Scooter Mania! Recollections of the Isle of Man Scooter Rally • For today’s scooterist, ‘scooter island’ probably refers to the Isle of Wight, but between 1957 and 1976 that title belonged to the Isle of Man. In this book, Steve Jackson chronicles a never-to-be-repeated era.

Vespa Cosa This is now • Like many 80s scooterists, Steve Everitt was no fan of the Cosa, yet now he runs the Cosanauts group. Stan reports back after meeting Steve to discover what brought about the transformation.
