Vespa Club Wiehengebirge 5th anniversary

The Vespa Club Wiehengebirge celebrated its 5th anniversary and Marco Niehoff shared these great photos with us, which testify to the perfect organization of the event in Bissendorf,

“On July 08.07.2023th, 5, the Vespa Club Wiehengebirge eV celebrated its 100th anniversary with joyful company. Friends and keen Vespa enthusiasts from various clubs were warmly invited to this special occasion. The invitation was well received and more than 70 guests flocked to the event, over XNUMX of whom proudly arrived on their own Vespas.

For the first 50 scooters that arrived that day, there was an exclusive bag filled with attractive “Giveaways“. In order to have enough space for the event, we rented the DRK clubhouse in Bissendorf-Jeggen, which offered us generous space. An entertaining obstacle course for the fun games was set up in the parking lot. Here visitors were able to put their driving skills to the test and take advantage of the chance to win great prizes from our generous sponsors - including a high-quality Vespa helmet from the respected Schriewer company.

 

The obstacle course was given an additional pinch of excitement by a fully functional, old speed camera. After the visitors had completed the course, the speed camera offered the opportunity to take a souvenir photo if they exceeded a certain speed limit. For those who wanted even more snapshots of themselves and their Vespas, another flash unit was available that flashed along a marked route.

Another highlight was the Custom Show, in which each scooter was evaluated for its individual beauty and uniqueness. A homemade cell phone holder received the coveted trophy as an award at this show.


 

Of course, the physical well-being was also well taken care of. From bratwurst and delicious salads to tempting cakes and fragrant coffee – no one had to stay hungry. Given the scorching 35 degrees on this sunny day, our chilled soft drinks were particularly popular.

To live up to the spirit of Vespa, a refreshing 50 kilometer ride was organized at lunchtime. In case of emergency, a breakdown vehicle was available on the festival grounds, which fortunately was not needed.

After the exit, the winners were ceremoniously honored with generous prizes Prizes from our supporting sponsors. At this point we would like to thank all of our sponsors from the bottom of our hearts. You helped make this day an unforgettable event. Dallmann, Salon Dostal, The Village Shop, VGH, Small & Fine, Schriewer, Louis, SIP, Atelier Hartmann, Scooter Center.

A special thank you also goes to our valued visitors, the hard-working helpers, the speed camera collectors and the committed members of the DRK association. Without your support, this day would not have been able to shine in its full glory.

So this wonderful day, filled with lively petrol conversations and exciting activities, unfortunately came to an end far too quickly. Many thanks again to everyone who helped make this day an unforgettable experience.”

Vespa PX 80 Lusso with 177cc engine


Vespa Px

This year I have owned the Vespa for 10 years. The 80 engine was swapped for a 125 block and with a Polini 177cc cylinder, Malossi membrane, Mazzucchelli racing shaft and a 30 Dellorto carburettor refined. The results of the tuning are constant 18 PS.
After a crash with the PX, I also started modifying the optics. This gave the Vespa a PX Alt look, hump seat, drop handlebars, disc brake, short-stroke throttle grip and a new paint job.
I'm exactly right with the renovation Scooter Center Open Day finished and had a nice trip from Koblenz.

Vespa T4

I bought the T4 in the color “Indian Bamboo” in 2016 as the second scooter after I re-entered the scooter scene. Before that I got a PX like the one I had in the 2s and the access to the scene made me want older scooters. After the T80 I have two more Smallframe (round light) and an Acma and a VB1T. So you won't get bored...

The T4 was available in luxury and basic, I have the basic version with 3 speeds, but the chrome trim on the cheeks that the luxury model actually had.

Inexperienced as I was, I bought the T4 “restored”. This means that after the purchase we had to completely rebuild both the engine and the bearing seats in the steering head. But the original engine remained in it. I drove it from 2017-2022, with a 177 DR (on 2 channels). It had almost 10 hp and ran without any problems. I always took the T4 with me on vacation together with the PX, so it has already covered many km for me.

Last winter the engine was from Andreas Nagy Has been reworked, has had a 3rd channel milled and a 190 Pinasco Magny Cours on long stroke. I put it to the test for the first time at your Open Day. I'm not completely satisfied with the performance yet, it's only 13 HP, but at 16,6 NM. I hope a little more can be done to improve the carburettor tuning.

Stefan Eichhorn

Technically I have completely overhauled the scooter. In addition to all the standards and conversion to 12V, the scooter was mainly built with BGM components. Hence that too BGM under the lettering on the leg shield ;) The engine was classic BGM-Stuff built. 187 cylinder, long stroke shaft, 26 Si carburettor, Superstrong, 65/23 gear ratio and box exhaust. Chassis too BGM. Drives very nicely.

Since then, the scooter has accompanied me very reliably in everyday life, as well as on some tours with my boys from Flatliners SC

Stefan Eichhorn

Bajaj Chetak

It's a Bajaj Chetak from '84. So the beautiful one with trapezoidal handlebars and actually quite rare in this condition (even if she is usually rated as "just an Indian").
I got the scooter a few years ago from a nice gentleman in Cologne. The Bajaj was imported via Hamburg in '84 and was driven by the gentleman as its first owner for several years.

I deliberately didn't "dress up" the scooter into a Vespa Sprint, but left it as a Bajaj. Only a few things had to be adjusted for visual reasons.

Acma v56 

Year 57 

It was brought from France 2 years ago and then completely taken apart. Everything was cleaned and the paint was kneaded, cleaned, sanded, polished and sealed.
A year ago the revision came from Enderle solution.

Vespa VNB

My Tuscany Vespa tour was planned. Before that there was a visit to Scooter Center on the plan.

I got a few spare parts and stored them in the one I newly designed Vespa Bags

and was able to set off towards home with my Vespa VNB, built in 1961, without any worries.

In beautiful weather, I drove past many towns on my Vespa and felt happy and free.
When I arrived at the top of the Gotthard Pass, I was already a third of the way through my journey.
Italy wasn't far away. The smell of freshly baked cornetti and freshly brewed coffee lured me into an espresso bar. This scent cannot be described in words.

As a child I would probably have said "that's what happiness must smell like".
Of course a second Cornetto found mine Vespa Bag Place.

I drove on towards the sun through the idyllic hills, the pine and cypress-lined country roads of my Tuscany, past magnificent villas and old castles.
In front of me was a beautiful landscape characterized by olive trees and vineyards from which top wines such as olive oil are made.

The leaning tower of Pisa was already visible and the silhouettes of other famous cities such as Florence and Siena slowly appeared one after the other.

Now I had arrived at my destination. I strapped mine Vespa Bag from the leg shield of my beloved classic car and took it with me.

P200E

Bought a year ago in Augsburg, it had been deregistered and stood in a barn for 22 years.
Purchase price 2022 (€250)
You only get lucky like that once and my lucky find was an original P200E outer jaw 200cc in O-lacquer

Everything was redone over the winter, the paint was sanded, polished and sealed several times to preserve everything. Completely turned inside out and every screw replaced.
Accordingly, the engine was optimized and more power was added.

VM1T 125

I bought the Faro Basso (VM1T) from 1953 in May '22 and completely restored it. Unfortunately, the floor panel had to be re-welded in because the previous owner did not repair it professionally. The Vespa was painted in the original color Grigio 15048. Side jaws and headlights are made of aluminum. They provide a little more steam Pinasco 160cc cylinder, a Pinasco racing shaft, a 12V Pinasco Flytech ignition, a modified primary gear ratio and a CP23 Polini carburettor. It is coupled with a Cosa2 clutch. It ensures beautiful driving bgm PRO SC/R1 Sport shock absorber. The original Italian letter (blue booklet) from 1953 from the first owner is still there.

NSU Prima D

 

The NSU Prima D was produced as a successor to the Lambretta after the licenses had expired. This scooter has been in the family since 1957 and was purchased from Zweirad Lindlau in Cologne. Starting in 2014, it was gradually restored and has run a good 4000 km since then. It's just fun 🤩 to drive along the country roads with such an old treasure and listen to the two-stroke engine at work.

Actually it was supposed to be an old school project with a double carburettor (stuff still available, will come again when, because stuff from the 80s and 90s too) but then I came across a bundle with the Polini H2O and decided on it first, which is what I wanted back then already have.
In terms of spare parts, it looks pretty bad for such old stuff, for example cylinder head gasket, where I met an Italian through a Facebook group who makes his own gaskets specifically for this and still has a lot of nice things from that time.
Hoses and other little things in blue, should mentally go to Polini ☺️
The rims are also completely rebuilt, even wider with an Ost moped rim, as the hub diameter is the same as the Piaggio spoke rims.
The saddle was made by the local saddler, the gold from the Piaggio lettering is the same as the gold from the rim hubs.
It's not all old school, but I prefer the tires and brake levers and controls to be more modern.

Simson scooter SR50

Here's the little story
I used to drive a Zündapp Hercules and a Victoria when I was younger and always had fun tinkering
The screw shop then moved into the automotive industry
In his 21st year, my good friend had an SR50 Simson that was not in good condition and he wanted to build it, but he then bought another SR50 in better condition...and I took over the other SR50
That's what happened in the evening conversation (typical buddy; come on, let's rebuild both SR50s 😝.
Said and done …
The scooters were completely dismantled,
All parts sandblasted,
And all parts that were still usable were repainted/powdered
Then it was time to rebuild all the screws, rubber wear parts, wiring harness lights and were replaced... The engine was completely disassembled and overhauled with new and old parts
On September 09.2023, 50, an SRXNUMX was ready except for stickers and running in the new parts
I then traveled to your lovely meeting with 4 other people from Limburg Weilburg with 3 mopeds to be seen again
It was originally built except for the indicators, paint and the engine was converted to 60cc
Greetings 👋

Vespa crazy riders – a Real Scooterist from Italy

We have had the opportunity to meet Mateo, an Italian #realscooterist who vibrates with the sound of the Vespa. With his YouTube channel Vespa crazy riders, with almost 6 thousand subscribers, he shares his adventures, both on the roads and with his Vespa, with hundreds of tips that help us fulfill the dream we all share, traveling with us Scooters!

Below we asked him a couple of questions so that you can also get to know him a little better.

How did you catch the Vespa fever?

My first Vespa was a PK 50 FL2 at 15 years old, given to me from an old uncle, she has a 75cc and I ride her carelessly for a lot, but after a crash I let her stopped in the garage. After some years, of renting a modern scooter during holidays, I find myself trying to brake with foot (that scooter didn't have a brake pedal) and a spark rebegin to fire in me… VESPA! I WANT a VESPA!
And so, after discovering that Piaggio was still producing the PX, I've decided to buy a new one to write our History from Zero together, “Vanda” my PX 125 E3.
Immediately I felt Vespa was the perfect solution to satisfy my desire to travel and explore the world. 

Matteo

Norkapp winter

This brought me in 2018, together with my friend Mattia Stabio and his Vespa PX (twin of mine with sequential number plate), to be the first classic VESPAs in history to reach Nordkapp in Winter, after a so amazing and so hard road trip with 120km/h snowstorm, thousands of km on an ice pack and 30°C below zero.

Now the Vespa FL2 is under restoration and with bgm special parts I think it will become a cool monster on the road!

I have a friend from Vespa Clubs from all over the World and now I'm a member of Vespa Club Airola of my friend Salvatore.

Why Vespa crazy riders?

I decided to create the YT Channel because I've learned a lot of what I know about Vespa from other scooterists, so I think that sharing information, advices, and tips is essential in a passion and I want to do my part. With the power of internet, we can reach a lot of enthusiasts like us all over the world!

I'm not a mechanic, but I'm a Vespa traveler, and I think that a Vespa traveler should know enough about Vespa to prepare it for the ride, for eventually fix it during trips, and to maintain his Vespas after several KMs done . This for improve the safety and the pleasure of his ride.
And that's what I do on mine YT Channel and social media 

@vespacrazyriders on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.

In my contents you can find tips about maintenance, tuning, and equipment you need for a better and safer ride, and obviously all my travels to discover beautiful places and amazing roads!

What's your next destination?

My future projects are to continue Exploring the world, by going to other continents, while also creating a solid community of friends addicted to Crazy Riders, from web to the reality during events and meetings.
My passion and my excitement for this is to continue to improve “vanda” tune equipment and with Scooter Center and bgm parts, I've found for years a step forward in quality and realiability.

So, the last modification will always be the next one!

Veybach Racing and Ciao Custompaint

Veybach is already a friend of the house, but they have a long history behind them: “For over 25 years, we have been passionately tinkering and tuning classic Piaggio mopeds”

Therefore, this custom paint Ciao, presented as a premiere at the #opendaysc, was not his first tuning.

We saw his work in action first hand Nörvenich moped race witnessed Frank, Roland and Maryza taking their Ciaos on a tour of the event. and with the adrenaline of seeing all these little ones doing their best, we didn't hesitate for a second when Veybach Racing Team needed spare parts to continue the race and we sacrificed the Ciao from Roland.

That's why we wanted to take a closer look at one of their new designs: the Custompaint Ciao. This is what Dirk tells us:

Moped race Nörvenich by Scooter Center and Veybach racing. #mopedtuning


Ciao Custompaint

“What started out as an idea turned out to be our most complex paint project to date. 

Only through the support of the entire team, my business partners:

Powder Design Gibesch 
HaPe bikes 
Scooter Center 
and my friend Rolf Bubmann
The project was finally able to get to the @scootercenter on time Open Day on March 23.09.23, XNUMX to get presented! 💪



hapebikes

I had the “ICE effect” when I visited HaPe Bikes Workshop on one of the competition bikes he had painted and was immediately impressed. After a short conversation with him, we decided to try something like this on a larger area, i.e. on a moped. 👍

I then completed all the preparatory work so that Rolf could completely paint the Ciao, including all add-on parts, in silver.
All parts then went to Hape, who applied the “ICE effect” and also all of our logos using a complex paint job. 🥰


ICE effect



In the first step, all parts that had previously been painted silver were sanded again so that the urea required for the effect would otherwise roll off on the clear coat and not achieve the desired effect. After it had dried and crystallized, Hape painted a layer of anthracite over it and washed everything off again after drying 🤣
The remains of anthracite remained in the “crystal structure”, which is then responsible for the desired effect. A total of 7 layers of purple glaze were then applied over this structure, which was sealed again with a layer of clear varnish!
Now it was time to sand again... So that the logos of everyone involved could then be painted on. For this purpose, Hape created special negative stencils using a plotter.
Then there were another 2 coats of clear varnish and lots of sanding and polishing work.

While painting the logos, René came up with the idea of ​​not using the 16″ 3-spoke “Avio” that he had already powdered in “Blackberry Candy” (and already fully assembled by me 😝), but one of my 17″ 5 -Spoke “Banana”… But then powder them in the shimmering “Rainbow” like the logos! So I'll get to it quickly @selog_brock
Ordered 2 Michelin Pilot Street and installed everything again... 🙄🤣



After I then on September 18.09th. all painted parts and on September 19.09th. After I got the rims back, I was able to start assembling them 😎
A little “screw marathon” with kid gloves then took place the next evenings, after my main work was over… 😴

An attempt was made to incorporate many details, such as color-matching end sleeves, Bowden cables and much more. Even the gearbox housing was painted in shimmering black.

The engine, on the other hand, was kept quite classic.
A Polini Speedengine with a DR crankshaft and a 57cc AlfaErre cylinder from the 90s was installed. There was also a 13/13 Dellorto carburettor with a Malossi air filter and a LeoVinci Krul to properly release the exhaust gases 😉

As a team and also with the support of my employer, I was finally able to finish everything in time so that the presentation at the Open Day on September 23.09rd. nothing stood in the way anymore 💪

Thanks also to the whole team Scooter Center, who supported us with the parts supply and also the fantastic stand at the Open Day!”

That was the Scooter Center Open day 23.09.23

Our second #OpenDaySC this year was actually planned as a small end to the season. (see Open Day April here) With the fantastic sunshine continuing, there is fortunately no question of the end of the season.

In addition to our Open Day classics such as free use of the test stand, the large private and SC parts market, there were also some new program items.

Moped parts market

Lots of visitors on the Open Day

Galleries Open Day 23' - September edition

Here are the highlights, exhibitors, scooters and visitors

Vespa V98

This Vespa V98 was at the Open Day for the second time and on its own. When have you seen this before? And then almost in the wild...

The Vespa 98 was the first mass-produced Vespa from Piaggio. It was built between 1946 and 1947 and is divided into four series: V.98/1 and V.98/2 and from 1947 V.98/3 and V.98/4, although the modifications were insignificant. The V98 has a 98 cc engine, a three-speed gearbox and a top speed of 60 km/h. The leg shield is evenly curved. There is no main stand and for parking it is leaned on an outrigger that protrudes from the rear running board on the left and right.

Auf dem test things were similarly lively. Arno and Roland made their debut in the role of P4 operators and did a great job. Despite everything, over 50 runs in 5 hours left my ears ringing.

Basti (Bastian Koch) delivered the most powerful Vespa with his VNB powered by a BFA360: 56 HP!
Meisi (Marc Meis) has parked the most powerful Lambretta on the roll. Marc rebuilt a Targa twin from scratch with the components of his choice and delivered 40 hp.     

The most powerful Ciao delivered a good 10 hp and came from René Klein.

Main shaft bgm 


Main shaft bgm

The main shaft is a central component for safety, it represents the connection between the engine and the rear wheel. Original Innocenti main shafts are more than 50 years old and no one can be sure what has happened to the main shaft during this period of time. Especially if the assembly is incorrect and the torque is too high, the main shaft can shear off at the transition between the thread and the main shaft. A huge danger that can be avoided with a new, good quality main wave.

EST race report Wittgenborn for the 4th round 2023

Race report Wittgenborn

After the end of the summer break, the two- and four-stroke sounds of the EST finally started again. The penultimate race was in Hessen at the Vogelsbergring. Most of the favorites in the classes were determined. But the pursuers still had every chance of getting 100 points by the end of the season. The conditions for the competitions were ideal. The weather was raging on Friday night, so that ideal racing conditions prevailed in time for qualifying. And the times were incredibly fast. The best time of the day was: 51.232 in the K6 driven by Galeasso.

Four stroke sounds of the EST

The results of the weekend sorted by class:

K1 – Rookies by Scooter Attack

The first race of the day ended very early for second-placed Herrmann. Immediately after the pre-start, he had to push his scooter back into the pits due to a technical defect and was unable to start. Urban on pole had a clear run. However, he could not take the race casually. Vanore on two took aim at him. For third place, there was an exciting duel between Bechert and Kienzle. In lap 3, the race had to be red-flagged for a short time after Braun fell. And so it got exciting again at the restart, because the lead that had been built up was gone. At the top, the old positioning immediately returned. Urban ahead of Vanore and Bechert.

In the second race, Herrmann was able to start again after an engine swap. But after a short time it was called a technical failure again. Urban at the top had almost no competition. Vanore couldn't quite keep up in terms of speed. Kienzle came in 3rd place. And drew the field of three lap after lap on the way to the checkered flag. In the end, Urban won the daily ranking of the Rookies by Scooter-Attack with two faultless races.

Daily classification class 1 – Pitbike by Scooter-Attack

  1. #90 Marcus Urban 50pts
  2. #54 Federico Fanore 40 pts
  3. #88 Frank Bechert 29 pts.

Class 2 – by Deutscher Bauservice

Danish power at the SuperSport. Pedersen in first place followed by Ebeling and Sperling. Pedersen was able to pull out a lead. Ebeling looked best until the end to finish second. At times it went back and forth between the field of three. However, Ebeling received a time penalty for overtaking on lap 1 when yellow and therefore had to give up second place to Thönnissen. Sparrow came in 12rd place.

Pedersen was able to take the lead in the second race as well. But Thönnissen wanted to have a say in winning and was able to take the lead. As in the first race, the field of pursuers was close together. Drath and Sperling lurked behind Pedersen. In the field of four, every mistake was punished mercilessly. In any case, Pedersen put a lot of pressure on Thönnissen. He held up well. In the end, Pedersen was able to cleverly outbrake Thönnissen and thus take first place

Daily classification class 2 - SuperSport by Deutscher Bauservice


#551 Emil Pedersen

  1. #551 Emil Pedersen 50 pts.
  2. #43 Philipp Thönnissen 36 pts.
  3. #265 Patrick Ebeling 33 pts.

Class 3 - Expert by Scooter-Attack

In the Experts, Schnelle started the first race the best. Lukas was second, followed by Kovac. Everything looked good for a Schnelle win. The lead was right and the speed was great too. However, on lap 2, Schnelle fell directly in the long start-finish corner and had to end the race prematurely. Lukas at the top, followed by Kovac and Schmitt came in 5rd place. Nothing changed in this positioning until the finish line. Lukas drove a deserved victory in front of Kovac.


#45 Denis Kovac and #33 Carsten Schmitt

In the last race it got really uncertain again. The rain forecast said rain in the tenth round. Close your eyes and hope to drive 15 laps without a drop. Due to the absence of Schnelle, the path was clear for Lukas. At least 4th place and he can make the sack in the championship and become an early champion in the Expert. And that's how Lukas started. Away in front with top speed. Kovac struggled behind, but couldn't get within striking distance. 3rd place, like in the first race, went to Schmitt. Lukas crashed on lap 7 and gave the lead to Kovac. Schmitt was also able to move up to 2nd place. The pilots chased each other. But it didn't go the full distance. Punctually after 75% race distance and 12 laps it started to dribble. Before the asphalt could turn into soft soap, the race control ended the race and declared Kovac the early winner ahead of Schmitt and Lukas.

Day class 3 - Expert by Scooter-Attack

  1. #45 Denis Kovac 45 pts
  2. #111 Andreas Lukas 41 pts.
  3. #33 Carsten Schmitt 36 pts.

Class 4 - Supramatic & BigBore

The first three starters at the BigBore's promised two great races. Ong in the lead against pursuers Monaya and Lukas. Ong had to do everything to keep Monaya in check behind him. Lukas couldn't quite keep up with the pace of the two. Monaya showed a lot of calmness and arranged Ong. ´With excess speed we passed him on the inside on the long start-finish. Ong then had to be careful not to be overtaken by Lukas as well.

The second race led Monaya from the start. Ong in 2nd place in chase mode, who was in turn chased by Lukas. Round after round the image manifested itself. Monaya was able to increase the distance bit by bit. The same applied to the gap between second and third place. 

Day rating class 4 - Supramatic & BigBore

  1. #12 Stephane Monaya 50 pts
  2. #169 Yannik Ong 40 pts
  3. #738 Andreas Lukas 32 pts.

Class 5 - PitBike Stock by Scooter-Attack


Henning Grass 221

There was a little surprise right at the start with the pit bikes. Gras had to give up his lead to F. Schweitzer on the first lap. J. Schweitzer came third, closely followed by Fritzsch. A great four-way battle. All pilots were only separated by a tire width and so a change of position could happen at any time. F. Schweitzer closed well, keeping grass behind him. F. Schweitzer was the first to cross the finish line ahead of Gras and Fritzsch.

In the second race, F. Schweitzer led the field. Gras and J. Schweitzer on two and three. In round 6, Gras could catch F. Schweitzer. And so the leading trio of Gras, F. Schweitzer and J. Schweitzer drove lap after lap towards the checkered flag. In the end, F. Schweitzer won ahead of Gras and J. Schweitzer.

Day rating class 5 - PitBike Stock by Scooter-Attack

  1. #186 Florian Schweitzer 50 pts.
  2. #221 Henning Grass 40 pts.
  3. #54 Julian Schweitzer 29 pts.

Grade 6 - GP Open

By far the fullest field was this race in class 6. The guest starters from Italy showed special class and made it quite difficult for the traditional field around Schweitzer & Co. And that's how the race went. Galeasso at the top, under pressure from Schweitzer. He found himself in an Italian sandwich with Bertini and Galeasso. A great three-way battle that culminated in the many lappings. Schweitzer was able to take advantage of the opportunity in the tight network of bends and passed Galeasso in an ice-cold manner. It was already looking like a victory for Schweitzer when Galeasso tried everything again on the last lap. His ambition was to be rewarded shortly before the end and he was still able to grab Schweitzer. Third place went to Bertini.

The second race got off to a fantastic start for Galeasso. He was able to open up a small gap to second place early on on grass. He had to assert himself against Bertini the whole time. He pushed corner after corner and should be rewarded quickly. Gras had to let him go. F. Schweitzer and Bresciani fought for fourth place. In the end, Galeasso had to really fight against his Italian compatriot to avoid being conceded when he was lapped. But he did everything right, stayed cool and clinched the day's win in class 2.

Day ranking class 6 - GP-Open


Ezio Galeasso6

  1. #6 Ezio Galeasso 50pts
  2. #20 Michael Bertini 36 pts
  3. #86 Florian Schweitzer 33 pts.

Grade 7 - Beginners

A wide-ranging starting field, also for beginners. A great development for the class and a good opportunity to gain racing experience in the big EST circus. Altmeppen in 1st place. He was by far the fastest in training. Frauenhoff was second, ahead of Eikenbusch. The race was littered with failures and falls. Altmeppen only got a little of all of this. He had to keep his nerve when lapping. For Frauenhoff, on the other hand, things did not go well. He had to park the scooter after the fall. The podium looked like this: Altmeppen ahead of Eikenbusch and Mirche.

Daily classification Class 7 - Beginners

  1. #494 Niklas Altmeppen 25 pts.
  2. #70 Nils Eikenbusch 20 pts.
  3. #51 Felix Mirche 16 pts.

Class 8 Endurance & 9 Endurance Split

In the long-distance, a record popularity was recorded among drivers. A total of 26 teams competed in the 3-hour challenge. In the K8, the SA Tuning team marked the top. Bueno`s could not keep up with the lap times. The lead grew – lap by lap. In class 9 with several vehicles, on the other hand, there was an exciting three-way battle. Xpear, Mieze 2 and Braam fought hard for the podium. After 1/3 of the race distance, the distance between the opponents was just 12 seconds. The Xpear Factory Team was able to claim the lead at this time. After 2/3 of the race distance, the rating looked much clearer. Xpear Factory Team was able to get a decent gap of 2 laps on the Mieze 2 team. Braam was third. it got tighter again. Place 3 and 4 went back and forth between Mieze and Racefoxx Pitbike ED. In the K5, SA Tuning was replaced by JD Performance. Bueno's was in third place. 8 minutes before the end there was a crucial technical defect. Mieze 3 lying in 10nd place had to push into the pit lane. The team was able to continue the race, but could not do anything against Xpear. And also in K2 it got the second JD-Performance was just behind Bueno's before the vehicle went on strike. And which means very briefly, that showed the finish line. 2 tenth distance after 8 hours of racing, that was a real heartbeat race.

Daily classification class 8 endurance

  1. #82 Bueno's 189 laps
  2. #191 JD Performance 189 laps
  3. #199 SA tuning 188 laps

Day classification class 9 Endurance Split

VTC Kempen 40 years – Vespa meeting 2023

The VTC Kempen or Vespa Touring Club Kempen celebrated its 40th anniversary last weekend. Much asphalt has passed under its tires since 1983 and this celebration could not be otherwise. 140 Vespas, both automatic and vintage, took part in the outing on Saturday, August 26th.

Surrounded by friends, helpers, supporters, family and committed club members, there was celebration in the Tiki Bar and at the night with live music.

Vespa Club Regensburg – This is how the summer party was 29-31.07.23

The Vespa Club Regensburg enjoyed its summer festival and even if it wasn't quite as summery, it didn't spoil the mood of the visitors. Joachim Meister reports on the details, challenges and results of this great event!

VC Regensburg preparations

 

How great was the euphoria just a few weeks before the eagerly awaited event. The various team leaders had committed their helpers to 3 hard-working days. Every nook and cranny has been filed and improved. All heads bowed over the construction plans... "If we moved this stand another 2 meters in this direction, then it would be...."

As the weekend approached, it soon became clear that we had to react spontaneously and throw the construction plan overboard again, because the weather forecast didn't look good at all and the predicted rain had to be counteracted with tents and pavilions.

Said and done. More than 40 hard-working helpers did their best, but the bar, grill and bar should still be ready for the warm-up on Friday evening. Because at least Friday it stayed dry so far.

In the early afternoon, the first guests began to arrive...and the number kept growing.

What was intended a few years ago as a nice gesture for individuals who didn't stay overnight so that they don't feel lost in the evening is now being accepted more and more. With their own members, a good 100 people were already in the best of party moods on Friday.


Vespa Club Regensburg


the first guests


hard-working helpers

The summer festival begins!!!!


das Wetter

Saturday started a bit more cautiously. Gray sky, it dribbled again and again. A lap around the square showed once again how loyal the Vespa family is to us. Austria, Switzerland, North Rhine-Westphalia, Schleswig-Holstein – no…. The summer festival of the Regensburgers is no longer a small local meeting in the Bavarian province.

This is also shown by the dealer mile. In addition to the local heroes Roller Schmid, Rollerladen and MEM Motors, Vesbar from Munich and Scooter Pezzi from Ludwigshafen are also at the start.

Only the weather - yes, that should still present us with challenges and, above all, decisions.

The first thing he fell victim to was the guided tours. A dozen tour guides were suddenly unemployed. A few days before that, the routes had been driven...

bouncy castle? Test bench? Too wet for the technique. So they didn't work either.

The mood? Even with the third morning rain shower, it still held out. So our guides spontaneously decided to offer individual tours to the Liberation Hall in Kelheim or to the Walhalla in Donaustauf during the short dry periods. Our guests shouldn't just sit around in the square all day, they should also see something of the beautiful area around Regensburg. Regensburg actually lived up to its name until the early afternoon. But that stopped only a few from coming to us. Over 330 vehicles we counted until then.

But unfortunately none of them should take part in the parade this year. On the advice of our friends from the fire brigade, we had to cancel this for the first time with a heavy heart. And that although, meanwhile, it had even dried up a bit. But this decision should also be absolutely correct. We would have driven straight into a heavy thunderstorm front with our eyes wide open.


The mood

Raffle Vespa Club Regensburg

Unusual tours, parade canceled, test bench not even set up. So the thought was quite obvious that maybe the raffle, the proceeds of which were supposed to support the Lengfeld fire brigade and the BRK standby Bad Abbach, would fall into the water.

We do not know whether it is due to the numerous donations in kind from our supporters such as dem Scooter Center, the scooter shop, POLO motorcycle or the VCVD was or because of the incredibly beautiful and familiar atmosphere. In this year's significantly reduced number, our guests managed what more than 800 people had not been able to do the year before: shortly before the end of ticket sales, the Losstand announced that all 1.000 tickets had been sold. Proof that it's not the number of guests that matters, just how WHO is there.

The weather gods had some mercy on us for the rest of the evening, which immediately gave us a new tradition with the spontaneous “Sundowner Tour” to Prunn Castle in the Altmühltal. The unplanned circumstances have given us some ideas for 2024 anyway. One can be curious.


lost


supporters

Vespa party

But what is sure to remain is the evening party – whether outside, in the vine arbor or in the bar tent. If you only see each other once a year anyway, a little water from above can't spoil the partying.

So everyone can be curious about the highlights of the summer festival in 2024. We're still a long way from running out of ideas.

Block the appointment now: From 26.07. until 28.07.2024/XNUMX/XNUMX see you on the island!

Vespa World Days 2023 with Platónika

With the idea of VWD 23 Visiting Switzerland had been on our minds for a long time, but only decided the day before, and Platónika and I set off from Cologne to Interlaken to finally do what Platónika was created for: Attending events and telling stories.


Platonic on the way

Day 1 on the way to the Vespa World Days 2023

Being a scooter with absolutely everything "new" (2021), it did not require major maintenance, nevertheless it is not superfluous, at least one spare, Olive oil, Train set Universal and spark plug to have.

After work at 18:30 I set off and after five and a half hours of motorway driving and 442km I arrived in Freiburg to meet Vespistas who were on the road.

And one of the problems with going out at night is the lack of light, but the LED headlights make a big difference.

Day 2 Interlaken country road

Already again with the Warrior Scooter Club united, we decided to drive the remaining 180 km through the beautiful countryside to Interlaken.

SC was there!

We couldn't go empty-handed in the hunt for souvenirs, so we renewed the passion of some who have followed us closely over these 30 years and gained new enthusiasts!

 

Meeting friends, making new friends, representing Colombia at the presidential meeting for the first time, expanding my collection of treasures and, above all, strengthening the relationship of trust with Platónika are just a few of the many experiences that I remember.

but the return trip will be less and less fun. Almost 9 hours on the Autobahn home. Even though I have the best speed I've ever had! (I drive almost 120 km/h continuously) 🤩

Thank you everyone for this great experience!

A Royal Alloy story by one Real Scooterist

At "Real Scooterists” is all about stories that are not shown in spectacular videos but shared in conversations between us because the stories are part of our daily scooter passion and our lives. Today we had the opportunity to tell the story of Elmar, a scooterist from Cologne.

About me:

Elmer from Cologne
Bj. 1967

Elmer and Royal Alloy

Vespa PX 80 (135DR)              
1983 - 1986 with 43000 km driven in these three years 😎 ( "Apparently you had time”)

("You have to be unlucky in life 😖😉") The absolute nightmare - how could I ❓

Vespa Sprint 150 Veloce       

( "The Daily Oldi with which even the way to work was fun for years - and not everyone can say that 🤭") 

Swing saddle, PX 200 engine with 210 Malossi, Cosa clutch, sports crankshaft and modified translation. 

A little dream until the total loss followed in 2002. Accident - through no fault of one's own, 9 months away from work, child 2 years old and the decision: - never again two-wheelers -

Royal Alloy

2023        20 years later
This is my first hearing about British manufacturer Royal Alloy 
(Made in Thailand and China).

fall in love instantly Lots of sheet metal, removable hoods, ABS, the 300 Vespa GTS QUASAR engine built under license with 25 hp inside and already a cult in the UK. Haven't really arrived here yet, although I think it's a really successful replica of a Lambretta 2nd or 3rd series.

I then decide on the 2nd series (Royal Alloy TG 300 S) and am lucky that there is a dealer in Brühl.

Due to the position in the English market, many accessories and indeed some accessories fit the old original Lambretta.
Through research in TORQUAY (UK) I find the club “Torbay Mods Scooter Club” with 50 – 60 members.
The special feature: Although founded by older boys, every make is welcome. (Sure, Lammys and Vespas dominate). I like that and I'll get in touch. I get very friendly feedback.
As there was a tour to Wales planned for this year (by car) I make an appointment to meet some of the Torbay Mods in Paignton.

"This year I was with my new scooter at the "Open Day" of the Scooter Centers and was able to get to know Maryzabel from advertising, among other things”


Elmer and wife

So the idea:
I'll ask for some merchandise for the mods in the UK.
As a matter of course, an impressive merchandise package was put together for me, which the English were also more than enthusiastic about. Scooter Center and bgm is also a concept there.

Thank you again on behalf of everyone Scooter Center. An unforgettable day for me and certainly a special one for the English.


Merchandise pack

Everyone who met me and my wife there was super friendly and interested. By the way, there was also a Zundapp scooter, shiny chrome Vespas, original Lammys, a Royal Alloy....
A small delegation from an otherwise large club that goes out every Sunday and meets for a chat at the harbor every Wednesday (in bad weather in the pub ;).
Contact with Torquay will definitely be maintained. Dream would be to go there by scooter. Let's see.
Yes - I had never forgotten that the scooter was an important part of my life and – it has remained so – just now without the clutch ;)
