The new Lambretta, and why I'm not posting so much (here) anymore…

Ln125z
Mostly because I've been bitten by the Lambretta bug, for the second time in my life. For most people, this is an ailment that they get out of their systems in their teens, but for a significant minority, the reinfection can occur at anytime, although it usually strikes in the late 30s or early 40s. 
Anyway, I'm posting a lot of stuff over at my Lambretta blog – including the ongoing saga of the new Lambretta LN, a scooter which as I write this, has a uncertain future. The owners of the Lambretta brand name have decided it is a copyright infringement, and not a proper, licensed Lambretta scooter after all. All the controversy, along with a ton of images, a pdf brochure and video are over at the other blog, so if you're at all interested in the rebirth of a style icon, and the difficult delivery it is having (I'll stop the pregnancy analogies now) pop over and see. 
In the meantime, Crocodile Jock blog isn't dead, I'm just being a little more discerning about what I post. So if you like it, thank you, stay tuned.
