The Seeker 3,048 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 King Kurt stopped playing at a Isle of White scooter rally in the 's one year i went and moaned about people throwing full cans of beer at them ,the last number they nearly fecking died under the deluge .Had a vespa 150 super then redg'd as a 125,extended front fork (there is only one on a vespa )and cut down leg shields,bright yellow and blue and looked the dogs at the time but with age come reality and it wasn't so good to be honest ,but didn't break down like the lammie li 150 i swap it for.Now that was a pile of shite yep thats what lammys are like, look beautiful but shite reliability, I know one thing going on a run without a tool box on a lammy was like going without any money. The amount of times I broke down was incredible until I nearly had a spill doing 70 ish when the head blew and the back wheel locked up, not good. Re built the engine with a 186 megello kit new electrics and it's never broke down since. Then I had kids and it's spends more time in the garage then the lawn mower Mod for me all the way by the way although I loved ska and the rockabilly scene also... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rake aboot 4,929 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 That TV is a "ridgeback" one of the first 500 made then sent back to innocenti to have the frame strengthened,, very rare All the stick ons are original 60`s pieces as well.. that scoot is my pride and joy, came across from Denmark and was restored.still have all the original sales and import paperwork for it as well. The red and white is tuned shitless, 85mph, or 75 two up with all the camping gear. RB190 kit, and a LOT of other race parts, lovely Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fireman 10,774 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Lovely scooters lads and in another league to my old lammie which had a skelly frame and cut down rear end,all hamerite grey with "bung it in a rizla" written down the rear panels in the same written a rizla is written on the packets .Well untill they fell off and were driven over ,any sign of damp in the air and it broke down and can remember a few of us stuck on the A303 one rainy night trying to sleep in sleeping bags all with our crash hats on to keep the rain off our heads ,also i had to allways carry a spanner big enough for the rear hub nut as every 50 odd miles the back wheel would come loose due to it's former owner being a wheely fanatic with it.Like i say a proper old pile of shite but by god i still wish i had it these days. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
