Spring is finally nearing in Calgary. As the ground clears and the nights get warmer, my attention typically drifts to vintage Vespas and bikes that rattle and clatter and smoke, while my clothing takes on the all too-familiar scent of Motul 800 two-stroke oil.
I’ll try not to neglect you, internet, but the sweet mountain air calls.
Scuderia BENZINA
As the weather turns, I tend toward the workshop, squirreled away turning wrenches and smelling of two-stroke motor oil. This is a world I stumbled upon, years ago, that has become very much a part of me—despite the challenges of geography, parts availability, and prevailing attitude towards such means of transport in an oil town, such as this.
A very good friend of mine has decided to have a go at a shop, and I’m happily along for the ride. If you ride a classic Vespa or Lambretta, BENZINA is here for you, from the ground up.
I hope to be able to show you more, as our venture proceeds.
