30 years a Scooterboy

Postby SlackerThePinstriper » Thu Jul 24, 2025 4:46 pm

30 years a go (April 1995) at age 12 I picked up this magazine that would set my life on a path of obsession!
Seeing Glynn Doves 'kiss me where the sun don't shine' fueled my love of all things custom that looked slightly more achievable.
I had been buying Custom Car and Street Machine previous to this but my parents house had no drive.
A scooter was achievable and within 2 years had bought and restored my first Px (POP 938Y wonder if that's still about) with the help of my Dad and close friends within the Rotherham Runaways Scooter Club.
I even won a youngest scooterist award with it at a Barnsley Vikings do.
I've met many amazing people who I can call friends, met my gorgeous wife Jo and now my oldest lad Brandon has joined the fold.
Here's to many more years.

I've copy and pasted this from another forum as I've started going through my old photos.
I know there's many on here who's been at it a lot longer (and much respect to that) but thought the Lambretta content might be appreciated on here.
Plus I started in what I class as the lean years of Scootering and as I'm still fairly young on the scene now at 42.

First up, my first proper rally at age 14 was Mersea Island 1997.
