Month: July 2002

Reader James Ballot writes “Okay, so maybe we’re being a bit cynical about this, especially since proceeds go to a good cause. But if ya asks me, I think the bloke what pulls up on one of these deserves to be stomped by Rockers.” Which reminds me, I never mentioned anything about John Entwistle on 2SB, as you surely know, he died in Las Vegas on June 27th and the Who are currently on tour without him. Maybe it’s just me, but I’d hold out for the Lennon/Harrison/Entwistle/Moon show, that would be something.

Drew Deering sent this link to an ESPN.com story about University of Hawaii football coach June Jones banning his football team from riding “mopeds.” Fine, see if I play for Hawaii this year.

It’s becoming clear that the “Stella” is an upgraded, rebadged LML Star. It’s fun to poke around this site and see how many nutty vehicles are made in India. Not only can you get knockoffs of Vespa T5s, PKs, and Cosas, but also 1992-technology Ford Escorts. And where else could you find a diesel-powered Royal Enfield?

Supergome came across this page on Garner’s Classic Scooters’ site. I’m no scooter expert, but that looks like a PX150disc with a “Stella” logo photoshopped on it. If that’s really an Italian-market PX150, he’s going to have to beat off potential buyers with a stick. If it’s anything else, we’ll see what happens. I’ll try to find out more, such as if “SHIPPING AVAILABLEOeONLY $2,695.00” means shipping costs $2,695.00.
