PIATTI SCOOTER MEMORIES

Looking back on my association with a classic motor scooter. It wasn't a great scooter but it was fun! To set the record straight I kept the Piatti for two years. It was actually 1959 when I traded the Piatti in for a DKR Defiant. Eventually that was replaced by a Dayton Albatross. I also restored one of those and it can be seen with the Piatti in some of the photos. ( I have used youtube's own audio backing track which I enjoy listening to, but I wish they wouldnt chop off the end of the music as they have done here before the video has ended!)

@myScooterchannel Memories get more precious as you get older!

Not the most atractive of scooters, but if it was reliable what the hell does it matter, living memories, nice one Mike.

@howarth004 It could well have benefitted by more development I fear, but the Mark 2 was anounced only weeks before the factory closed, having not made enough profit to keep it going.

Hi Michael, a wonderful design. This scooter was unknown to me until I saw your video. Thank you for your very interesting report!

@robmasterman You have to be a certain type of person to be interested in such a machine as this!

[robmasterman]

That was a superb production Mike, very interesting facts, and re-emphasising the perfectionist you are...Bob

@WoelkerVideo Thanks! There were many better ones around in the 1950s but the Piatti has a certain special appeal to those of us who remember it!
