A fair few scooter fans have been caught out by a number of spoof stories circulating on the internet recently. We’ve seen the fairly believable stories popping up on social media, quite often shared and commented on by hood-winked scooterists looking forward to the rebirth of ‘SIL Lambretta’ and their new manual four stroke GP.
There’s also the ‘news’ that LML are to produce the latest PX, complete with a 500cc version. Our advice is to try not to be too gullible and check the source of any scooter news. If it’s not been covered or hinted at by SLUK you’ll quite often find it’s either fabricated or guess work. The two stories above are both from React365, a website with the tagline “Prank your friends with fake news.”
