Told you there’d be scooters. Amazing vid from one of the lucky few who rode around the Olympic Stadium on Sunday night.

Lambretta Video
Don’t know much about Dario Todisco who created this vid, but he’s done a nice job. If this is 25%, I can’t wait to see the other 75!

344cc Twin cylinder Lambretta
From PM Tuning. It will do 130mph, or about 70mph if I was on it!
Around Rome on a classic Lambretta…
From the series Drake’s Passage – where pro motorbike rider Drake McElroy tours the world and does stuff. In this episode he visits Bologna and rides a Ducati, then onto Rome where he goes to gladiator school. But readers of this blog might want to skip all this stuff and skip to 5:18 point in the video where he rides a classic Lambretta around Rome. The most authentic part of it all is where you see him pushing and bumping the Lammy… classic!

Another nice Lambretta rally vid… this one’s from Indonesia
With a classic Happy Mondays soundtrack. Good stuff.
Check out the Lambretta Club of Indonesia’s Facebook page here.
Possibly the best scooter club rally video yet?
If you know anybody who doesn’t ‘get’ the whole scooter ‘thing’… get them to watch this video. If they still don’t get it, there’s no hope for them. Created for the Lebowski Scooter Gang, it’s to highlight their 7th Camuno Scooter Rally, 29th June – 1st July 2012. It looks like it’s going to be a pretty cool event – set within medieval castle walls with all the usual music, fun and froclics that accomany these things… I wish I could go! More about the event; here. (In Italian, but hey, there’s always Google Translate).
Back to the video… doesn’t that GP look great in front of all those Vespas! (there’s another Lambretta in the pack too). And if this isn’t the coolest vid produced by a scooter club, let me know what is, and I’ll feature it on the blog.

Nice Lambretta Video “Journey Mr Who by Innocenti”
Not sure of the story behind this vid… I suspect it’s a music video… and it’s tagged “indonesia” so I reckon that’s where it originates from. The mod/scooter scene looks pretty vibrant!
Lambretta – the movie
Not sure of the provenance of this fine piece of footage, if you follow this link it will take you to Peter Janovick’s YouTube page, but it looks to me like it’s been taped off the telly at some point in the late ’90’s. If it was, it passed me by on it’s original airing… and the late 90’s has itself become a bit of history I suppose. God I feel old sometimes!
Anyway, if you know a bit about Lammies, it’s an interesing 26 minutes, and if you’ve stumbled across this website somehow without knowing about Mr Innocenti’s fine creations, it’s virtually essential viewing.
Hover scooters
Well it’s 2012, and I’m a bit pissed off. Where are the flying cars we were promised on Tomorrows World? Instead 2012 cars are pretty much like 1960’s cars, except with air con, ABS, an lots less personality.
Then there were the hoverboards from “Back to the Future” …although I was never good enough on a regular skateboard to make having a hoverboard part of my wishlist. A hover scooter though… hmm… that’s a different kettle of fish… wouldn’t mind one of those. Mind you, I don’t think I’d fancy owning the one in the Pathe movie… it’s more “back to the drawing board” than “Back to the future”!
