Oddballs 2025 | RALLERY

After a weekend off from rallying, I'm set up to head off to Abingdon for the 10th anniversary Oddballs rally. As always, my plans aren't as straightforward as I'd like them to be, and this time it's the small but important point of an MOT. Booked for 4 pm on the…

Lambretta Lunas tackle Cumbria’s Six Passes | RIDING EVENT

If you fancy 4 seasons in a single day and some breathtaking views, all you need is Innocenti’s finest moped and a thirst for adventure. Potted History In the 1960s, Innocenti was envious of the excellent Vespa 50’s success. They wanted a slice of the action. At first, they made…

George on the SRP RaceTech Lammy earlier this season Any kind of racing is expensive and when you're in the middle of your GCSEs, time is almost as precious as money. Getting a race bike prepped and entry paid for had to take a backseat for George Fielder. As a…

BSRA #5 Aberystwyth National Scooter Rally 2025 | RALLERY

Aberystwyth was the first of two National Scooter Rallies to be held in the country of Wales this year. Those rallies, combined with both Lambretta and Vespa club members’ rallies, plus multiple club rallies, go some way to quenching the insatiable thirst for scooter events that many Welsh scooterists suffer…

South West Scooter Club’s Farmyard Bash | RALLERY

It's an early leave, as I broke my journey up to feed my inner geek by stopping off at an airshow, to meet Guy, my son (that's not him pictured above). Several hours later, we set off for Banwell near Weston-Super-Mare for the latest Farmyard Bash. Western It’s held every…

York Scooter Club’s 50th Anniversary | RALLERY

There's nothing like a weekend of camping to bring an untimely end to an endless summer! Sadly, York's Scooter Club's 50th anniversary rally at Breighton Ferry brought about that change last weekend. Luckily, Friday was scorchio and dry because we were treated to a full day of rain on Saturday,…

South Brittany Scooter Rally: Sea, Scoot and Run | RALLERY

I’d heard rave reports about how good this rally was last year, so it was always on my radar for 2025. It was a busy weekend, offering a choice for those scooterists who like to venture overseas for their riding and rally fix. The same weekend there was another popular…

BSRA #4 Big 7 Scooter Rally 2025 | RALLERY

So, here we are at the end of June, and we are now technically already halfway through the scooter rally season. Blimey. From Easter, the first three Nationals were spread over a five-week period, whereas bizarrely, the timeframe between the 3rd and 4th has been the same! Thus, after having…

We ride the world’s fastest Lambretta | FEATURE

Riding in a straight line. How hard can it be? As it turns out, when you’re piloting the world’s fastest Lambretta, it’s not as straightforward as you might think. Let’s set the scene: I’m at Santa Pod after accepting an invitation from Eric Cope to do a 1/4 mile sprint…
