Summer party of the Lambretta Club Germany

The Lambretta Club Germany welcomed him to his last weekend summer festival invited. That SCOOTER CENTER has it proven to be one of the Main sponsors of course not to be missed from celebrating.

The weekend started with a blast: the Busters! In a private atmosphere the old hands could be seen live - hey clear - and open air. We are right at the absolutely harmonious location, the Klindworths' Gasthof & Hotel (www.klindworths.de). Definitely even without the Lambretta Club summer party worth a trip. And not just because of the low prices for delicious food and drink. Soft, home-brewed beer, a wide range of schnapps, friendly service, good breakfast, perfect sanitary facilities were very popular all weekend.

Summer festival of the German Lambretta club

Last weekend, the “Lambretta Club Deutschland” invited its trusty members and other scooter enthusiasts to their first summer festival. naturally, SCOOTER CITY CENTER, being one of the main sponsorswhat a part of the show!

The weekend started with a bang: the Busters! In an intimate, familiar atmosphere the old hands gave an open-air concert. Live, of course! Which brings us to the great location - the Klindworth's hotel, beer garden, and brewery (www.klindworths.de). What a combination! Definitely worth the trip, even without a summer festival, not only because of their reasonable prices. We got the chance to taste their self-made beer, as well as a rich assortment of liquors. Apart from that, they were able to jolly all guests along with friendly service, great breakfast and perfect sanitation.

After a 5 hour drive we reached the shortly after Nancy beautiful kart track in Mirecourt. After a short waiting time - until the supermotor drivers had cleared the space - we set up the SCK stand with our mobile dynamometer. thanks to MOTOREX tent and gas burner was the first evening of the ice saints with 5 degrees outside temperature fortunately to endure.

 

Free driving was on the program on Friday. With an entry fee of just 14 euros from 12:00 to 19:00, this is a very attractive price for anyone who wants to train or simply drive on a racetrack.

Our on-site test stand was regularly used by various scooter drivers with their Vespa or Lambretta scooters to look for or find lost horsepower. ;O)
At our SCK stand, too, there was always a good rush of those who - despite the winter-like outside temperatures - attended the event. In addition to spare parts for the racing scooters, they were the most sought-after items Vespa bags and our new ones Fastback racing seats for the Vespa.

Thanks to the high number of German and Austrian riders taking part in the actual race on Saturday in 3 different categories, it was possible to speak of a success of this “Scootentole” event. The smooth running on all days, the very good hygienic conditions, free electricity and a lot of nice people resulted in a cold but nonetheless perfect racing weekend.

NEXT year again - hopefully not on the three ice saints! ;O)

screenThe SCOOTER CENTER was at the 1st Italian Customshow in Riva on Lake Garda.

“Gardasee” sounds great - but unfortunately we only saw the lake when we drove past on arrival and departure. But the long way and the work were worth it.

The custom show took place together with the “Motorissma” car and motorcycle fair and had its own large hall. What is new and unusual for a custom show is that the show lasted 2 days. Around 60 customizers exhibited their Lambretta and Vespa scooters. Incidentally, the proportion and quality of the Lambrettas was clearly superior here.
