Unfortunately "old" Puch is dead... But here in Austria there is no problem getting your hands on one - used and cheap. Postmen used them for decades...

Bop, you could have both with a Triumph scooter:  http://www.britishscooters.com/gallery/triumph-tigress/

Heinkel Bop..

My German cousin.

I don't know ive never looked a scooter and thought wow. I think its the idea of being sat with your legs together

I hope that was all that was ingrained into you.

When I was younger, I saw a few Heinkel Tourist scooters. They appear larger and plumper than Italian machines. Still have some fans here.

I've got a book about German scooter makers, amazing how many brands once existed. All gone and forgotten by now. There must have been scooter manufacturers in other countries, like the UK, too.

My mother had a NSU Lambretta in the 50s. It was licensed from Innocenti to NSU for the German market.

Yeah, know that. I never will understand why on earth they took a Vespa. A motorbike would be much better in the field?

^Except for the fact you can run lots of bikes and scoots on a provisional. I almost wiped out a kid with L plates on a modern scooter on Friday. He was so close to going under my wheels that I saw his eyes bulging out of his skidlid. Silly boy...
