Remember that lovely retro poster for the Awfully Pleasant Scooter Associations’ Teme Valley Rally? No? You should really pay more attention! Here it is. And here’s a little vid of the event, from Dominic Hinde, otherwise known as The Scootographer, somebody else who’s work I’ve featured before.
Check out more of Dominic’s work on his website.

Nice video on YouTube, posted by Pintrest on how creating a Pintrest board of images you like can inspire you. Once you’ve watched the video, you can follow Brandon’s board here, (and follow my Lambretta one if you like). Then, if you like what you see, why not create your own?
Nice little video to promote their cord dessies.
The film title says Hong Kong Teddy Boys… but they’re not quite Teds as I remember them. Seriously cool scooters, whatever they are… can anybody Id them (the scooters, not the actors!)?

But then a again… you wouldn’t… but if you were stuck at the side of the road with a hole in your piston and had to get home, and there’s a handy dumpster nearby…
This one gets bodge of the year (so far). If you know a better one, send me a link.
10/10 for ingenuity!
Looks fun!

Anybody who attended a scooter rally in the 80’s or 90’s will know the name Tony Class. A larger than life character who loved the scene, the music and the scooters, Tony was one of the few who kept the scene going through difficult times. He sadly lost his battle with illness last month. Scootering magazine has written a piece here.
My condolences to his family and many friends.
These videos are worth a watch too.
RIP Tony.
One day, we’ll all be riding around on eco-friendly electric Lambrettas (like this one)… but until then, there’s nothing like the smell of 2 stroke, catching in the back of your throat and the unique sound of a Lambretta engine. It’s something only Lambrettisti understand!
This video from Rui Tavares in Portugal captures it perfectly. Loving that orange crankcase side too.
If you’re off to Whitby this weekend, have fun. If your’e riding you’re Lammie from Johannesburg to Durban, have fun too. In fact have fun and ride safe whatever you’re doing! Happy Easter!
Washing the Lammie… sounds like a euphemism, or is that just my mucky mind? Anyway here’s a nice little vid, selling t-shirts, and I can’t think of a better way of selling them than getting an attractive young lady to wear one while washing a Lambretta. Brought to you by the guys at Scooterist.
