Bike(s): 61 Lambretta Series II Li 150 & 1964 Series III TV 175 , 1979 P200 |
|
Mark started riding scooters in
1966
around his home town of Romford
Essex England. His first scooter
came along when he managed to
scrounge up enough money to buy
a fairly beaten up 1957
Lambretta LD 125 from a mate.
After a move to Canada, and a 30
year break from anything to do
with scooters,
Mark happened to come across a
Vespa parked
in a Victoria parkade.
With the smell of two stroke, and
the memories of the fun riding
the LD (when it ran), swirling
around his head Mark decided
there and then to look around for
his second scooter. Many months
of searching later he found an
almost complete and rebuilt '61
Lambretta Series II LI 150 in
Toronto, which he had shipped out
to Victoria and restored it. As
the bug had now firmly taken hold
it wasn't long before Mark was
ordering a
1964 Series III TV 175, rebuilt
and restored by ScootRs in
Vietnam which has now become his
main ride.
Mark also owns a '79 P200 (his
token Vespa) which, with the help
of some club mates, is in the
final stages of it's restoration. |

My name is Rob Nesbitt.
I first became aware and
interested in scooters in 1984
when I was emerging as the only
mod in the small town I had just
moved to.
In 1998 I purchased my first
scooter. A $1,000 piece of trash
that is now a gleaming pseudo-
custom cash-hog.
(See Scoot! Quarterly Winter 2001
for a more detailed history of
this scooters retoration.)
I like Glenn Danzig.

Chris Cowley |
Bike(s): Lambretta LI 150 w/ 175 topend |
|
Captain Cowley joined this mob of
marauders in November of 2000,
with his purchase of his SX 150
which was proptly upgraded to a
175. Don’t let the shy exterior
fool you… he’s ruthless and is
known across seven seas for being
a loose cannon.
His scooter, aka The
Lambyque, “supposedly”
spontaneously combusted at a gas
station during the Seattle rally.
Rumor has it though, the gas
attendent made a smart remark,
igniting Chris’s temper. In
response, Chris lit his scooter on
fire right beside the pump, in an
attempt of mass destruction. He
can usually be found sitting on
the stoop at the "Scooter House",
havin' a pint at Spinnakers, or
studing at UVic to be an
unemployed Anthropologist.
Listen to Chris every Sat. at 3:00
pm on CFUV Victoria where he hosts
an all Ska radio show ….
Skanksters Paradise!

It was the summer of 1996, the
night of the Sex Pistols in
Vancouver. With nowhere to stay
after the concert, my friend and I
ended up lost and wandering around
downtown Vancouver. The night
became surreal as we saw the
Wizard of Oz projected on the side
of an old building from the gravel
of an empty lot and helped a wren
escape from an underground
parkade. We then passed a row of
scooters dripping with chrome and
veiled in a cloud of blue two-
stroke smoke and I had a fantastic
vision of the meaning of cool.
The seed of obsession was planted…
I found my 1975 150 Super in
Seattle the summer of '99. I ride
it to
work every day, and a little
further on sunny days.
I'm also a member of the
Wild Cherry Scooter Club.

I've been Scootering since June
2001 on my Trusty '81 P200. I
enjoy the CCSC and putting on
Rallies every year. I ride every
week with the SVIS: currently
we're meeting at the Moka House on
Shoal Point (Fisherman's Wharf) at
noon. I've learned a lot about
Vespa Largeframes over the years
and I run Vespa Maintenance which is
an online guide to working on a
Vespa. Gimme a wave if you see me
on the road! :) I killed my
scooter in 2005 :_( I now have a
lambretta, which is living up to
its reputation - Being awesome
while not running. |

I have been interested in
anything with two wheels most of
my life. I bought my first
scooter while a resident of the
infamous vancouver scooter house
(may she rest in peace) and
recently purchased a new PX and
ride every day rain or shine.

Joined the club after bringing 'ol smokey' to a
close excuse to running condition. Is hoping
this will be a healthier counter to his other
hobby, single malt whisky. |
