[Closed] vespa is ready to ride

Enjoy.

I was always a Lambretta man myself.

As were we

I too was a Lambretta man but nice scooter all the same.

My mum reckons she was probably the first girl in our city to ride her own Lambretta.. and the first to crash.. and probably the second, third fourth and fifth to crash too..

I had a Vespa 50 when I was sixteen - I loved it and have the spent the next twenty-something years thinking, "I have to get another one..."

You'll be gobsmacked of how little performance it has, unless you've just come from a cycle...

Who needs performance when you're on a scooter..?

I dunno, br. I've raced a few 50s before 🙂

Lambrettas are lovely to look at, but come on, they're about as reliable as a hand grenade with the pin out.
Silly money these days too.

Quite fancy one of those new LML200 four strokes, tbh.

Vespa LX125 owner here too (although it's not in the UK) Most excellent f u n.

I miss my Lambretta - Me and the misses went to Milan and back in 97 on her
Enjoy your Vespa - owned a P2 in that colour once 😉

Here's a picture of my old Lamby

good on you, enjoy, they are fun.

Me and my mates used to have an old scooter to mess about with. On the grassy school field I could sprint fast enough to catch it up. It wasn't in tip-top shape mind. Especially after I found out that if ridden directly at the bank flat out you could get a very alarming amount of air but remain perfectly balanced and land squarely on both wheels, although somewhat harshly. The springs didn't stand a chance. Nor did the exhaust.

Love it, I've had 3 in total and dont tell the misses but I want another one.

I once went into my local biker pub (the spread eagle), at 17 years of age, wearing my fishtail parker for a bet ( I am a rather large gentleman and probably mistakenly fancied my chances anyway), however I was treated rather well and and had good fine night.

That would be pretty reliable then?

You know what I mean!

A S2 TS-1 streetracer would be lovely, but you couln't rely on the bloody thing could you?
Love this pic:
