There is such a thing as the 'spirit of the scooter'. It belongs in European films of the sixties. Nobody has looked so cool since then. There was a naivety, an uber-cool in the air. The 'spirit of the scooter' can still be seen on the streets of Rome, Paris and London. If you squint you can see Jean-Paul, or Paul-Jean, or Jean-Paul-Jean, with a Gauloise hanging out of his mouth, and nothing on his head but shades. The 'spirit of the scooer' ... Read More
