Lovely Catania dealer transfer sticker, spotted on a spare front mudguard.

Club member Dave Watson has got his winter nights sorted..

Club member Sean Conway sent in these great photos, following my request on previous post.

Christian Seidl of SIP first met Isabelle in Belfast, at Vespa World Days. This year, with friends, she came to Zell am See for the Vespa Alp Days.

The European Scooter Challenge ESC returned to the traditional and popular Harzring track for the last race of this year’s championship. Reason enough for SIP to travel there with a camera-team and a racing scooter.

VVC member, Peter Burley, has been busy of late organising online/virtual road trials and treasure hunts.

Having not ridden for 3 weeks, I thought I’d give the scoot a run.

VVC Chairman, Roger Smith, took a trip over to Allstyles Scooters earlier in October on the hunt for parts for his MK1 GS160 which he’s working on this coming winter.

A gathering of fine Spanish ladies.

An early morning start allowed Warren Jopson to take this lovely shot of his GS, sharing this former runway with a Boeing 747 no less..!

Bernd Kirschner from Hola Vespa, has just returned from holidaying in Calabria, one of Italy’s southernmost regions.

“Among the Mediterranean islands, Corsica stands out. Most Europeans do not have it on the top of their list of holiday islands, though maybe they should…”

While my 1974 Motovespa GT160 was in for a service I also got some new rubber fitted, with a pair of new bgm Classic tyres.

I collected my Motovespa GT160 the other week following a service at Retrospective Scooters and while there got a close look at this very tidy, original paint 1965 150 Sprint.

Early start this morning, leaving home at 6.30am, dropping my Vespa off at Retrospective Scooters.

I returned from a week’s camping near Stroud on Saturday. Our usual vehicle that we take camping was out of action; fortunately I did have another I could use.
