Thanks to Sam Manicom for the suggestion, I contacted my local radio station - BBC Coventry and Warks - about my forthcoming Twin Town Courier trip.

I'm scheduled for a noon interview with scooter fan Vic (Victoria) Minett on 29th of April. You will be able to listen via the internet to her show on this link: BBC Cov & Warks.

This Vespa 50 Special has a billet engine and a cylinder derived from Aprilia Grand Prix technology. It weighs about as much as a sparrow and kicks out over 40hp. Very suddenly. 

This is a bucking bronco of a scooter whose only intention is to dispose of its rider and to head for the stars like a space shuttle.

Bananas!

The nutcases at BSG love their billet engine cases. I've just ridden their latest smallframe weapon and it's a new definition of the term 'touring' I hadn't previously come across.
