The face of things to come?

YOU’RE INVITED...

Time for reflection • The run up to Kelso gave Stan the first chance of a decent rideout this year and here’s his update on some GTS products we’ve had on test for a while.

ROLLING WITH RHODZ • Every month you ask our resident tyre expert, Rhodz, sales manager at Cambrian Tyres (the UK’s largest motorcycle tyre distributor) and dedicated PX rider for his recommendations. This month we’re talking big bhp…

Staying on • The conditions at Whilton Mill may have been challenging, but they’ve given Paul Green a taste for endurance racing.

Hacksaws at the ready • Changing the physical structure of a scooter divides opinion, but if it had never happened, then the scene would look completely different.

Lost in France • Finding myself alone, in a different country, and with very little money or fuel, I had to go to extremes just to make ends meet.

The Scooter Diaries: An adventure romance through Latin America • Imagine being ready to embark on the scooter adventure of a lifetime – only to meet the love of your life a few weeks before departure. What would you do?

The Knowledge: Hydro dipping • Hydro dipping has been around for a while, but one man has made it his mission to try and refine the processes and give the very best results possible. We spoke to Mick at Karbonfootprint Hydrographics.

Classy Caledonia • It’s the most northerly of the British National rallies and, in Stan’s opinion, the most beautiful of them all. Once again Kelso ’23 delivered.

A quick one with The Signatures • They’re playing the Brighton Mod Weekender on August bank holiday Friday and headlining at this year’s Isle of Wight International Scooter Rally on the Saturday, so what better time for Sarge to help us get acquainted with The Signatures.

Crossing Continents Istanbul to Cyprus • In the late summer of 2022, Trevor Dodd bought a Vespa GTS, sight unseen, and set off on an epic adventure. In our April edition he’d reached Istanbul; we now join him and his wife Yegane on the road to Cyprus.

Lambretta Lince • The final production Spanish Lambretta, the Lince, had some unusual features which make it stand out as a unique machine

Lambretta Lince That was then... • Considering that the Lince was a last-ditch attempt to save the factory, very little attention was paid to its marketing.

Lambretta Lince This is now • The late Spanish machines aren’t to everyone’s taste but, as Lizzie Edmonds’ lovely example proves, it’s possible to create a head turner while still retaining their quirkiness.
