5 classic scooters parked on grass with 4 of the owners stood behind their steeds.
The highs and lows of #ClassicScooter riding: a nice Sunday ride to the #AutoItalia Italian vehicle show and an impromptu stop in at a winery on the way back. Most pleasant. But a lack of fuel gauge meant I didn't quite make it home, dammit! #Lambretta #Vespa #RiddenNotHidden #MotoSky #ScooterSky
Two classic Lambretta scooters in a service station forecourt. The blue SMH white one in the foreground has just been ridden through torrential rain. There's a red and cream one on the back of a ute (gotta have breakdown backup!).
Nice weather for submarines 😉 #HolbrookNSW #MotoSky #ScooterSky #Lambretta #RiddenNotHidden
Two red Lambretta scooters parked in the shade of a tree.
Test ride successful; fuel starvation issues solved. And such a beautiful day for a test ride, too. The countryside around Wee Jasper is so lush and green at the moment #Lambretta #RiddenNotHidden #scooter #MotoSky #ScooterSky
A Piaggio Liberty scooter in the morning golden hour.
Front quarter angle of the scooter in the previous photograph. Featuring a short black Givi screen.
Rigged for warm weather. Lap skirt, hand muffs, and barn door screen into storage!!

I'm not good in a large group of women, however this relay is a great thing. Lack of access to well-fitting safety gear is a real problem for female riders #MotoSky #ScooterSky www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...
A Piaggio Liberty scooter sits at the edge of the road by a small bridge. There is a sign to the right that indicates the weight limits of the bridge. Below the bridge is a winding mountain stream. A small brown outbuilding sits to the left. It has been partially destroyed by the floodwaters of Hurricane Helene.
A gray Saturday on mixed roads, including gravel. Beautiful. Restorative. Just ride.

Cream and red Lambretta scooter. Side panel has been removed to show the toolbox, carbie and fuel tank. An express post package is propped up in from of the carbie. It contains more jets for the carbie.
Close-up of a spark plug, being held in a black-gloved hand (it was hot!). The tip of the jet is light grey, showing the engine was running hot, probably due to a lean fuel-air mixture..
The joys of old-fashioned technology. Change your carbie / exhaust -> re-do your jetting. Luckily we have a great scooter dealer, who always has the bits you need. #LambrettaObsessions #scootersky #motosky #Lambretta
On the subject of scooters, I think this might be called a Rat Scooter. 🙂 #motosky #motorcycle #bikesky #bikersky #motorbike #scootersky #scooter
Fixing the Scooter part 2. I have the part now. #motosky #motorcycle #bikesky #bikersky #motorbike #scootersky #scooter
Me, in a burgundy motorbike jacket, stood next to a red and cream Lambretta scooter. In the foreground is a white and yellow Vespa scooter.
Fool's spring in the 'berra. Time for a test ride to check carbie jetting. #lambretta #riddennotridden #Canberra #CBR #scootersky #Motosky

They love their scooters out in Italy. #motosky #motorcycle #bikesky #bikersky #scootersky #motorbike #scooter #italy #abruzzo
"Barrys, I'm lost", I said, though I knew they weren't listening Tank's empty, I'm aching and we all know why Counting the trucks on the New England Highway We've all come to ride 'cross Australia Kathy I said as we boarded a Vespa to Mudgee, Sydney seems like a dream to me now, it took my four days to push it from the last stop, we’ve all gone to look for a spare front tyre
Currently road trippin' 2-wheels style. Had to do a boring stretch up the New England Highway. Couldn't remember many complete songs' lyrics (won't have music playing in my helmet), so made up my own. Posted them in a scooter event group + got an excellent 2nd verse in response! #motosky #scootersky
Four classic scooters (3 Lambrettas and 1 Vespa) in a carpark.
Haven't taken the scoots out (or Trumpies, for that matter) for ages due to the weather. Local scooter shop monthly run provided the perfect opportunity 🛵 #Motorini #Lambretta #Vespa #scooters #scootersky #motosky
I will buy an electric scooter within the next month from this date. #escooter #scootersky
That's all for now, but there's still the 1966 Lambretta Series 3, which I've chosen to keep a Resto-Rat..goes real fast, no worries about where I park it; the Winter Stella, a 2004 Genuine (LML) Stella, and the 1976 Sprint V.
They all have their own stories. #ScooterSky is just getting started.
I think we need to refer to you as the "Vespa Doctor" from now on 🤣 #ScooterSky
I guess I'm starting #ScooterSky, then!
It's also great Alt-Text Writing practice.
