With the 2015 Classic Scooter Mille event to be held on Phillip Island Victoria, we at SS Scooter have got Team GS prepped and ready for this year’s gruelling 1000 + km journey up through Victoria’s Alpine passes to Mount Hotham. With rain and colder spring conditions on the for-caste, it’s gonna be an amazing and challenging 25 odd hours in the saddle passing through some of Australia’s most beautiful riding roads.
Quite Marks 1961 GS 150 engine was completely overhauled, with an up-gear kit installed and the barrel and piston more heavily ported, she was Dynoed at over double its original horsepower and a top speed of over 112km/hr. A SIP speedo was installed to keep track of his engine temp and of course speed. My GS160 mk2 had its clutch rebuilt after last year’s event and have had a few more creature comforts made, like a custom comfy seat, digi speedo and scrollable map….GPS and phones are not allowed as part of the event. And Scooter Fleur’s GS 160 MK1 with simply serviced and given a new rear Tyre!!!! Talk about reliable.
SS Scooter wish Team GS luck and see you and the rest of the competitors at the finish line.

Vespa PX 215cc
From a Bondi Beach Bather to PX Street Burner.
Living it’s entire life by Bondi Beach without wearing any protection, this PX was suffering from an extreme case of cancer. With a rusted through frame it was time for me
to overhaul and save this Bondi Beach Bather.
The first job was weld in a new floor to re- strengthen this Vespa’s monocoque chassis .
Once the new floor was painstakingly welded into position, it was time to bring to fruition the tuning and customising concepts the customer dreamed of; from an enormous rear wide tyre conversion, to the 215 cc cylinder which was given the SS treatment flowing through a the stainless expansion pipe hanging off to the left, right down to the subtle CNC calliper to help her stop, are to name a few.
With a luscious coat of gun metal grey, this Vespa has been reborn; and she won’t be lazily sitting around Bondi Beach anymore, as she will be leaving our shores to burn up the winding roads of New Zealand.

VESPA VN2T
Like most Australian imported Vespas and Lambrettas we find a huge discrepancy in our models compared to their Italian mothers.
This Vespa, with its frame number VN2T should be a Faro Basso model (low light or lamp down). In other words, the headlight is mounted on the mudguard, and should also have a 125cc powered cylinder.
But this barn find had neither, the headlight proudly sits atop the handlebars and the cylinder was still at its original 145.5cc bore.
She had either been modified in Australia by the dealer, or she arrived on our shores in her current guise.
I still like to think that the Italians, on a Friday afternoon, would get around to the Australasian export scooters and give them a touch of uniqueness (in other words, they would get rid of excess parts from different models and years and ship them off).
Either way, this bellissima is on her way to a very proud owner in Adelaide. He’ll be riding (not hiding) this uniquely Aussie Vespa, and it will join his vast Vespa and Lambretta collection.

Vespa SS90- Double
With two of the rarest and coolest Vespa’s made in the SS Scooter workshop, the opportunity to photograph them could not be missed. With Sandy’s unmolested and unrestored SS90, sitting next to Tony Dunham’s beautiful and meticulously restored SS90 made for a rare and beautiful sight on a steamy Sydney summers day.
