Believe it or not, here we go with one of the coolest things ever to be built in the scooter scene.
To fully understand what is actually going on here, we will have to take a closer look at a
suspicious character called Biff.
For some reason, the comfortable and cool speed of a scooter had never been able to satisfy the needs
of this maniac scooter enthusiast.

Way before the club was founded, Biff had already been fooling around
with engines and had one of the fastest P200s in our area around 1988 (back then, a Polini cylinder
with carb and some shitty Italian exahaust plus weird freaky magic holes he put into the engine case
were sufficient to ride at the top of any scooter gathering).
But in 1989, he thought that the basic design of a Vespa engine case just couldn't fit his needs.
So he went one leap ahead and fitted one of the two RD350 cylinders onto his P200.
Meanwhile, this engine design runs to his satisfaction and something happened that would change his next
scooter's looks dramatically. We bought the scootering calender for 1994. It pictured a lambretta that
had two exhaust running out in the back.
Weeks of reflection passed.

This is Biff's first approach to what should turn out to be one of the fastest scooters in the universe. |
 |
You can see Spachtel trying the seat to see how comfortable the scoot will be. Take a closer look at
the heck and you will notice that it had to be stretched to fit the giant two-cylinder engine.
Of course Spachtel isn't showing his face 'cause he's so jealous. Spachtel's GP200 won't run and Biff
while launches this dangerous project.

Here you can see the first resluts of Biff's work. One interesting fact about this puzzling project is
Biff's speed when working. It took him about three months to build this machine. But during this time Biff
had to work 10 hours a day for a living, continue his studies in computer science and pass two final exams.
At the same time he got rid of one girl friend and picked up a new one. Don't ask me how he does it, but rumors
are that magic little dwarfs have been spotted during dark moonlit nights around his block. |

Now those are two trumendous exhausts sticking out of that lambretta !
I do admit it looks a bit like a motorcycle, but Biff was more interested in advanced technology than
in classical looks. According to Biff, the machine didn't cost anymore than about 2500 German
Marks, which is about $1500. |
