Nothing in the way of a commentary just some marvellous vintage footage, (some of it I’ve never seen before) of the world’s finest motor scooter. It looks like it has been nicked from the…
[vimeo http://www.vimeo.com/62462590 w=520&h=390]I sometimes forget what a worldwide phenomenon scootering, and Lambretta’s are. Many nations have taken the Lambretta to their hearts, and that is obvious in the many Lambretta clubs that have sprung up…

Not sure of the story behind this vid… I suspect it’s a music video… and it’s tagged “indonesia” so I reckon that’s where it originates from. The mod/scooter scene looks pretty vibrant!

Anyway, if you know a bit about Lammies, it’s an interesing 26 minutes, and if you’ve stumbled across this website somehow without knowing about Mr Innocenti’s fine creations, it’s virtually essential viewing.
Unfortunately my Italian is limited to Ciao, espresso and tagliattelle, because I’s love to know what these guys are singing about. One thing that comes across is it is a musical tribute to the worlds finest motor scooter! Any Italian speakers want to send me a translation of the lyric?
