2010 Scooter Rally

Easter weekend resounded to the sound of hundreds of scooters in every shape and size. This one belongs to Bob, one of our guests, and very authentically reproduces the image of the scooters that I remember from the 60s and 70s. The difference is that in the 60s and 70s the riders of the scooters would wreak havoc wherever they went but now the majority are ridden by middle aged men who can afford the many thousands needed to buy an original Lambretta SX200 such as Bob's. The style is there but thankfully the violence originally associated with the riders is now a thing of the past.
