Vintage Lambretta rider and ex-Mod Bernard Judge was named mayor of Oldham, England this week. Judge, who is also a huge Motown and soul music fan says, “Music has the power to change things,” and is already being called “The Musical Mayor.” An old photo of Judge in his mod days adorns an album by L.A. band The Jamie Lamb Quartet.

Les Nessman Scooter Crash
Chad comes through for us again: Les Nessman’s scooter crash from WKRP in Cincinnati. They don’t show the crash (that would have been expensive to shoot), but Les vividly describes it. I think another episode shows him riding over one of Cincinnati’s many bridges on a Vespa, maybe that will turn up someday.
Another, less interesting, Sopranos post.
Sopranos star James Gandolfini was hit by a cab Wednesday morning while riding his Vespa on Hudson Street in New York City. He was uninjured, and, fortunately, no one got a photo of his underpants.
Meadow Soprano Vespa Porn
WARNING: NOT SAFE FOR WORK OR KIDS: 2strokebuzz hearts porn, but we rarely post it here. We’ll make an exception to share this photo of Meadow Soprano’s panties riding up her crotch as she climbs onto a Vespa in a mod microdress. No idea where it came from, but I bet the comments will be interesting on this one.
Shouldn’t Morpheus ride a Morphous?
Shunning the scooter sorta named after his Matrix character, Larry Fishburne posed on a Vespa (or as Reuters will tell you, a Lambretta) at a Mission Impossible 2 premiere photo shoot in Rome. You know a movie’s gonna clean up at the box office when they premiere it in Rome. (via The Scooter Snoop)
Legolas warning!
Riding in London? Keep an eye out for Orlando Bloom.
Do’s and Dunst
Kirsten Dunst doesn’t seem to have the same two-wheeler aptitude as Reese. Thanks Professor Matthew. (Anyone out there looking to hire a professor?)
Reese Witherspoon Rides the Line
Hello Magazine (UK) reports:
The diminutive performer has been turning heads in the British capital as she shows off her riding skills on a black Vespa. The mum-of-two is more accustomed to the back seat of a limousine than the saddle of a scooter, but she has become a biker chick for the film Penelope, in which she plays a pizza delivery girl.
