MAN & MACHINE
Name: Guy Burnett How and when did you first become interested in scooters: While I was racing motorcycles in the 1990s. I saw them on the track and couldn’t believe how fast they were First scooter: Series 2 Lambretta, which I built with a TS1 engine Favourite scooter model: I have a soft spot for a nicely built series 11 Favourite style of custom scooter: GP street racers (full bodied) What do you like about rallies/events: Pretty good laugh with like-minded people What do you dislike about rallies/events: Snobbery regarding Indian and Italian Lambrettas What’s your favourite Scootering Magazine feature: Readers’s rides Your favourite custom/featured scooter of all time: It would be wrong to say some of my own, previously having two featured in Scootering, but I do love the IOM series s by Dave Dickinson If you had to recommend one scooter part or item of riding kit, what would it be: Best riding gear you can afford. Also spend good money on brakes and tyres
