Okay, the season 1996 is about to be over and we have some pictures of the Speed Breed run in Nürnberg around the mid of May in 1996. I (Aboriginal Vespa Rider) had just come back from studying in the U.S.A. a few days before and was totally ready to go. My scooter had been hidden away underneath a roof at Fixle's place. 
Biff and I planned to leave early in the morning on Friday to be
among the first riders to get to Nürnberg. So we started off, Biff
on his Lambretta/RD350 and me on my PX/T5 that had been sitting for a
year.We were going for about 30km, as the Polini on my bike suddenly decided to quit its service. Luckily it was smart enough to do that right in front of a gas station, where we parked and saw that the cylinder and piston were totally broken. So we called Jerk to get a cylinder and piston as quickly as possible.
It took a little while for Jerk to arrive, but once he came the Polini
was kicked onto my T5 quickly and we made the rest of the way without any
difficulties (except that Schniedler, who had arrived meanwhile, had
haunting problems with his fuel tank. It wouldn't fill up his carb fast
enough. So he had to go at 90kph even though he rides a Malossi with 34mm
carb and MBD reed valve - hahahaa).

While we were sitting there, Michl from the Pint Brothers drove by on his
Lambretta with a KTM 250 motor. I had only heard of the machine before
and was pretty surprised to see him ride it to the run. Michl had packed
his brother's cellular phone and commanded him to stay at home for the
time of his ride, in case the engine ceased or the frame broke.
Spachtel (left) and Pissi (right) were pretty hungry and found a worm on
the ground that they found would fit perfectly as their dinner. This
picture shows them all happy and glad to have found the nutrituous food.
But hunger was larger than the meal, so the two got into a fight over the
worm. Spachtel grabbed a stick and beat heavily onto Pissi, who landed in
the mud and got quite dirty.
