Dropped my scooter in this week for a service at Retrospective Scootersprior to commuting to work by Vespa from April; a good idea to get it given a good once over before getting back in the saddle.
The scooter scene accommodates a wide variety of tastes - if Mod, restos or customs aren’t your thing, then maybe ‘Mad Max’ style street racers with monster engines hanging out of them is..!
I returned to work yesterday after two weeks off; hence the News Page for August looking a little bare. A week was spent camping in Moreton, Dorset and the rest was spent at home in West Herts.
Federico Savogin, celebrated his 38th birthday in style last Sunday with a ride that circled Mount Vesuvius, as well as taking in the Bay of Naples and stretches of the Amalfi coastline - what a way to celebrate!!
JOURNAL No.79 featured this lovely first series GS150 VS1 brought back to life by VVC Chairman, Roger Smith - here are some more photos of this exceptional GS.

Geoff Woodin’s previous scooters have all been large frame Vespas, mostly PX models. He recently purchased a Sprint 125 ABS, 2019 model - how do the two compare?
