Scooterotica

does anyone got some pictures of a skelly 70's skinhead style?

suedehead you're right.

taken from another site.... not my scooters though

1st pic....early 7ts skelly

2nd pic.....built a few years ago

at the time late 6ts early 7ts when the first skinheads/suedeheads were around it was just a thing that was done to SOME lambrettas by taking the legshields .sidepanels and mudgaurd off by a few people, i did it a few times, then put it all back on then off again when i wanted a change, the skinhead thing was just the era that it started in i suppose

nice scoots, nice backrests. thanks high plains

the last time i had my scooter ,skelly style was in 1974..........

........... i used to play my records at the local youth club...and used to take about 100 soul singles in a big plastic bag balanced on the floor struts untill the bag fell off riding home...
... and all the records ended up all over the road ... the legshields went back on soon after

i never mentioned it was UNIQUE to skinheads... i said that style of scooter really came about at the time the skinhead/suedehead fashion/cult started around the late 6ts early 7ts etc

this is definitely a hippy skelly

Is that John Lennon?
