Amen to that, nowt like it......

However I do appreciate the proper Vespa and Lambretta's and some of them are just awesome. My brother in law and sister were into them in a big way in the 80's and he had some lovely ones. I used to read Scootering mag too as they were always in the house.
When they got married a lot of their friends turned up on their Lambretta's and Vespa's, combined with some of the local football hooligans, NF skinheads and some HA it made for an interesting but good day
