There’s some nice machines in the Britanny Ferries sponsored Retrozone at the Motorcycle Live. The star of the stand is clearly the “matching pair” of a ’64 150 Special and a ’74 Mk1 Escort RS2000… what a classic combo. There are also a brace of “Fizzies” and Fizzy competitors from Suzuki and Honda. All bikes I didn’t rate too highly ‘back in the day’ but they seem to have improved with age… or I’ve mellowed.
The Motorcycle Live show is on at the NEC, Birmingham, until the 1st of December.

Nicely set up shot by Adrian Hawkins of his lovely lammie “Lottie”, otherwise known as Crazy Banana. Taken at the Humber Bridge, (you can see a glimpse of it in the background) earlier this month. Via The Mod Generation site.
I was going to do another post on those modern Lambretta type thingies… but I need a proper Lammie on here first. And you don’t get much more proper than a ’63 TV Series 3. Lovely scoot… and clearly the inspiration behind the modern LN’s. But face it boys, no matter how hard anybody tries to recapture the essence of Lambretta, no modern machine will EVER look as gorgeous as this classic. Love the music too. Nobody, by The Human Beinz.
Nice 1967 125 Special with a Supertune paintjob for sale.
Specs look pretty good too… It’s had a complete rebuild by Scootopia in 2009 – around 600 genuine dry miles since then.
“Finished in Rover Metallic British Racing Green / Hawthorn White in Supertune Style. Working Smiths 120mph Speedo Stage 4 SIL 200 (Blank casing) LI150 Gearbox, AF Crank, 30mm Delly PHBH with Ram Air Filter, Brand New AF Clubman (New Style) – only done a couple of miles since fitting last year & sounds lovely. Original Innocenti Front Disc Brake Taffspeed Billet Ally Rear Shock
Scootopia Cut Back Ancilloti Seat (The waffle side type).
Lovely condition, has always been stored in a dry garage – has barely had any use over the last couple of years and has become an expensive ornament – would much rather it went to someone who’s going to make use of it.”
Just my cup of tea, to be honest, wish I had a few spare quid, I’d snap it up.
It’s for sale, in Cardiff, for £3,900. Which sounds about right to me.

Picked this up in a charity shop a while ago… just for the cover, but it’s got a picture story inside called “A Scooter to Sydney” which I might get round to scanning in one day!
Lovely ad for Starbuck Dark Italian Roast coffee… more of an ad for riding a classic scoot though really. Nicely done.
