back of the shop walks a bit of a fat lad and says is that you Ern? i say yes, it turns out to be Phil Braithwaite who i haven't seen for 28 years, you bought another one? yes i say yes he laughs and says i will come look it over tonight. But not before he shows me his picture in Rays parts book listed as a champion 200 rider, well blow me. That night round he comes and offers his skills and services at his garage if i want to? Oh yes do i want to. So we start one cold winters sat morning and strip it 6 weeks later i ride home the best Lammy in the world. Painted in his race colour of Ford radiant red. Phil also introduced me to Diamond White cider so after getting home with the bike booked 2 weeks in Betty Fords. Phi has opened a scooter shop in Darlington where i help out passing spanners and making the coffee so that's about it really. Many thanks to Carole i love you to bits, I'm also 30 years younger. Phil if you ever master a computer and read this you're a top bloke and i would do anything to help you. Ruby's her name and she is not for sale or ever likely to be!

The End    

(sorry for the waffle) now where has that can of Diamond white gone?

In Your Own Words: Was into scooters in the late 60's as a mode of transport and a social thing... scooters i owned back then were Li150, series 2,  Li 150 special, GP 150. Gave up scootering when the scene started to die and i moved to London ... then got married a couple of times etc ... before settling down here in Kent.
 It was my wife's suggestion that i get a hobby, so i tapped in "Lambretta" as a search on the PC and the rest is history!!... two weeks later i picked up a 1962 series 3 li150 from Enrico in Oxford...
The restoration took 18 months, but i was in Lambretta heaven, and just loved every aspect of the rebuild.
made some mistakes (got a "dealer" to rebuild the engine), but also made some good friends thru this and other sites, and also joined the local club (South Kent Saints) .. brilliant lot and we all help each other.... the whole thing surrounding the rebuild was a fabulous experience, and i was truly smitten, so i know own a further 3 scoots, a series 2 which i got from Sam in Belgium and a Spanish series 2 Li ..... then picked up a Triumph Tina, mainly cos my dad had one!!
 So that's where we are now, a shed just for my hobby, lots of spares, lots of tools and some very good friends .. oh, and 4 scooters!!

In Your Own Words: Was a Two-Tone Rude Boy/Skinhead at school, got into punk later on at school, then into Psychobilly 1985 or so. At school a few of my mates were Mods and ended up getting scooters when they left school. The whole scooterboy/wreckin crew thing was going on and I got myself a PX kitted up with MDP180 and a Fresco. Before long it was getting customised. It all kind of went from there. First rally was Margate ‘86 and pretty much did most of them from that point 'til about 1992 by which time was getting pretty tired and bored of it all, same old same old, just more and more right wing skinheads every where and the same venues/music.
Started going to Reading Festival instead of IoW for August Bank Holidays and then pretty much got out of doing the rallies because festivals, indie and dance music took over for the next few years.
My best mate from school, one of the aforementioned Mods at school, ended up taking me on the back of his scooter to Modrapheniacs 2002 I think as he thought I could do with a weekend away, and that was it, back hooked again. I’d always had my scooters and always kept an interest in scooters, but something else came along and took me away for a while. Scootering, bit like Herpes, once you got it......

In Your Own Words: Way back in 1968 I had my first scooter, a Vespa 125, 8 inch wheels with a 3 speed gearbox, would have love to had a SS180 at the time, but could not afford it, from there it went onto cars
When I turn 50 back in 2002, while looking on e-bay I came across the scooter page and thought I have some of that
Why have I got a duck on my scooter?
Well, looking in me garage for a mascot of some sort i came across this plastic duck and thought to myself will it fit on me front rack so i fitted it to the rack thinking how long it will stay there, till some b-----d would pinch it
I was going to call my scooter "The Mallard" but as one is a member of Exit 17 there is another member with the same name as mine he is known as "Big Les" and as there is not a lot of difference between us in size so they started to call me "Les the Duck" and the rest is history as they say

In Your Own Words: I left Bournemouth recently, finished my studies, and returned home. Blah blah....Have boyhood memories of lambrettas. Film with Carry Grant scooting round italy, very cool. Elder brother had a mate Mick, original skinhead circa ´71 rode round on a white lammi, beautiful (the scoot). Got my own first li 125 in 1981, came to it from the punk ideals of individualism and a childhood sense that a lammi said feck you, but with style. And it was Mick, who had now progressed to a leather jacketed grebo and had old triumphs in his kitchen, that helped me out when I had problems. So 24 years later there I am thinking that I would like something that expressed me again, something with a sense of freedom & coolness, thought about a m/bike but then all the old balding fat feckers round here ride about on chromed up Harleys (when I say ride I mean they wheel them on to the drive and polish them) so it had to be a lambretta once again. Yeah baby, shagtastic.

Have been watching the WKFASC site for some time now have met a few Feckers & would like to join.  Here’s a bit about me. During the sixties I was just a couple of years too young to get a scooter (not that it would have been allowed anyway).  But I was a wannabe Mod. Eventually got a Vespa in 1973.  I’ve no idea what it was, but it only cost me £15 & was an absolute wreck.  Ran it until it died. In 2002 I was looking around a local motorbike “supermarket” (as you do) & was surprised to see a row of Vespa PX’s.  After lots of a lot of hand wringing & to the disgust of my daughters I went back & bought one.  I haven’t looked back since.
