Any funny stories: I was at Kelso on my Cambridge Lambretta ultimate Mugello, an old scooterist from the early 80s I knew who had just came back to the scene basically slated how the GP looked and gave advice on how it could look better. I asked him what he was riding, he said come see… I followed him to his tent while he was saying it's the best scooter ever, some power, handles well.
