if its a scooter its OK with me. cutdown, skelly, full panel, lights, mirrors, or plain, they are all scooters ! i have owned one of everything at different times. and a scooter is a scooter, simple as that !
Few of the posts on this are complete pish. First scooter was a Vespa 90 in 1980, then a p150 finally a p200e that had full Norrie Kerr race spec. Was a mod & became a scooter boy as scene moved on. We were still too bust fight we bikers to worry about fighting with each other then.
this brings back memories,i was part of the telford mods that rode to scarbourough back in 1980,we bumped into the rudgely(stafford)run and joined together all that way.
Im am not proposing a fight , just it seems a little childish to argue on here Im just saying id prefer to meet and sort it out. Im not saying scooterboys are better than chegue book mods (i think the masses can reply to that) But id much rather ride a vespa that emerged from mixed bits out of the shed, Then get the full force of the uk weather in my face riding with friends . Than a clone lamby that a dealer spits out and overprices then a tit buys it to ride on a ralley after vaning it there
UKVESPA, 'clone lamby'? How dare you assume my scooter was purchased from a dealer! You have been wildly assumptive throughout. I paid £150 for my LI in 1985 from an old man and personally rebuilt it with the help of some friends.I still have it today.Just because you choose to be punished by your scooter by pointlessly exposing yourself to extreme weather conditions is down to you.If I choose to 'van it' (and I'm not saying I do),it would be for the purpose of preservation than anything else.
Its sad when a scooterboy and a mod are arranging a fight! im a scooterist( im 2 old 2 b called a scooterboy,im 35!) I have nothing against mods, i was one at school. I hate cutdowns,much prefer the full frame look,but each 2 their own. I still like a lot of music which would be classed as mod, but off course i also like northern soul.Without the mod revival of 79 there prob wouldnt be any real scooter scene tday, and that includes scooter boys.
darrenn438, I too think it is sad that it has come to this.However, if you read through the threads, you will see that it is ukvespa who has instigated threatening behaviour.This is proof that scooterboys are,indeed, boys who have yet to mature.
Ok then christmas tree riding bowl haircut styling parka wearing cock jocky mod. Just let me know when you next van your lammy to a ralley ill make sure to be there. Ill be on a satin black T5 cutdown in my padded bike jacket and full face helmet waiting to greet you. So till then have a happy christmas and hope to meet you soon
ukvespa,Where have I resorted to threats as you have just done?With that said,I shall,in due course,inform you of where I shall be attending a convention.I have a 1968 LI 150, no silly lights or mirrors, just pristine,in its original colours.I regret you have been misled by my mild mannered nature and taste for bespoke attire.After all, you have no idea as to what I or my companions,are capable of.Your padded jacket may turn out to be highly beneficial to you in more ways than you imagined...
ukvespa, harsh words indeed.If you are willing to give it, be prepared to take it.Furthermore, linking my name to a skidmark is, considering my cleanliness,excellent,flawless attire, attention to detail,education, manners and wealth, is highly innapropriate.Such a description is more relevant to you and your dishevelled scooterboy barnacles.I suggest you refrain from dishing out further insults as, the more you unleash, I shall return twofold.
And here speaks a born again scooterist no now fuck off and go polish your modded up PX shitlips bet you tow your scooter to rallies on a trailer.....looooooser
granniesfanny,why you have chosen this name is beyond me.However, given your horrid persona and chav-like grammar, I assume it has a sinister, unfortunate significance in your life.
Well done youve got some people wound up with your comment. How much did you spend in you lammie then? Must have scraped some skin writing the cheque. Does it have a big kit on it? (Imola TS1?)bet it could have been fast before you weighed it down with chrome.
"THIS GOES ON THE END OF ME OTHER COMMENT WASNT ENOUGH SPACE"But I still bet you look cool with your union jack davida helmet on and your hair trimmed to the same shape. Sorry about assuming this is you but only a cheque book mod cunt would put a post up like yours. Now fuck off to the shed and get chrome pollishing and leave scootering to the people who wanna ride them and be see not van them shine them and take home a trophy.
ukvespa,thanks for the advice.Meanwhile, you tent dwelling vagabond, I suggest you go and have a thorough wash, paying particular attention to the underside of your oily,germ infested fingernails.
U just some up the arrogance of some mods. Why look down on scooterboys? we are all in it together,keeping the spirit of scootering alive in2 the 21st century, all in our own way. What bonds us together is our love of all things vespa/lambretta. It shouldnt be a contest about who is better or cooler.The scooterboy/mod scene are connected whether u like it or not.
darree438, at least your response is civil and balanced. My problem with scooterboys stems back to the mid 80s.They were violent, aggressive, they ignored our club's 'smart dress only' policy,hassled our djs for the same records time and time again (I can't listen to The Snake or Give Me Just A Little More Time ever again) and morphed classic Italian scooters into monstrous,ugly machines.
up yer kilt from girvan in the 1990s,happy days!!!

WHY are owners of scooters arguing on here.
Its all about promoting the scene,the music the lifestyle,whether you are a mod,scooterboy,skin,whatever,its all about what we ride isnt it?
The scene is diverse,the riders are diverse,thats what makes it all so enjoyable.We all have 1 thing in common and that is OUR LOVE OF SCOOTERS.
Ride safe,and keep the faith.

I was expecting to see some classic, clean Italian scooters with elegant, beautifully attired mods on them.
Scooterboys were a diseased, unkempt,vulgar and distant avenue of the mod scene. I hated them then and I hate them now.
