I think I could find room in my garage for one of these:





But sadly the owner knows where I live ...

All together now, "Burble burble burble ..."

That is one weird looking mother... A kind of '59 Cadillac scooter. Is that La Pobla I recognise?

did rather fancy a Heinkel Tourist in the 60's but had a Zundapp Bella which was a good alternative, then brought a Vincent Comet in bits for £10 and rebuilt it to use through university. More recent years scootering I had a BSA Sunbeam 250 and a Honda CN250.

Right both times, well about La Pobla anyway. The scoot is a Heinkel Tourist that was advertised in the US of A as the Cadillac of Scooters and in Britain as the Rolls Royce ...

But it's 'home' is in Tremp where there's a very tiny Classic Bike Club. I'm actually the king about adding something like a Ducati Strada to the stable and joining the other old geezers for Sunday rides - usually ending up in the Lambretto bar!



You see the veritable Lamby in it's grace just beyond the bar and a brilliant photo form the 'sixties down at the back - sadly they don't do chip butties, no idea how to live these foreigners don't ye know!

I'll take you there for a jar when you come to the HISS in May Dave ...
