    THE ITALIAN JOB – LML STYLE!

    Following their successful trip to Pisa in 2017, the LML Owners Club of Great Britain are out to prove that there’s more to scootering than the ‘big two’ marques. This year the club are heading for Venice, departing from Dover on June 2 and then returning home on June 16. “Although this is primarily a LML excursion, other scooters are more than welcome,” explained organiser Paul Phillips. A few places are still available and more details can be found on the LML Owners Club Facebook page.

    BUSY AS BEES

    Last year was one of Buzzsolomoto’s busiest ever but that hasn’t prevented the Halifax-based team from completing some spectacular restorations.

    Ready for the showroom in February are their first ever ‘dealer specials’. Based on former Spanish Post Office machines, these scooters have been subject to a bare metal rebuild with bodywork, bearings and seals all being inspected and replaced as necessary. Each is powered by the Pinasco GT177 kit turning a Mecur road race crank. These are mated to a 24mm carb and 21 tooth clutch. Pinasco shocks are fitted front and rear and an FA Italia seat completes the package. Final prices are to be confirmed but will be in the region of £4000. Considering their painstaking restoration and overall specification that’s great value compared to the remaining new PXs.

    This is a bit of a strange book on many counts. Despite weighing in at less than a hundred pages, it manages to pack in an authentic-feeling tale of the rise and fall of a scooter club in the early to mid 80s, a love story, a murder, poetry and a tal
