    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.

    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!
