In the seaside town of Brighton, twin brothers Danny and Mikey are known for their love of Lambrettas, their passion for dancing to Ska and Northern Soul, and their shady insurance fraud scheme. They crash heavily insured scooters, which they claim are wrecks, and then burn them for profit. But when one of their accidents goes terribly wrong, they find themselves in a world of trouble. It all starts with a skirmish on the dance-floor at a Northern Soul event. The brothers start a fight, which leads to someone firebombing their scooter shop. Inside the shop were the rotten old frames of many Lambrettas that needed restoring, each valued at GBP5,000 despite being worth only GBP100. It soon becomes clear that the firebombing was an insurance fraud, and Danny is the prime suspect. This novella was written by artist, dancer and scooterist Anthony Padgett - with the help of Artificial Intelligence, the cover was designed with A.I.
