The Tside6 Endurance race – Part 1 | FEATURE
The race is long Endurance races are a different animal; possibly the cruellest of any sport except playing tennis with kittens. Just when you think you’ve got it sorted, everything can unravel. Unlike short circuit racing where raw speed, money and balls win, endurance is more of a thinking man’s sport. Strategy […]

Dutch Lions to Aachen – Part 2 | FEATURE
In part one, Doug Turner and his merry bunch of chums headed off to the Dutch Lions before riding further into Europe for the Aachen rally. You can recap on part one here, or just get on with the trip… I had booked two nights in the Chateau de Rolley, which rented seven […]
Rip off motorway services – cash saving tips | Feature
We all know what to expect when we stop at motorway services, yes that’s right expensive food, expensive fuel and often a busy stressful experience. Often when we’re travelling to far off rallies or even heading off on holiday we’re time-bound and travelling on, or stopping on the motorway for fuel/rest/refreshments is unavoidable. Especially […]

Welcome to the 2019 ScooterLab long-termer. I’m sure most of our readers won’t need an explanation as to what this one is but just in case you don’t know, this is the new Vespa GTS HPE SuperTech 300. I’m no stranger to the Vespa GTS and have owned six since the first 250 […]
SIP Tacho Karacho 2019 | FEATURE
Last week whilst we were squelching around Alfreton at ScooterExpo the German HQ of SIP Scootershop was basking in glorious sunshine as they hosted their second Tacho Karacho sprint event. There aren’t many scooter shops around the world where you can have a 1/4 mile sprint event like this outside your front door and […]
Dutch Lions to Aachen – Part 1 | FEATURE
As usual, I put together a presentation for the Salford Knights for their annual overseas rally. After the success of last year’s Dutch Lions, this was chosen again, but there was a caveat that there was a possibility of joining Borderland Breakdown in Aachen the weekend after. The trip was born. 1000 miles […]
TV Scooter Garage tuned CP ONE35 Vega | FEATURE
Reasons I like Italy… Food, weather, beautiful women, history, culture, beer and food. Ohh and Lambrettas. There’s always someone to visit on my two weeks summer holiday in Italy, someone who is interesting to me purely by virtue of the fact they are into Lambrettas. I like Lambrettas. I’ve made lots of contacts […]
Son of Sticky: Project SuperLui – Part 6 | FEATURE
Precision engineering? ‘That looks about right.’ “Putting a Vespa engine in a Lambretta? That’s a hanging crime in some States mister…” Yeah, like Scooterboys young and old give a shit about your opinions. This is the long-awaited edition where we finally perform the unholy matrimony, in a bid to combine the economy and […]
ScooterExpo Alfreton 2019 | FEATURE
Well, where do we start on this one? Is it the eight months of preparation between SLUK and ScooterNova that went into the show? The countless meetings, site visits, hundreds of emails, phone calls and promotion that went into it? Or perhaps let’s go further back when myself and Matty booked Alfreton as […]

The Isle of Skye on a £50 budget by Vespa | FEATURE
A modern scooter is cheap to run, dependable and can cover serious distances quite easily so what do you do when you have a spare long weekend, a bit of cash and a Vespa GTS? That’s right, you bungee a tent on, pack some rations and ride to The Highlands of Scotland just for […]
London to Brighton vintage shafters run | RALLERY
If you feel like you’re experiencing déjà vu with this article don’t panic. It was actually published remotely last week whilst I was on holiday but some kind of website gremlin ate half the feature and swallowed the photos. Unable to restore it from my poolside retreat, the offending article was removed. I’m back […]
