20 years Scooter Center - Part 2: BECAUSE EVERYTHING BIG STARTS SMALL

1990: MB Developments, Taffspeed, Kegra, AF Rayspeed were and some still are big names in the scooter business. A tuning exhaust or cylinder from one of the famous tuning companies was the greatest. Ulf combines his visits to England meeting more often with shopping trips for friends. The first contacts across the channel had been made.

Germany's scooter scene is booming. The big meetings are taking place in Hamburg, Braunschweig and Aachen. With his GS 4 Custom “Good Thing” Oli wins the 200cc class of the legendary Quartermile in Brunswick.

Also in 1990, five Vespas and T3 Service van (VW Bus) are on their way from Cologne to Lake Garda. Because none of the Vespas broke down, number six is ​​bought. At Mirosso Rent close to Lake Garda there is a Vespa Rally TS 125, which was then loaded on the bus. This TS 125 is the first imported scooter by Oliver and is still with our friend Volker. Mirosso Rent is now a fixed point for Oli and in the coming years, several Vespas and Lambrettas are imported to Germany.

Meanwhile Ulf also uses his contacts in England to get complete scooters. Legendary journeys which often begin on a Friday night with the latest issue of the Scootering magazine.
