WELCOME

Welcome to the January edition of Scootering

O

kay, so last month I did say that I was looking forward to winter because of a bunch of new scooter projects being on the horizon… but I was clearly high on two-stroke fumes, and the prospect of shiny stuff arriving. But reality has kicked in, now it’s cold, dark, and damp outside. The last week has also been a proper ‘pea-souper’ round here, terrible visibility due to mist and fog, which sucks. So I apologise for being overly enthusiastic about my winter projects, and getting detached from reality in terms of shite riding conditions… the ones which make my arse twitch every time I tip the Vespa into a bend and can see that horrible ‘greasy-sheen’ on the road. No I don’t mean Charlie Sheen, I mean that greasy film of tyre rubber and moist dew on the road which is the stuff of nightmares in my opinion.

I also neglected to get electricity installed in my new ‘man shed’ in time, and am now paying the price due to being held up a tad on my street-sleeper project, but you can read about that inside this issue. Pissing and moaning aside, the magazine has been a treat to put together this month… all Stan’s findings over in Vietnam have started rolling

in. They make for quite the read and will be rolled out over the next couple of editions.

As promised, Stu Owen has delivered part 1 of ‘Kev’s Chronicles’ as we embark on our tribute to Kev Walsh over the coming editions. We also have the latest newsfeed from the EICMA trade show in Milan, a plethora of stunning feature scooters, and an abundance of inspiring scooter stories from around the world (my favourite being Crazy 88 SC tour from Delhi to Taj). Anyway that’s enough of my ramblings, it’s another belter this month… enjoy the issue. Oh, and have a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and a great year of scootering in 2019!

KICKSTART

AGV SPORTMODULAR With the introduction of the Sportmodualr, AGV claims to have “rewritten the rulebook on flip up helmets”, creating a modular with the compact dimensions, low weight and the aerodynamic performance of a sports full-face helmet.

As is to be expected from a helmet in this price bracket, the Sportmodular’s loaded with safety and comfort features.

The former includes 190° vision, the same as human peripheral vision while the carbon fibre shell boasts a class-beating low weight of 1295g. In addition to being removable for cleaning the wicking interior is reversible offering both warm and cold weather options.

In use the Sportmodular is impressive, even at temperatures of 38°C opening the vents produced a welcome blast of cool air, although it

has to be said that opening the rear vent while riding in gloves is quite tricky. The pop down sun visor is effective even in bright light and the lining is easy to remove and fit. Like most flip up helmets there’s less space than inside a full face but the Pinlock visor’s effective at keeping fogging to minimum in most conditions.

Prospective buyers should note that the interior padding gives considerably in use and this should be born in mind when selecting the correct fit.

With an independent ‘SHARP’ rating of four stars, the Sportmodular isn’t just a good looking helmet it’s also one of the safest flip-ups on the market. It isn’t the cheapest on the market but helmets are one area where price really does reflect quality.

RRP: £599 More info: www.agv.com

WITH ORTLIEB AND ROK STRAPS, THE WORLD’S YOUR LOBSTER… There’s nothing worse than arriving at a hotel and finding that rain’s seeped into your luggage and the only way to be sure that doesn’t happen is with ‘roll top’ bags. Although they’re more popular with touring cyclists than scooterists, Ortlieb bags are among the very best on the market. Manufactured in Germany from hard wearing, weather resistant materials and featuring welded seams they may not be the cheapest on the market but they’ll give years of reliable service.

6 | SCOOTERING | JANUARY 2019

For some years Ortlieb’s motorcycle range has been distributed under the premium Touratech label but with patient searching it’s still possible to find Ortlieb branded motorcycle panniers at bargain prices on eBay. Finally, whichever marque of scooter you’re loyal to the Ortlieb packsacks sold at the LCGB shop are among the few true scootering bargains to be found anywhere.

RRP: from £51.99 More info: www.ortlieb.com

FITS LIKE A FURYGAN Experienced riders know that there’s no such thing as a completely waterproof glove but Furygan’s Sympatex Blazers come pretty close.

During the ride back from EuroLambretta in Spain Stan’s test pair were subjected to some of the most unpleasant riding in quite some time. It was only after six hours of riding in torrential rain that the gloves let in water and another hour before they reached saturation point. Against all expectations, the gloves regained their integrity after being force-dried on a towel radiator overnight, keeping rain at bay for another six hours. Through all this the liners remained in place when the gloves were removed. They’re fitted with carbon fibre knuckle protectors, lever feedback is good and the reflective panel is reassuring when giving hand signals in low light conditions. Although they do benefit from the addition of a pair of silk liners on cold days these really are an excellent piece of kit.

RRP: £119.99 More info: www.nevis.com

ROK ON!

Although bungee cords have long been the scooterist’s friend there’s a much better alternative. Unlike bungees, ROK straps are adjustable in length and their neat plastic ‘snap’ closure means that there’s no longer a risk of paint damage due to a catapulted metal hook.

They’re available in a variety of sizes to suit most applications, though make sure the set you’re buying are marked ‘adjustable’. They’re also sold in fixed lengths which aren’t quite so useful. The only down side to their plastic fastening is that they’re no good for securing a wayward exhaust. Otherwise they’re streets ahead of bungees in every way.

RRP: from £8.99 More info: www.rokstraps.com

VULCAIN BOMBER

Furygan’s three-in-one jacket’s been around for a while now but that doesn’t detract from the fact that it’s a well thought out touring jacket. The outer shell is a combination of three different grades of polyester that’s combined with Furygan’s own Skin Protect lining to offer maximum abrasion resistance.

There is D3O protection in the elbows and shoulder with an additional back protector pocket. Warmth is catered for by a thermal liner while a lightweight membrane keeps damp at bay.

Our test jacket’s been subjected to everything from torrential rain in the Pyrenees to ultra high temperatures in Vietnam and emerged with flying colours. Although the vents are largely ineffective with the linings in place, once

worn as a shell the jacket comes into its own. Unusually its vents run along the entire sleeve length, creating a very welcome breeze. In colder climes the thermal liner does exactly as promised, in fact this is a very warm jacket.

Although the outer shell can only take moderate rain showers the waterproof liner never failed and the waterproof pocket successfully kept an iPhone out of harm’s way.

The only point of note is that the vent zips have very fine teeth and although these are excellent at keeping out water they can become clogged with dust.

Overall this is an excellent jacket with a host of features that usually command a much higher price.

RRP: £309.99

KICKSTART NEW!

VESPA PX200 ENGINE CASES FROM MALOSSI

VE (UK) recently announced the upcoming release of both rotary valve induction, and reed valve induction casings from Malossi, which will provide the ideal foundation for building your next performance engine.

The rotary valve crankcase has the ability to reuse the standard SI series carburettors and retain the oil injection system, or can be used with larger carb kits if required. The reed valve crankcase is supplied with a reed valve manifold for carbs up to 30mm in diameter, and has been designed to use a much larger reed block that Vespa P200 read valve is equivalent in size to a six crankcase – VM577230. petal block.

The crankcases have some great advantages over the standard item, replacing the M7 bolts that hold the halves together and replacing them with M8 bolts, and reinforced bolt mounting areas for increased strength in critical areas. Furthermore, Malossi has arranged the transfer ports to line up perfectly with its Vespa PX200 cylinder kit range.

Vespa P200 rotary valve crankcase – VM577245.

With Malossi’s proud heritage in Vespa tuning, the new crankcases are sure to be a very popular starting point for those performance engine builders who find themselves looking for a combination of excellent reliability, with outstanding quality of finish.

There’s even a visor wipe on the left index finger.

KICKSTART SCOOTER WORLD 2019 COULD BREAK DISPLAY RECORD!

The Scooter World show at Newark Showground in January 2018 officially recorded 131 scooters being on display for the annual two-day event – and that record already looks like it might be broken in 2019.

At the time of going to press, there are only a couple of club stand spaces and around 10 private entry spaces left in the four retro halls, which appear to be filling-up faster than the other show halls at this ‘winter classic’ event.

In the spirit of keeping things fresh, there will be several ‘first-time’ club displays – including the Team S Equipe stand organised by well-known scooter sportsmen Norman and John Ronald, and on show on their stand will be a selection of stunning Lambretta S Types that everyone can drool over. And if you want to keep up with modern times while maintain a classic stance, then you might like the opportunity to try out Retrospective Scooters’ electric ‘Project E’ Smallframe Vespa.

Returning for 2019 will be Scomadi (who will be displaying their latest scooter range, alongside future innovations); also making a return appearance will be Mod Radio who again will be broadcasting live around the world, as well as keeping everyone in the retro halls entertained.

If you’re quick, then you might be lucky

enough to bag one of the remaining stand places at the show (which can be booked via www.classicbikeshows.com/ bookings). If you’re not, but still want to come along and drool at the scooters on show, then the event takes place at Newark Showground over the weekend of January 5-6, 2019… see you there!

REMOVABLE PANEL HOOK FOR THE LAMBRETTA SERIES 1 & 2 MODELS New from JB Fabrication is this removable panel hook kit designed to allow easier removal and fitting of the rear wheel, especially when tubeless rims are used.

The standard hook needs to be cut off and 2mm x 6mm holes drilled so that the new hook can be bolted on. Comes complete with stainless steel fixings for £15 plus £2.95 UK postage. International rates on request. For more details call 07810 652929 or email JBFabrication69@aol.com

The evolution of

customisation Customisation of scooters has had its ups and downs but is there a tidal wave of resurgence about to happen?

E

ver since scooters appeared on the UK mainland decades ago, owners have altered their appearance one way or another. Early on it was somewhat pedestrian though, compared to today’s standards. Adding accessories to the mirrors and lights was the fashion of the modernist movement during the 1960s, the idea being simply to make one’s scooter individual.

During the 1970s this trend began to change by way of more elaborate paint schemes and the introduction of murals on the bodywork. It was the following decade where the real explosion and advances in customisation took hold; with the late 1970s scooter boom there came thousands more owners. It became increasingly difficult to make your scooter stand out from the crowd so ideas about customisation rapidly began to evolve.

It was a snowball effect, the more owners that joined in the more custom scooters that were created. As the national scooter rallies became an institution so did the shows held at each one.

Competition became fierce and a rivalry spread not just between owners but the builders and painters who were part of creating them.

When the likes of Dazzle first made an appearance it set a benchmark standard that I think most will agree exists to this day. Not only was it the first scooter to feature large-scale engraving but also fabrication beyond the actual components of the machine. Dazzle wasn’t singlehandily responsible for sparking the revolution within the custom scooter circuit, but those that followed after were certainly required to reach new heights, the likes of which had never been seen before. Perhaps that’s the reason that the period after is seen as the golden years of competition among custom scooter

owners. Certainly, in terms of the sheer volume of machines being built, that is true but this was the period when rallies were also at their peak in terms of attendance.

As the decline of the 1990s happened it was obvious that fewer custom scooters would be built, but the quality just kept on coming. The rivalry was just as intense even though the numbers being built dwindled, likewise the shows that catered for them would also see a decline. Perhaps there were too many shows and a thinning out was required. Just like any part of the scooter scene which has had its ups and downs and then bounced back, the custom side is no exception.

During the intervening years, hundreds if not thousands more custom scooters have been built but the shows that cater for them don’t seem to have made the same recovery. There are many reasons why this may be so and one theory is while people still want to build a custom scooter that doesn’t mean to say that they want to show them. These days the rally scene is far more diluted with events than it was back in the 1980s so it’s difficult to get a large number of scooters together in one place at the same time. If you’re showing a scooter you want it to win but better to do so with a large field of competition.

Years back there used to be the LCGB end of year super custom show which eventually combined into a trade and custom show at Bridlington. All well and good but this is held off the back of a rally. Perhaps there needs to be a new ‘one day super custom show’ like in the past. Rather than it taking place at the end of the season perhaps it could take place at the beginning – making the winter break an ideal time for those building scooters to get them ready rather

Perhaps there needs to be a new ‘one day super custom show’ like in the past?

12 | SCOOTERING | JANUARY 2019

‘Dazzle’ set the benchmark for custom scooters and shows that still exists to this day. than rushing to get them done at the end of the season. The event could still cater for the trade just like shows in the past have done with no need to change the format. As already mentioned, there are far more rallies than there were in the past and so a great many more shows but they tend to be smaller. However, if there was to be one national super show perhaps this could bring hundreds of custom scooters together all at once.

It would take more than my ramblings on here for that to happen and only could such a show be created by the promoters and the powers that be who organise events. One thing to point out though is that in recent years there seems to have been a resurgence within the custom scene. Once again there seems to be a friendly rivalry growing among owners. It’s not easy coming up with something new or a fresh idea that hasn’t been seen before.

However, there also seems to be a resurgence of painters within the industry many of whom are capable of creating real masterpieces, and I’m sure we would all like to see more custom scooters being built/painted. From the businesses that paint and build them to the manufacturers that produce the parts it can only benefit everyone. There’s a big vibe about the custom scooter scene at the moment; all it needs now is a huge event to showcase it.

Answers on a postcard please.

f o r e p e e l Street S

Desire

A street sleeper, in scooter terms, appears nondescript, yet under the panels it a torque twisting power unit that packs a proper punch.

This scooter certainly does that!

W

ay back in the 70s, when he was both young and impressionable, Tim Lake had his head turned by one particular scooter. This was a yellow ochre Lambretta GP200 electronic, at the time owned and ridden by a then local to him fellow scooterist. Around 40 years down the line, with an accrued wealth of experience on two small wheels, Tim had owned and ridden a number of scooters. Until recently not one of them had been anything like the Bertone-designed last of the Innocenti-made Lambrettas, the GP Electronic, which had been etched indelibly in his mind.

During the 70s the crème de la crème of Italian Lambretta scooters was the GP200 Electronic.

The last and final production Grand Prix model manufactured in Milan. Within the past couple of years, Tim finally got himself a yellow ochre GP Lambretta which encompasses recent(ish) innovations, developments and upgrades in key areas to the dream scooter of his youth.

Make a decision, do it now

Tim had initially planned to build his dream machine to coincide with his retirement from working for London Underground. “After seeing and hearing a Targa Twin at the Isle of Wight a few years ago, I was convinced that this was the engine I was going to have. At that time Targa Twin engines were 250cc; by the time I got to the point of putting an order in, the 275cc was available, so that’s what I ordered.” The intention was to use some of his retirement money to fund the scooter project.
