Annual review of Stoffi’s Garage – SIP Scootershop Racing Team 2016

As in previous years the season always starts with the classic long range spring race (a 12-hour race) in Carinthia. Our team, consisting of Michael Pesendorfer, Markus Angleitner and Stoffi, entered the race with an unchanged long range scooter powered by a Quattrini engine with the intention of pulling off another victory against international competition. A defective spark plug resistor meant that we had to make several unplanned pit stops in the first few hours. After having detected and solved this serious problem, after three hours, Michi and I found ourselves in 8th place. The competitive level of this race is very high and despite every effort we were only able to catch up slowly. At lunchtime we were making headway on the top three before 2.30 pm, when it started raining. Changing over to rain tyres is a relatively quick job on our long range scooter, which meant we were able to catch up again quite easily. The rain eventually got so bad that the race was then stopped temporarily for half an hour. Once it got going again, we found ourselves unable to catch up with the superb Gerin from Börny’s racing team and at the end of an acceptable performance we secured 2nd place. 

For years, the first race of the ESC championship Mirecout has been taking place in France. Last year, Markus Angleitner from our team proved able to impress the lads from Parmakit and their tuner, Roberto Barone, so much that in the winter they offered us a factory engine. We needn’t make special mention of the fact that the engine was only ready just before the race – so we started the race in beautiful race feeling a little nervy. From the training on Friday it was clear that Markus is still one of the fastest drivers. Despite this he had to do a lot of tinkering to get the best out of his Vespa. The qualifying rounds on Saturday morning resulted in pole position for Markus but a disappointing 10th place for Stoffi (who also drove in the K2 class with our long range scooter). They were joined by a colourful field of drivers from France, Germany, Italy and Austria. Under the best conditions, for the first time, the races lasted 15 minutes + two laps, which posed an additional challenge for the tyres. In the first race, Markus got off to the perfect start and was able to take the lead straight away. After a couple of fast laps, he had managed to pull ahead from the field, and was able to defend his lead well over the course of the long race. His strongest competitors suffered from technical problems, with Rapf Christian from Undi’s racing team having to pull out with a defective crankshaft and Robert Leibfahrt only being able to start in the second race with a replacement engine. Unfortunately, Stoffi got off to a bad start, proving unable to hold onto his poor starting position thanks to his faulty gears that didn’t improve; he found himself racing at some distance behind the leaders. His final position, 6th place, was the best he could have hoped for. In the second race Markus once again proved able to achieve a start/finish victory, and things also improved for Stoffi, who joined a group fighting it out for 3rd place before he skidded off the road on a right hand curve.

The next event was held at the carting circuit in Liedolsheim. This time Michi, who didn't make it to France for health reasons, joined the team. Unfortunately, the former K5 champion wasn't able to repeat his great performance during training in the race. After making a very good start, he found himself hemmed in on the first curve before coming off his scooter spectacularly with a group of other drivers. Despite this mishap he managed to make it to 8th place and follow up on this good performance with 3rd place in the second race. Markus dominated the K2 race -  despite the racing track being wet, he won the first race with a great performance. In the second race he fought it out with Christian Rapf from Undi’s racing team for the lead. On the second to last lap, Christian overtook and secured the victory. Stoffi took 4th place in the wet Class 2 race. In the second dry race he only made 8th place. 

Unfortunately, the race in the Czech city of Cheb clashed with the Eurolambretta weekend in Germany. This meant that a few regular drivers didn't make it to the event. As has been the trend recently, the starting line up gets smaller every year. The two drivers from Greece, who had driven 23 hours to make it to the event, also failed to reverse the trend. There isn't so much to report from the event. Michi took 2nd place twice in the K5. Stoffi pulled off a win in K5, but also dropped out with a ruptured fuel feed hose. Markus took a 1st place and a 2nd place in the K2. 

At the end of the first three weekends, with five wins and one 2nd place, it looked as though Markus would be cruising to an easy victory in the K2 championship. But all of a sudden, things changed. At the Panoniaring, he never seemed to find his groove, and with two 4th places, this was his worst ever performance. This time, things were different for Stoffi though, starting in class 5 after Cheb, he pulled off one of the best ever races in this class in Hungary. Both races saw a battle of the best between Mike Betz, Achim Wolf and Stoffi. Separated by some hundredths of a second, Stoffi ended up securing a 2nd and 3rd place, although after a good start, Michi didn't manage to keep up after a skidding off course spectacularly at the end of the first lap.

Things went along similar lines to Hungary at the Harzring at the start of September, Markus wasn't quite able to keep up with the leaders, and came in 3rd in the first race. The second race was overshadowed by a bad crash by Mario Woldrich from Undi’s racing team, who suffered a brake failure at the end of the start/finish straight on the fastest section of the course and drove straight into the tyre stacks. The race was then interrupted, before a very happy Markus eventually finished in 2nd place. Mario injured his back in his crash, but we’re happy to report that he is back on his feet again now. Stoffi was suffering such serious back ache that he couldn’t even manage to start the racing moped and put in a lacklustre training performance. Strengthened with adrenaline, however, he came in at 2nd place in the first race and won the second race, only to be disqualified again in the Parc Ferme due to insufficient pinch point. 

Before the season’s final at the Popmosa Raceway in Italy, the championship seemed almost certain to go to Christian Rapf. All he needed was one 3rd place in either of the two races. And this time around, Markus wasn't even competing due to the birth of his baby daughter. Luck deserted him however, and as in France, Christian’s engine was misbehaving badly once again. A rapidly constructed replacement engine failed to improve matters, and for the second time, Markus was crowned champion of the K2 premium class. Things proved to be perfect for Stoffi in the K5, with two wins making up for his tough disqualification at the Harzring. In the first race, Michi held onto 2nd place for a long time but unfortunately managed to ditch his moped at the end of the race. In the 2nd race, after fighting his way forwards, he suffered a bad piston jam.

We look back on lots of great races as well as the championship win by Markus and Stoffi almost winning the championship. It is regrettable that the falling numbers of competitors mean that it will be very difficult for this really great racing series to survive. Here is the official website of the European Scooter Challenge.

Gathering of the Clans 9^th – 11^th September 2016 - Portrush, Northern Ireland  

It really hadn’t seemed like a year since we had last gathered in Portrush, Northern Ireland for our annual fund raising Gathering of the Clans scooter rally.  This year’s chosen charity was Pretty in Pink, a charity which supports those with breast cancer.

Friday afternoon saw many scooters arriving in Portrush with scooterists from as far away as Essex and Dorset (over 500 miles) making the journey.  The usual meet and greet happened in the local watering holes of Portush harbour until it was time to make tracks to our venue.

The Atlantic bar has hosted the Gathering of the Clans for a number of years now and is a terrific venue for live music and DJs alike. Friday night saw the venue filling up fast and people were soon enjoying music played by our DJs and also The Good Fridays, a young band from Portadown.  All too soon it was last orders at the bar and back to our B&Bs for some shut eye.

Saturday morning saw a great turnout for the ride-out which meandered along the stunning coast road to Ballintoy. Ballintoy is not only one of the most scenic villages on the North Coast of Ireland but has also featured in several Game of Thrones episodes. After a good look around the harbour and a quick cuppa it was back to Portrush where the all-day entertainment was in full swing.

The custom show for scooters was held directly outside the venue, whilst inside the Tombola and tee-shirt stalls were doing a brisk trade. 

Before long Saturday night was upon us and again we were facing a packed house with our DJs and another of Northern Ireland’s finest young bands ‘Touts’ entertaining the crowd.  Both floors in the venue were packed with everyone having a great time and really getting in the mood of our Pretty in Pink theme!

Another successful rally saw us lifting just over £2004 for Pretty in Pink.  This would not be possible without the help of our contributors. We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to SIP Scooters for their extremely generous donation and also for their continued support every year. In addition we would like to thank Bushmills Distillery, Spar (Portrush and Tandragee), Nisa Drinks, Mojo King in Cardiff, Davy’s Bikes, Thomas Tweedie, Darren McKissock, Mark Duke at Van Spares, Davy Cunningham at The Photoshop, Antrim and anyone else who donated items for our Tombola. A special thank you must go to Steven Ross and the staff of the Atlantic Bar as we couldn’t do it without them.                  

We also want to say a huge thank you to the sponsors of our trophies:

Best Vespa (sponsored by The Ulster Vespa Club): Trevor Mills (Rally 200)

Best Lambretta (sponsored by the Ulster Lambretta Club: Jillian Hedges (Li 150 Series 1)​​

Punters’ choice (sponsored by The Damsels in Distress SC): Jillian Hedges (Li 150 Series 1)

Furthest travelled (sponsored by Northern Coasters SC): Bob (Modrapheniacs SC, Dorset – 560 miles)​​​​​

Last, but by no means least, we want to say a huge thank you to each and every person who came to the rally and supported our cause. Whether you were there for a few hours or the entire weekend, and whether you drove for miles or live round the corner we appreciate your support and enjoy your company.

Hope to see you all in September 2017 (8^th – 10^th)

The Mods vs Rockers event is organized for the second time by the Vespa Club Saint-Petersburg. In the city by the Neva friends from all over Russia met and Leopold from the SIP team showed up as well. Often enough St. Petersburg is rainy, but the city greeted the participants on time with sunny weather. Some scooterists were even brave enough to swim in the Neva river...

The organizers have prepared an interesting and exciting cultural program and the guests enjoyed the beautiful views in Saint-Petersburg. They also admired the embankments and the center of the city and visited the buildings from the time of Peter the Great, the founder of the city.

The funniest and most interesting event was the meet & greetwhich was held by local SIP customer and Scooter workshop "Butcher Garage". In the end there was a concert of "The Millions" and "The Yellow Pillow" for the participants at the Dune Club, where the friends, in nice company and with delicious appetizers, spent the evening together.

The Intermot in Cologne 2016 has opened its doors on and we were there for you to find the hot news for scooter enthusiasts. The manufacturer VESPA had a large booth in Cologne and presented its model range for the year 2017. The good old VESPA PX is exhibited here one last time, unfortunately it has become a victim of the new Euro 4 standard and will be discontinued. Too bad that Vespa could not get through to a reworked engine, we really do not like to say goodbye to this scooter legend. But also in Pontedera the controllers and not the romantics reign and so the novelties all refer to the Modern Vespa models.

The VESPA GTS 300 comes in 2017 as a special model "Touring" with practical luggage carrier and windshield, but with a new Euro 4 standard engine which will unfortunately only deliver 21.5 hp (0.5 hp less than current Euro 3 models). The GTS 125 receives the new "i-Get" engine which is now also Euro 4-compliant and offers a start-stop system (RISS). The same engine will also be found in Primavera and Sprint models. Here, PIAGGIO has made tremendous development work and, in addition to many other optimizations, has bearing mounted every moving component in an effort to achieve a particularly quiet and low-resistant run. The air filter has been designed to be quieter and at the same time more transmittent, improved transmission tuning, water cooler integrated into the engine block for a shorter warm-up phase, new double-toothed V-belt for minimized friction loss and a new electronic engine control. This has a barometric sensor which guarantees an optimal combustion chamber filling in every driving situation and at every altitude. The new engine delivers 7.9 kW (11 hp) and develops a torque of 10.4 Nm at 6000 rpm. Vespa promises a range of 364km with 8 liters of tank content. We are very excited about a first test ride. The Primavera as well as the Sprint are equipped with ABS as standard as well as a USB connection in the luggage compartment of the leg shield. The new Vespa Primavera comes in four colors, Rosso Drago (red with beige seat), Nero Vulcano (black with red seat), Midnight blue (blue with beige seat) and Montebianco (white with red seat). The new Vespa Sprint also appears as a touring model with luggage carrier and wind shield. There is also a Sprint Sport in color Titanium gray with decor stickers and black rims. The new Vespa Primavera comes in the colors Rosso Dragon (red), Nero Lucido (black), Montebianco (white), Giallo Positano (yellow), and Blu Gaiola (blue) - all with black seat.

Wideframe Tuningerfreut sicher immer größerer Beliebtheit. Meist schlummern die alten Damen mit dem charismatsichen Rohrlenker als Sammlerstück in der Garage oder werden nur für eine kurze Ausfahrt genutzt. Zu gering ist das Vertrauen in die alten Motoren, besonders bei längern Ausfahrten. Zudem ist man mit 4PS Mottyporleistung für den heutigen Straßenverkehr auch etwas untermotorisiert.

Um Abhilfe zu schaffen ist in den letzten Jahren eine Kleine Szene mit findigen Tüftlern und Bastler rund um die „Faro Basso“ entstanden. An den originalen Zylinder wurden die Überströmer und Steuerzeiten optimiert, Kolben getauscht, verschiedenste Vergasertypen montiert und und und..

Das Ergebniss kann sich sehen lassen. Mit den passenden Komponenten erreichen die Motoren eine Leistung von 10-12PS. Und das reicht aus um im Straßenverkehr mitzuschwimmen oder einen Passgipfel zu erklimmen.

Mittlerweile haben viele Produkte Serienreife erreicht. Rennzylinder von PINASCO aus Aluminium mit 160ccm, verstärkte Kurbelwellen von TAMENI & SERIE Pro by Stoffi, Vergaserkits auf Basis der POLINI CP Modelle by Bollag Motors, Rennauspuffanlagen von SIP Performance elektronische 12V Zündungen, Getriebezahnräder, Kupplungen und Fahrwerksteile eröffnen einen ganz neuen Horizont am Tuninghimmel.

Mit den folgenden Komponenten machst du aus jeder Faro Basso einen Daily Rider ohne dabei den Charme des 50er Jahre Modelles zu verlieren.

Den Einstieg biete eine Rennauspuffanlage. Plug & Play montiert liefert der Auspuff einen Leistungszuwachs auf original oder Tuningzylinder.

Der serienmäßige Vergaser, Luftfilter und Ansaugstuzten wird gegen ein POLINI CP Vergaserkits getauscht.

Wem dem Hubraum nicht reicht setzt auf die Aluminiumzylinder von PINASCO mit 166ccm. Mit einem Hub von 57mm und einer 60mm Bohrung ermöglicht dieses Kit einen Hubraum von 166ccm. 5 Überströmer versorgen den Zylinder zuverlässig mit Gemisch. Der neu berechnete Zylinderkopf liefert die passende Verdichtung.

   

Um die Mehrleistung auf die Strasse zu bringen kann das Primärzahnrad oder ein 4-Gang Getriebe von PINASCO verbaut werden.

  

Die originale Zündung wird gegen eine kontaktlose 12V Zündung ausgetauscht. Nie wieder Zündungsproblem durch defekte Unterbrecher oder Kondensatoren.

Beim Thema Tuning das Fahrwerk nicht vergessen. Hochwertige SIP PERFORMANCEStoßdämpfer und schlauchlose 8 Zoll Felgen liefern das optimale Fahrwerk.

Folgende Pressemeldung erreichte uns heute aus dem wunderbaren Österreich: Heute Sonntag den 05.03.2017 fand am Betriebsgelände Ziegelwerk Ratzinger ein Weltrekordversuch von dem Vespa Stuntathlet Günter SCHACHERMAYR aus Steyr statt. Nach 2 Jährigem Training und Vorbereitungszeit startete Günter SCHACHERMAYR den Weltrekordversuch 5 Glasscheiben auf seiner Vespa zu durchschlagen: Mission Break Glass 5

Die Anspannung war nicht nur beim Protagonisten SCHACHERMAYR groß, sondern auch den Besuchern ins Gesicht geschrieben. Dann ging es los! Die Vespa wurde “angekickt“ begleitet von der italienischen Hymne und Rauchgranaten fuhr Günter SCHACHERMAYR von einer Beschleunigungs-Rampe abwärts um Fahrt aufzunehmen. Die VESPA hatte immer mehr und mehr Geschwindigkeit aufgebaut und näherte sich mittig auf die 5 Glasscheiben zu mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 54km/h. Plötzlich verriss Günter knapp vor dem Aufprall der Glasscheiben seine VESPA, aus noch ungeklärten Gründen. Günter fuhr danach zur Seite und nahm den Sturzhelm ab. Er hatte sich von Sicherheit Experten seine Schutzbekleidung (Nack press) noch einmal nachkontrollieren lassen, nachdem diese nicht mehr optimal in Position war.

Jetzt aber wollte der VESPA Stuntman und Familienvater es noch einmal wissen. Er fuhr auf seiner VESPA zurück zum Start, fuhr den Beschleunigungs Tunnel noch einmal entlang und es machte einen riesigen Knall. Wumpssss! Günter SCHACHERMAYR hatte alle Glasscheiben „auf einen Streich“ durchschlagen. Die Glasscheiben flogen 40 Meter weit durch die Luft! Es war ein komplettes Glasscheiben Inferno, ein Anblick der allen Zusehern den Atem raubte. Günter und seine VESPA schossen weit über die Sicherheitsabgrenzung hinaus der zum Schutz der Zuseher diente. Der Stuntfahrer drehte um und fuhr zurück zum Crash Point und stellte den Motor seiner VESPA ab. Günter nahm den Sturzhelm herunter riss die Hände in die Höhe und schrie lautstark "YES, we can!"  Geschafft!

Ein Video der denkwürdigen Veranstaltung findet sich bei YouTube:

The following press-release has just reached the office inbox from wonderful Austria: Today, the 5^th of March, 2017, saw our daring Vespa stuntman from Steyr – Günter SCHACHERMAYR attempt to set yet another world record on the factory premises of the Ratzinger tile producers. After two long years of thorough training and preparation Günter was at last ready for his attempt to ride through five sheets of glass simultaneously on his trusty Vespa! MISSION BRAKE GLASS!

The suspense felt by all present could be read from their expressions and not only those of the team directly involved in the event. Then, at last, they got started! The Vespa was kicked into life, accompanied by a rendition of the Italian national anthem and the letting-off of a few smoke grenades and Günter SCHACHERMAYR accelerated down the starting ramp to reach his optimal speed. The Vespa was on target with 54 km/h on the speedo when suddenly Günter broke off the launch and veered to the side, so then stop and remove his helmet. To everyone's relief Günter only required of his safety expert, who duly checked and adjusted his safety equipment as his neck-brace had become loose.

Finally the time seemed right for the Vespa stunt rider and family man. He repositioned his Vespa on the starting ramp and once again accelerated down through the special sprinting tunnel towards the glass obstacle and WHAAAMM!! A huge smash and he was through in one piece! Günter SCHACHERMAYR had successfully ridden through five sheets of glass in one go! The remains of the carefully positioned glass had flown up to forty metres from the scene of the collision! He had created an inferno of shattered glass, a display that stole the breath of the anxious spectators. Günter and his Vespa ran out beyond the visitors safety perimeter, turning around to return to the crash point and kill the motor. He then removed his helmet, threw both hands in the air to triumphantly scream with obvious relief : “YES WE CAN!!”. Another world record for the collection!

Das österreichische Motorroller Magazin SCOOTERZINE hat in der Ausgabe 1/2017 einen ausführlichen Auspuffanlagen Test durchgeführt. Getestet wurden 11 Sportauspuffanlagen in Original Optik, durchgeführt wurde der Test von Alexander Wahner von Wahner Motorsport, Rennsportbegeisterter Zweiradmechanikermeister und Maschinenbauingenieur. Testsieger wurde unser SIP Road 2.0: "Fazit: Auch wenn der Polini mit sauberer Kurve und Bestmarke bei der Spitzenleistung punktet, kann er auf Grund des fehlenden Drehmomentes seinen Konkurrenten von SIP und BMG in diesem Einsatz nicht das Wasser reichen. Der BMG TOURING ist beim Drehmoment noch vorne dabei, kann in höheren Drehzahlen aber nicht nachlegen. Unser Testsieger ist darum in diesem Vergleich der SIP Road in Sportausführung, da er bis 5.000 U/min klar die Nase in Sachen Drehmoment vorne hat und auch danach nochmal Leistung und Drehzahl drauf packt."

Der Bericht kann als PDF hier geladen werden. Hier geht es zu unseren SIP Road Auspuffanlagen in den verschiedensten Ausführungen.

Ausgewählte SIP Dealer wurden zum SIP Scootershop Händlertag 2017 geladen. Wir wollten wissen wie unsere Händler ticken, neueste Produkte, unsere neue Logistik und natürlich den SIP Flagship Store mit der Siperia präsentieren. 70 Besucher bildeten den kleinen aber feinen Kreis - und dass unsere Kunden nicht nur Business können sondern auch feiern haben sie bis 2 Uhr morgens eindrucksvoll bewiesen... 

An 7 Markeninseln zeigten wir die aktuellsten Produkte unserer wichtigsten Brands: SIP, MALOSSI, DELLORTO, PINASCO, PREMIUM, POLINI und RMS.

SIP goes Scarborough Scooter Meeting April 2017

Britische Scooter-Rallyes und die Lambretta, das ist eine wahre Liebesbeziehung. Aber in letzter Zeit scheint es, dass das etwas alternde Publikum bei den britischen Rallyes, organisiert mit ruhiger Professionalität durch das vfm, eine ernstzunehmende Affäre mit Modern Vespas und Scomadi hat. Das Team von SIP Scootershop hatte das Vergnügen eine wachsende Zahl von SIP Eigenproduktionen für alle Arten von Rollerfahrern, Vintage, Lambretta und Modern Vespa, in Scarborough zu präsentieren. Hier wurde die jährliche National Rallye Serie am Osterferienwochenende gestartet. Wir verteilten Unmengen von Goodies, Katalogen und Geschenkgutscheincodes und durften erfahren was britische Gastfreundschaft bedeutet. Unser SIP Sprinter fühlte sich auch spürbar agiler an als wir nach Deutschland zurückkehrten. Wir bringen gute Erinnerungen an interessante Gespräche mit netten Rollerfahrern von der Insel mit nach Hause. Wir sehen uns bald wieder Großbritannien!

PS. Danke an Daz und das vfm team, an Jordan, Lydia, Jake und Liam vom Young Guns SC, wie gewohnt an Andy und Sticky, an Stan vom Scootering Magazine und nicht zuletzt an den guten Roger und seine Seitenwagen Hexagon - du bist der Hammer!

SIP goes Scarborough Scooter Meeting April 2017

British scooter rallies and the Lambretta, that's one heck of a love affair. But lately, it seems that the somewhat ageing audience at the national scooter rallies, organized with calm professionalism by the vfm, has a new fling going with Modern Vespa (MV) and Scomadi. The team of SIP Scootershop was more than happy to present a growing number of parts for both kinds of riders, vintage Lambretta and Modern Vespa, at Scarborough where the annual national rally series kicked off on the Easter holidays weekend. After one day of handing out tons of free goodies, catalogues and gift voucher codes, our veteran SIP van was seemingly much more agile as we headed back to Germany. We bring back good memories of conversations with nice scooterists and a yearning for more trips to a great scootering nation. See you in a bit United Kingdom!

PS: Thanks to Daz and the vfm team for having us at the event, to Jordan, Lydia, Jake and Liam from the Young Guns SC for giving us great confidence in the future of the scootering scene over there, as always to Andy and Sticky for sharing their longstanding experience with us, to Stan from Scootering magazine and, last but not least, to Roger and his sidecar Hexagon for showing us the true spirit of scooter rallies.
