I'm revolting! I have a Lambretta. Opinions required and questions - Page 3 - SV650.org

There is a scooter place, or at lest there was, in The Cut near Waterloo station.

There are also a couple of Lambrettas that i try to catch in the morning. One wheelies off the lights and looks pretty much std, aprat from some sort of filter hanging out under the body work. There is anotehr which is not so subtle, but that has 'yes its a 50' on the plate and that also goes like a scalded cat

Sounds odd to me too

Are you sure they weren't simply breaking down Ian?

100%. The 1st one, ok admitedly, it was only little ones but the wheel defintly coming off the gorund. The second, had the rear end cut away, both were definitly lambys.

Viney has not seen things, they will lift the front albeit not very high, the 225cc tuned ones will lift the front no problem.

Even mine would if you revved the nuts off it then dumped the clutch.

The defence rebuttal;

How cool is it that I can use the word "rebuttal" in this instance!

I would love an old, classic scoot.

Id love an olde skool skoot, have to be something pretty quick so's to leave the chav'ers behind in there 1.2 corsa 'cossies'.
local ped shop race tunes lambrettas and vespas and think they race them and flog some on, they've got some pretty nice examples of them down at psn scooters (or at least they did have).
whats anyones opinion on vespa's, not quite as cool as the lamby's but still up there

Move to strike your honour

The evidence submitted shows a SA dealer who lost a bet, not normal scooter riders engaging in normal scooter rider behaviour such as skin tight leather pants and attending pride parades...
