14.-16.8.2014 in Paderborn

Jetsons Lambretta Club celebrates this year their 25th anniversary. One thing should be clear to anyone who knows the Jetsons: it will be vigorously celebrated. While the tanks are empty from time to time, here the glasses are always half full. Celebrated from August 14th until 16th in the founding city of Paderborn.

Jetsons Lambretta Club

In the heart of East Westphalia, the local hospitality offers great conversations with drunks at the bar, genuine Westphalia cuisine (curry sausage with French fries and other dead animals from the grill), and, of course, the sheet metal geared scooter enthusiasm is the top priority! Invited are of course all Lambretta riders, all Vespa riders, all Carsuckers and also the riders/inside from all strange vehicles.

As a special highlight, the Jetsons have planned to raffle a beautifully restored and fully functional Lambretta 125 series 2 from Switzerland.

Scooter Customshow 2015 Scootershow in Köln

SCOOTERSHOW ’15

Scooter Center Customshow 2015

On March 21, 2015, we start the eighth International Scooter Center Customshow for Classic and Automatic Scooter in Cologne.

Scooter Customshow Scootershow 2015

Scooter Customshow 2015

The history of the Scooter Center Customshows goes way back in time. Before we moved to the stunning location of AbenteuerHallenKALK, we already had organized Customshows outdoors for over 10 years. As part of our legendary Opendays event in front of the Scooter Center Store in Bergheim. These Customshows were at that time not nearly as large as today’s show – but the spirit was all the same!

We have always had awesome scooters on the show. The scooters have been lovingly remodeled with great creativity and technical skill with infinite amount of time and often with a lot of money used for really hot Customscoots. Blatant finishes, gold, chrome. Airbrush, colorful, longer, shorter, higher, deeper, louder and usually faster than the police permits or extremely rare and much older than the owners themselves. This is a diverse custom scene. PURE SCOOTERING

We all meet once a year in Cologne SCOOTERSHOW – the International Scooter Customshow in Cologne. The scooter changes, were have added many new scooters there. Many Custom projects have undergone a veritable evolution and were gradually further developed. Other legendary custom scooters are retrieved from the basement and remember today the wild beginnings of the Classic Scooterscene of the 80’s and 90’s.

The Real Heroes

Classic Scooter & Automatic Scooter. Vespa, Lambretta – Streetracer, Leiter, Dragscoot, Cupracer, Streesleeper, Speedfight, Aerox and Co – the true heroes are the ones who stand behind the scooters!

This ye are, that you are, and we really appreciate it! We plan and organize now and already looking forward to a great Customshow.
We look forward seeing you at the SCOOTERSHOW’15 on 21.03.2015 in Cologne.

Customshow 2015 - True Heroes

You can register yourself with your scooter here: Customshow registration

More than Custom Scooter

In addition to the exhibition of scooters, there is a lot to see and to experience. In Cologne, the scooter scene will hit the season start. The Scooter Center and bgm will have new Scootertuning products on display and bargain-hunters will, again, find there many large and small parts stands. And, of course, a delicious buffet is also provided.

As great as the similarities are – also the music often share the spirits. We’ve learned a lot and in the 2015 event, we therefore are providing two separate halls with music – 2 Floors.

With bgm PRO Vespa stainless steel rims through the desert

, , ,

Vespa Raid Maroc 2014: The hardest Vespa race in the world!

This year was the third time for the Vespa Raid in Morocco. A six-day race over mountains and across the desert. But always winding pistes and slalom through football sized boulders and other obstacles.

In addition to the absolute physical fitness, that the driver must have, the achieved average speed counts less than the navigation skills. Because only with the successful drive through all the check points you will get the highest score.

bgm PRO Vespa stainless steel rims

 

Sticky on bgm PRO indestructible stainless steel rims through the desert

For all the rivalry between the teams, the atmosphere of fair play and great helpfulness to each other is practiced. The biggest battle is against the adversities of the nature and not against the fellow racers.
Ferran, one of the organizers, made available for Sticky a pink Vespa PX on the road to enable him to expand his broad portfolio of racetracks. The Vespa PX is well prepared for this type of race and has proven itself in three desert racing seasons. Including the 2011 Pan-Africa Rally, which is the inspiration for the Morocco Rally organizer.

 

I used the BGM rim on the front wheel for 5 days and on the rear for the last two days, Initially I worried that the rear tyre might spin on the smooth rim and rip the valve out when running at low pressures, but it never did. On day 6 I rode to the checkpoint with a deflating front tyre on a BGM rim, but despite hitting some big rocks the rim was still fine when I changed the tube. The lip on the outer edge of the rim is much thicker and stronger than standard. Changing tyres and tubes with these stainless split rims is a lot easier than with loose paint and rusty steel or with tubeless wheels. If the BGM rims prove reliable in the long term then you’d expect every tyre change to be this easy.” Sticky

 

Despite of health problems (which may have had an impact on his top decking passion), he pulls up to 200 km per day on the Vespa.

Especially shock absorbers, rims and tires and the fragile engine housing are in danger to get permanently damaged or completely destroyed. In this picture the nice looking original black standard rim did not stand the stress:

bgm PRO Vespa stainless steel rims

On day 5 it is so far and Sticky get a puncture and broken navigator holder on mixed terrain. The navigator holder is replaced by gaffer tape and the original Piaggio Vespa rims are replaced by the bgm PRO stainless steel rims. The right decision! Not only stable, but also beautiful, the new bgm PRO stainless steel rims – who still needs chrome rims?
Vespa-rims-6975
In contrast to the completely deformed and wavy rims, our standard bgm stainless steel rims presents themselves at the end of the race still like new and in non-dented condition!

Scootentole Magny Cours

Scooter Racing in Magny Cours 2014

, ,

10-h Scootentole endurance scooter racing in Magny Cours

10HMC14s

The third endurance, organized by the Association Scootentole and Retro Scooter Nivernais on the long Club track of Magny Cours , entered a new phase:

  • 34 teams at the start,
  • some 130 pilots of
  • six different nationalities.
 The principle : Start on sunday morning at 9:00, finishing 10 hours later. The first under the checkered flag wins. Simple! 

Nice weather , beautiful track , the event is full of promises. Qualifying on Saturday saw the “official teams” confrontation during which , the 225SS Casa Lambretta steals the pole to the swift ” full Quattrini ” liquid cooled Vespa . Right behind , the Team Burzock LML PX 215 Pinasco engine created a surprise by beating the Squadra Corse MitoLambretta (AF Rayspeed RB20 ) and the german Dart Racing Team PK 150 Polini Evo…

10HMC14m

On sunday, to the delight of drivers and spectators, right from the beginning of the race, started a track battle wich opposed the best Lambrettas against the best Vepas. On the Lambretta side, within the first hour, the Casa Lambretta boys had a broken crankshaft, while the MitoLambretta Rayspeed AF were still at the forefront, and the Lambretta-Authentik (RT195 MB Dev) was holding the 4th place … before breaking his exhaust. Seems Like Vespas were going to win the fight this year !

IMG_1426

Vespa Pugenti Corsa Quattrini leaded ??the race from start to the finish, tremendous for a first participation! For the second place, the battle for the podium between four opponents, saw the Germans of the Dart Racing take the advantage over the French LML-Pinasco-Burzock (third and first largeframe), followed by the Spanish PK Racing Rolando Quattrini, and the Italian team of MitoLambretta. Ranked during a time in the top 5, the PK of SPRT (Quattrini), the PK of PRT-Korona (Falc), the PX Authentik (210 Malossi) and Old Scoot Racing (Parmakit 177), and the small Pinasco VSP21, due to falls or mechanical problems, were forced to back down into the rankings. … Despite the long track (tough for engines) and the hot sun, most teams classified in the first part of the ranking table, were those who experienced no major mechanical problems !

As previous years, this event went perfectly well, and what a pleasure to see the joy of the teams who managed to cross the finish line. This race is already a classic. The organizers hope that, a probable extension of the grid to 45 teams would make things even more exciting! See you next year !

Vespa Racing Mirecourt Challenge Scootentole France

,

TAKING A CORNER WITH 135km/h ON A VESPA

Mirecourt Vespa & Lambretta racing 2014 in France

Vespa Rennen und ESC Opening in Mirecourt 2014

It was a great edition of the now classic Challenge Scootentole Mirecourt, 2014 ESC season opening, where the best vintage scooter drivers from Europe gathered together on the long weekend of the 31st of May.

Challenge+Mirecourt+2014+531

TAKING A CORNER WITH 135km/h ON A VESPA

About 120 riders had registered, and most of them arrived as early as Thursday to start training on the track.
Speaking of which, the novelty for 2014 was a new high-speed curve before the straight line. This configuration change allowed some of the fastest drivers to go as fast as 135km/h !

6f7q

With light rain showers on the Friday, the weather improved along the week-end and the Saturday was a great day for racing, with no severe accident, on a dry track.

The Vespa Club Celle had applied to this year’s Vespa World Days 2013 in Hasselt, Belgium, and awarded the contract for this great event in 2017. Top!

Meanwhile, the VC Celle has given more details: Date Vespa World Days 2017 is:

Vespa Racing ESC Mirecourt Frankreich

Biggest classic vespa race ever !

FlyerCSMirecourt2013HDMirecourt, France, ESC 2013 season opening and 13th Challenge Scootentole, 155 drivers decided to write history !
All categories was reasonably packed for fair action and good fun !

Most people arrived on Thursday while some hard-core drivers took advantage of the privileged relationship we have with the circuit of Mirecourt to arrive as soon as Wednesday !! Thursday and Friday, the track was available for practice. Unfortunately this is on that day that we had a big accident seeing a driver breaking is leg. Season did not even start for him… Too bad ! The weather was cold, changing with a bit of rain from time to time.

On the next day, Saturday the day of the actual Challenge Scootentole, we arbitrary splited the two C2S qualification sessions in the morning in order to even chances for a good time.

vespa-racing_mirecourt-02 vespa-racing_mirecourt-04

From there, everything went very smoothly and we could see beautiful and fair racing, well helped by the weather; it actually did not rain during any of the sessions, only at lunch break !! With little surprise, the usual masters of the track trusted the first places in K1 and K2, but new comers are starting to push hard, like the young Romain Baguet from Team 70s scooter who finished 3rd in K4 and 1st in K5 ! The K7 category, girlz power, driving with the K6 and the slowest of the K5, the grid was filled up with 13 girls, a very promising number for the rest of the season !
It should be mentioned that every year the level of preparation and the quality of all scooters is improving. This was still true in 2013, with beautiful teams and scooter that actually looks like scooters (cuts are restricted to a minimum in the Challenge Scootentole).

vespa-racing_mirecourt-03 vespa-racing_mirecourt-01

On the oddities side, it was interesting to see in action in K2 the French V5A frame #216 from Julien Desnuelle, driven by Olivier Doussot (both from SPRT team ) the first racing vespa fitted with an electronic injection (Keep an eye on it: Vespa Tuning M1L Quattrini Vespa without Carb ) !
We also saw an official LML 4T Corsa (166 Polini) in demonstration in the K6/K8 sessions. Not so fast as expected, but some people seemed very interested by the potential of the tubular chassis…

During the award ceremony and lucky draw we could hand-over some very nice gifts and presents thanks to our sponsors, and especially Scooter Center!
After that, helped with a little “apero”, most of the people started to relax and the party lasted long on the campsite until very late !
On the next and finale day, Sunday, after a well deserved “croissant” offered by the Challenge Scootentole, all people slowly started to pack and to head home, bringing with them plenty of great souvenirs !

The Challenge Scootentole would like to thank again Scooter Center for their continuous support !

We will be waiting for you on the 8th of June in Marcillat for the 14th Challenge Scootentole <http://www.germanscooterforum.de/topic/260697-14th-challenge-scootentole-marcillat-june-8th-2013/>

Vespa Tuning M1L Quattrini Vespa without Carb

,

Vespa Tuning made in France

This is a M1L Quattrini Smallframe racing – Vespa from France without any carburetor.

M1L Quattrini means, this Vespa engine is tuned with this cylinder kit: Quattrini M1L.

“without any carburetor”? YES!
The guys from SPRT Racing put a elctronic 2-stroke direct injection
CORRECTION: Julien mailed us: “Direct injection” means that the injector is on the cylinder head. This is not our case.
indirect injection on the Smallframe Vespa from Julien Desnuelle.

In addition:
The cylinder is an old M1L 2008, the one with the tiny reeds. It is associated to full circle Mazu crank for ETS, Vespatronic ignition and Franz exhaust : that’s a really small set-up for a K2!
The carb has been changed for a 28mm throttle body with butterfly.

Watch the racing scooter with the M1L Quattrini in action on the Scootentole Mirecourt track.
Driver: Olivier Doussot, SPRT Team.

Springrace 2013 Austria Vespa Racing

,

It was the fourth time that the season was opened with the Springrace. The event took place at the ÖAMTC testing area on the 27th of April 2013. We the DART RACINF TEAM were happy to attend once again.

DART Springrace 2013 005

The 1200 meter long circuit has some full throttle head down arse up areas, but some more complicated to handle areas as well.

The start/finish area is a specially nice part of the track. After 200 meters down hill ther comes a cumber and after this the downward slope is even deeper. If you are fast enough the contact between the tyres and tarmac is lost. Pure perfection!

This is the profile of the circuit.

strecke2

Before the race was started at 6:15 h there was the chancce to do some short testing for 40 minutes. Luckily the weather forecast came true and it was dry and sunny.

DART Springrace 2013 006 - Kopie

At 7:00 h the starters took their position.

Starting was done in classic LeMans style.

DART Springrace 2013 010

The day before where we prepared the pit stop.

DART Springrace 2013 017

The startting places were given by the lot.

Welll, who knows what this can mean….

DART Springrace 2013 015 - Kopie

The first 90 minutes of the race were complete free of problems or anything to worry about. Untill the moment where the engine bolt cracked while Robert raced the bike.

DART Springrace 2013 020 - Kopie

The repair work of changing the engine bolt throw us back from place 10 to 38.

With this bad position we had to race very steady to get back near to the top grid.

But with a long distance race we were optimistic that this wasn’t the end of all days. And other riders had their problems as well. Near us…

DART Springrace 2013 019

Beside us…

DART Springrace 2013 021

And opposite us…

DART Springrace 2013 013

But 8 hours on the track later we had to fix the bike aagain.

New brake pads were needed because of the slope on the circuit.

DART Springrace 2013 037

The remaining 4 hours were nearly without problems. Expect for one broken flywheel cover.

The Polini Evo chraged with the BigBertha and breathed by the 33 mm Keihin were faultlessly working and the perfect choice. The Sawa tyres have resisted the 12 h race very well and will be the weapon of chioce for the upcoming 24 hour race in Spain.

DART Springrace 2013 045

Especially up hill the torque low down was the right choice. The small dip at the dyno sheet is the price you have to pay for the broad power band and good power delivery. This gives a very trackable engine where you nearly always find the right gear and can accelerate like hell out of the corners.

DART Springrave V1

We were chuffed after 12 hours of racing, but satisfied with the 8th overall position.

DART Springrace 2013 041

We, the DART RACING TEAM, would like to thank the organizers and all attendends. It was a Mords Gaudi (Austrian for murder jamboree) and we hope to be back 2014!

Cheers everyone

Scooter Center Xmas P4 Duel -FINALE-

, , , ,

This is the final report about our pre-Xmas dyno shootout!

The 29.9 hp at the rear wheel of a Cast Polini 133 cylinder kit with 54mm bgm crankshaft, Keihin PWK35AS carb and Feuerzauber exhaust had to be bettered.

With 29.3 hp Jonas did very well, but missed the goal. Followed by Mathias with 29.2 hp on a Polini 133 rotary inlet engine.

Together -Jonas and Scooter Center- decided to donate the 100€ shopping voucher for “scooterist-chairty / GSF-Spendenaktion.

Scooter Center likes the idea and is addiotionally offering free dyno time to set up the Charity engine.

The gallery shows the atmosphere of the dyno shootout. Something that will hopefully continued very soon. What do you think?fin.

Because virtual reality can hardly ever beat proper live action, we recommend to have a look at the small but mean Smallframe engines the next time.

Thanks to all the people that dropped in during the day. It was pure fun and we hope to see you soon!

Vespanest Aachen Season Final 2012

Last Saturday, the last major tour started for this season. We were invited to the Vespanest Aachen season final. Meeting point was the Blaustein lake near Eschweiler. The summer temperatures of 21 degrees attracted more than 200 Vespisti. From 12 o’clock the parking lot was getting fuller by every minute and then by 1pm the parking lot was full of scooters, riders, visitors and spectators.

Have a look at the video from the start:

Vespanest Aachen Abrollern 2012

The route ran past the open pit Inden on to Langerwehe, and then via Schevenhütte and Gressenich to Stolberg, where made our halftime stop. A well-stocked service vehicle also took care of some broken down scooterists that were gathered on the trailer. After 30 minutes of service time everyone was ready to drive the second half.

After the break we went back via Würselen and Aldenhoven to the Blausteinsee. Once on site, we went to a nearby barbecue hut. Here you could then end the day with bbq and drinks and talk about the rideout.

It was a great event and the Scooter Center Team was happy to be there. We are already looking forward to participating at the Vespanest Season Opening on 11th Mai 2013.

Yesterday, we joined the fifth Cologne night run. After finishing work, Alex, Jadran, Andreas and Stefan from the Scooter Center Team went together to Cologne-Ehrenfeld. Also present was our bgm Lambretta, which was on several runs this year now has 3,500 km on the clock and which since the EuroLambretta been running perfectly without any problem. Meeting point was the Neptun Squaren where almost 75 scooter riders had gathered. Many familiar faces were there and it was an amazingly mild October night with 17°.

At 9pm the corso started. From starting point we headed out of the inner city and went to the rural northwestern suburbs. Around 60km through the night which has been a fantastic view and sound. The tour ended up in a nice local pub back in Cologne. The Scooter Center Team says thanks for this great rideout and we are looking forward to the 6th night run 2013.
