Appetizer for a new Vespa catalog
Vespa GT, GTS, LX, S and Co.
We are already working on a new Vespa catalog, even though the last one is not even 6 months old.
This time it is a catalog for the new, “modern” Vespas: Vespa GT, GTS, LX, S and Co.
As an appetizer, we have already completed a flyer for the new models.

Classic Race at the Nürburgring scooter race
Last weekend the 19th run of the “Cologne Course” from MSC Porz took place.
We from SCOOTER CENTER TEAM were again represented in large numbers.
After the final preparations and joint inviting of all the equipment and the racing scooters on Saturday morning, it was finally around 14:30 p.m. towards the ring. Once there, we met many familiar faces. The large CONTINENTAL TENT, the grill, the racing scooters etc. were quickly unloaded and set up.
After the technical acceptance, transponder assembly and the legendary driver briefing, the final preparations were made on the scooters.
Luckily got that SCOOTER CENTER TEAM still the box no. 25. So the very rainy Saturday evening with a barbecue under the tent, music and the typical gasoline conversations was a complete success for those present from the Classic Scooter racing scene.
It wouldn't be the ring if it weren't for rain and sun on a weekend, an old Nürburgring rabbit once told me. The same thing happened on Sunday at 8:00 a.m. with the first coffee it was still quite humid and punctually at 10:00 a.m. for training it was nice and dry.
Almost all of our 12 scooters got through more or less well, but even our “T-Roller” was still used.
Fortunately, a lot of spectators came to the ring. Many familiar faces from the scooter scene were present. Overall, drivers from all parts of Germany but also from AT, GB, BE, FR and even Canada were represented.
Scooter Center successful and with a lot of fun at the start
At about 14:00 the start finally took place, the one with a
- 2nd place in regularity,
- the fastest "girl scooter" and
- with 12 scooters from 70 starters, on our part
was generally very satisfactory. We are already looking forward to the next race.
Greetings to all contributors - see you soon and get well soon to start number 6.

Scooter race on the Nürburgring 2009
Since 2004, regular scooter races have taken place on the Nürburgring again.
We owe this opportunity to the MSC Porz, who offers a “regularity run” for classic scooters as part of the Cologne course. For most of us that means: evenly full throttle! ;-)
The SCOOTER CENTER has been represented by the racing team every year since 2004.
On Saturday was heavy rain in the dry SCOOTER CENTER Box grilled and screwed in the paddock.
We were able to greet many friends and familiar faces again. The hard core was swept out of the box at 1:30 - after all, the first training session was scheduled for 10:40 on Sunday.
Sunday came up with the best weather. During training we had 20 minutes to determine the fastest drivers and then to determine the starting grid. In the first row of the grid there were 1 starters from SCOOTER CENTER Team (Harry Barlow & Christian Schneider).
If the weather was fine, repairs and maintenance work could be carried out in the open air after the first training session. After the SCK grill had given everything again at noon, the race started.
The Green Hell took its toll: of 65 starters, only 45 made it to the finish (cancellations, no accidents)
The SCOOTER CENTER Team was able to record several successes:
Place 2 Christian Schneider (Regularity evaluation)
Tanya Kluger - fastest woman in the field ;-)
The next appointment at the Nürburgring for classic scooters is September 13 “Renoldus Sprint”
The SCOOTER CENTER is looking forward to it!
Roll-up - start of the season in Munich
On Sunday the Munich scooter community met for the annual season opening, the “roll-on”.
The appointment was made in GSF and they met at the classic car meeting on the Theresienweise. “Otto” Jan Brand had once again chosen a great route via Schäftlan Abbey. After about 1,5 hours of driving, the group reached this year's destination: the Aufhofener Weiher.
1st SCK Classic Day on Saturday:
Hats off! Thank you for your attendance - despite the adverse conditions - numerous!
Always nice to see that scooter ride at EVERY weather is fun. 80 test bench runs with a maximum of 38,2 HP on the rear wheel, over 100 sausages and plenty of cola, coffee and beer contributed to a relaxing day.
We hope you've got one or two bargains and we're excited to see how much stainless steel will be on soon Smallframes can be seen ;-).

The original T5 exhaust from Piaggio is back!
"The classic, not a bad choice for the tuning cylinder either."
The original exhaust of the PX / T5 models is unbeatable in terms of quality. Very thick sheet metal and neat workmanship justify the higher price compared to the replica systems.
It is also interesting how well the original exhaust performs in a direct comparison of performance. Compared to a hand-made resonance system, it lacks up to 4 kW of peak power, but it is in the Bandwidth absolute favorite. If you want to build a touring engine that will drive from here to Timbuktu, you will hardly be able to get past the original exhaust. In many cases, maximum ground clearance and very low consumption are factors that should not be underestimated.
Conclusion: The classic, not a bad choice for the tuning cylinder either.
The hot off the press catalog was delivered to us on Friday, and we were able to send the first copies immediately.
You can find the price list for the catalog here for download.
How do you get the new Vespa catalog?

Finally again scooter races on the Nürburgring
We've been hooked since 2004. It is a highlight of the year every year and in 2006 we were again with our classic Vespa & Lambretta scooters at the Nürburgring to take part in the Cologne circuit.
With the routine, the excitement disappears and you become a little more relaxed, which is also noticeable to the full at the evening events Scooter Center Team box. Somebody had Vodka - effervescent included. I wonder how the British drivers managed to be so fit in the morning ... it was another great event!
5th Cologne course - May 1st, 2005
The Motorsport Club Porz celebrated its 50th anniversary last year and we were able to celebrate with our classic scooters - with a scooter race on the Nürburgring. All participants were enthusiastic, we too! So it goes without saying that we will be doing this again this year Scooter Center Team were at the start again.
It is a great feeling to be standing at the start with your scooter and driving where Niki Lauda, Michael Schumacher and Senna have already been on the track. And we don't need to tell you anything about the atmosphere and atmosphere with many international scooter riders and friends in the evening. Scooterists stop :-)!
