Any scooter fans?

[Ian Holdich]

Well I am, I have always been into the Vespas and lambrettas. I have a px50 when I was 17 and run it into the ground, and sold it for £100! Something I wish I never did.
Anyways I (my wife) thinks I'm having a bit of a midlife crisis as I went out and bought one of the new lambretta ln125 last week.
Old school lammy fans probably won't like them as like most stuff, it's sourced out to the Far East to be put together, as Italy's economy is shocking. The parts are built in Italy. I love it though, it's a real nice and comfortable ride.
Here's some pics

What car did you get?

They are a nice trouser!

Only joking about the stereotypical red sports car midlife crisis essential, and I'm too fat for hipster jeans!
I can't afford a midlife crisis! Lol I'm looking forward to the time I can blame buying a nice car on a midlife crisis!.....although that will probably be nearer retirement!

Thats cool Ian, can see the appeal, you just need the matching split screen camper to pull it around

I already think it lookd nice mate. Pretty jealous. Theres a big club near me and a bike shop that sells them here where they all conregate. must be about 30 plus of them when they set off.
Im just not a fan of the ones that have about a million mirrors on the front

My favourite sort of scooter

I like Lambrettas, would ever buy a scooter of any style description or age, but the classics are beautiful.

I was almost the owner of a moped from kawasaki but I found out it was stolen all the way from Florida, and brought all the way to California, My mother being the protective mother she was when I was 15 called the cops to make sure the bike was clean because a few thousand dollar bike being sold for 400$ seemed really suspcious, Found out it was stolen and almost had the neihbor thrown in jail xD.... ahhh... Anyways YES!!! Yes I am a big fan and yo got a beauty!!!
