Controversial rant ahoy.

Bloody scooters

 

Those little lambretta and vespa things are flocking to Scarborough this weekend like flys to a cow pat for some scooter rally.

 

They park anywhere they want (pavements & central reservations etc), they are loud, smokey and are are fooking everywhere!

 

One scooter you can take but when there are thousands all going past at 35mh going MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POP POP MEEEEEEEEEE POP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MEEEEEEEEEEEE POP MEEEEEEEEEEE it drives you crazy!!!!...right before you die a horrible death from the blue shit those things kick out!

 

Whatever makes a a grown man want to ride round on a brightly coloured variable speed hair dryer covered in mirrors I dont know

 

Ill be glad when they bugger off home Then theres just the caravans to contend with!

leave em alone ya big bully

They're not Vario-matic's Antz me old mate, they are proper manuals with a gearlever and everything. Oh and contrary to popular belief, they run on chains and gears... not a rubber band in sight

 

I personally love them (i.e. the scooters), the fashion, the Northern Soul / Motown sounds etc. etc. I used to own a Lambretta LI 125 series 3 and a Vespa (that was a PK50 S - the least loved Vespa), and when I get some fences back up at home, I will be buying another. Can't own one yet though as it will get knicked by some theiving junkie

 

Live and let live mate, a little bit of two stroke smoke wont kill you, and if they are running on Castrol R, it can smell absolutely beautifull too

I LOVE UM.Had one myself years ago.it was all part of the mod revival good times were had.watch quadraphinia that will show you how much fun that time was.

Thats why I said its controversial cos I know theres a few scooter lovers on here.

 

Sorry but I just dont get the fascination Cars and bikes I can understand but scooters Never seen quadrophenia either and dont want to mainly because its full of scooters

 

Maybe im just too young to appreciate the old mods and rockers culture and no one in my family was a mod. Would rather listen to the deafening thump of a harley anyway than a hair dryer

[Retro-gone.]

what have i told you about knocking another mans passion pantz

[antz]

what have i told you about knocking another mans passion pantz

 

That im a big bully?

[escort new boy]

quadrophenia imo is the best film ever made an im going to see it at the theater next month. Scooters are brilliant love em, just sold my pk. I wouldn't knock something until you have tryed it.

[FredTransit]

And breathe! Personally I don't like em either, wouldn't have one and do get tempted to mow em down with the van, but I don't.

Fair play dude and ill admit that.

 

But when you are on the receiving end of a 10 car tail back behind 19 scooters all travelling at 35mph, covering you in blue smoke and deafening you..you cant help but think GRRRR JUST GET OUT MY WAY

 

It is a case of each to their own.

 

Oh and if my thread offends anyone then I blame Pantz

Seriously though Antz, watch Quadrophenia. It's a great film with an excellent soundtrack which I have on Vinyl along with the original The Who - Quadrophenia album. You don't have to like scooters or scootering, it's just an excellent film; It will tell you all you need to know

[Posse]

oh antz have you got any blues

[stevepeanut]

I seen a good dozen broken down scooters on the A64 today

[zetecmk2]

oi pantz, shut it!!

build yourself a lambretta chopper, go on a scooter run, drink, dance, all night normally and learn a thing or 2!!

i' like you, used to hate 'em, even kicked loads of them over in brighton '83. chasing mods along the beach and getting rounded up and put on a bus and taken to the nick!! great days!

then, 3 yrs later, all the skinheads had lambretta's!!!

build another is on my "to do" list!

feel the love, man!

[zetecmk2]

oh, antz, you're allowed to kick over the vespa's

[antz]

oh, antz, you're allowed to kick over the vespa's

 

co-incidentally my told me today about when he was my age he was with a mate of his on their bikes and got chased into a carpark where the mods threw bottles at them....so a few nights later they were out in his matess old ford capri. They saw a group of scooters with one sticking out in the road and his mate dove into it knockign a whole line over

 

 

I might watch quadrophenia one day but im not buying it. Times are hard

[over_head_cam]

[Gonzo]

[deltamal]

Had a problem with scooter's meself in the 60's, but that was in a different time....

[over_head_cam]

My dad had a vespa (apparently he was something called a scooter-billy?) He crashed for some reason or another then that was it, no more two wheels

[antz]

Antz.

 

 

Stop moaning.

Agreed, I also dislike Scooters but Quadrophenia is a great film with a fantastic sound track.

 

Out of my brain on the train.............................!!

[Retro-gone.]

my bro was president of the Saracens, brid scooter club in the 70's so ive got fond memories of 100+ scooters meeting at our house,in a roundabout way they are one of the reasons i got into bikes and cars, im not a massive scooter fan but i dont dislike em, and i love the whiff of 2stroke engines

Antz just sit back and breath the 2 stroke fumes mate and put it this way, at least it isnt hundreds of chavs on peugeot scooters around the roads you want to be on
