Apparently the scooter racing scene is still going strong in the UK, not sure what they are transplanted with now but the RD motors were really popular a few years ago.
Crazy racing, too.

There is a scooter in this, briefly... Air cooled RD500 anyone? Car park video, but I'm still quite impressed.

I was a bit concerned that the Lambretta might be a bit slow off the line and I might miss out on the countdown specials, so I've moved onto the CR1000!
