We got invited to a 60's-70's Mods and Rocker Show but didn't really think it would be the done thing to turn up with new cars so had a ride over on our bikes.
















































I've included the pics of me and the bellend for a laugh

Kevin Frost from the Notts Group Won Best of Show with his MK1 RS2000, plus Steve and Jay would of loved it as they had a outdoor DJ playing Ska and Two Tone

Some cool toys there..

I was gong to say I bet most of them were road there. I'm in Darlington and think nothing of a jaunt to the Isle of Wight (ridden 330m) . Here's a pic loaded up for a recent rally this was only a 100m each way but all the same it was ridden.

They look mint mate, did notice the low level mirror was a popular mod

Looking at putting the Scooter Rally at Pod on the calendar for next year Steve

Dazts1

My mate normally does a few runs down at Santa pod. He's got one of the fastest road going lambretta's in the country. 10 k in the motor.

How much would it cost to buy something like yours ?

There was one there Sunday that without being rude was a road legal scrapper for £1200, surely you would need 6k+ to even begin thinking ?

Dazts1

It depends on what you want. There's that many variations in the scooter scene (as in any scene) italian , indian series 1,2 or 3 road rat(scrapper) , custom , streetracer ,mod or just a good old Arthur Francis 'S' Type which is my choice. You could probably pickup a good tuned lambretta between 4 to 6 grand. All be it with advice ! My scoot is like an old ford its worth what somebody will pay

Dazts1

Here's another pic of the scoot unloaded, and fully loaded for Kelso rally and we were twoup.

Nice to see and hear that they get used. I thought most of them would just be put in a van and took out at the show.

Dazts1

Don't get me wrong Glenn there will be some that do that. But we in Darlington scooter club pride ourselves on being a road going club. We do mainly national and lambretta club of GB rally's which are all road going miles from one end of the country to the other. Do you know any of the darlo boys or girls ?

reminds me so much of my youth these scooters, and to think we used to buy them for £50 now I need 20x that to even own one

The lines look smoother on the rear Daz as some can look quite bulky or fat, that is beautiful mate

Hindsight is a wonderful thing Steve, stuff we have thrown away

Retro is still best though it's all plastic fantastic nowadays

Dazts1

Hi Sinbad ,

thats a lambretta for ya long n sleek at the rear. Vespa's are the larger rear end ones your referring to.

yes hindsight is a wonderfull thing , nevermind would it really be anygood if we all were sat on a goldmine

I know it would help !

I see a few of these scootays up at morton park on a sunday every now and then.

Dazts1

Dazts1

There's a Steve Forster who does a lot of rally organising for VFM
