Dropped my scooter in this week for a service at Retrospective Scootersprior to commuting to work by Vespa from April; a good idea to get it given a good once over before getting back in the saddle.
C.Spavento, one of the VVC’s resident contributors, visited Brighton over the recent bank holiday weekend and checked out the ‘bling’ scooters on display - report coming soon.
Italian VVC member, Federico Savogin, has been putting his feet up on his vacanze/holidays in Termoli. Termoli is on Italy’s eastern side on the Adriatic coast in the lesser known region of Molise.
Club members, Roger Smith and Warren Jopson travelled up from the south coast and Essex respectively, to represent the VVC at the inaugural ScooterExpo event in Alfreton, Derbyshire.
The scooter scene accommodates a wide variety of tastes - if Mod, restos or customs aren’t your thing, then maybe ‘Mad Max’ style street racers with monster engines hanging out of them is..!
I returned to work yesterday after two weeks off; hence the News Page for August looking a little bare. A week was spent camping in Moreton, Dorset and the rest was spent at home in West Herts.
Federico Savogin, celebrated his 38th birthday in style last Sunday with a ride that circled Mount Vesuvius, as well as taking in the Bay of Naples and stretches of the Amalfi coastline - what a way to celebrate!!
Geoff Woodin’s previous scooters have all been large frame Vespas, mostly PX models. He recently purchased a Sprint 125 ABS, 2019 model - how do the two compare?
