Modern Buddy

Sorry, this isn't Buddy related but the new release got me wondering if there are any really good books out there to learn more about vintage scooters, especially Lambrettas. I know we have some vintage scooter people on this board so I was hoping they could help out.

Thanks

If you go to www.scooterworks.com they have a whole pile of 'em.

Keys-
You've been plugging Scooter Works a lot lately, are you planning on hitting them up for a sponsership for your cross country ride?

Seriously though, thanks for the suggestion. I guess I think more Vespa/Stella when I think of SW, but they do have quite a selection on their site.

Thanks

If you're interested in the history, "Red Eyes, Whitewalls, Blue Smoke" is a fun read with lots of glossy pictures (good for someone like me)

I know this is a little different but I am reading the book "I see by my outfit" and I am thouroghly enjoying it. It is a novel, not consumer or product oriented, which is relaxing to me since I often "tech geek" and "gear Head" myself to numbness. It is about a couple of guys riding cross country on some 4-stroke skooters.(4 stroke scooter was a new concept back then I think!) Any way, he does reflect on the love of his old Lammy, and makes me feel cool about my recent purchase od a classic styled 4-stroke Chetak. I would give my left leg for a Lambretta.(and someone to work on it) javascript:emoticon(':lol:')

Good book, and you should also look at The Scooter Bible by Micheal and Eric Dregni.
