Other bikes

While it seems popular to do so, here's my other scooter.

Mine is the LI150 in the foreground just after I bought it last year. It's currently undergoing something of a upgrade.

More than two wheels is too many.

Thanks.

The rims are currently being painted white, no idea why the previous owner thought red was a good look.

I also bought an original GP disk brake which is being painted to match.

Next it's a Mugello 186 kit with the usual bits, then Euro Lambretta in the south of France in June.

AA membership would certainly be cheaper.
Having ridden to the med a few times I can't think why anyone would want to do that journey on a Lambretta.

It would be fun.

I used to drive to the South of France in one hit for family holidays. Would like to do it more slowly now. Spain via the eurotunnel via PCX, following the coast would be excellent

You don't like a challenge??

I'm fairly confident I'll arrive on time, whether I get there under my own steam remains to be seen. Once we'd decided we were going, the first thing I sorted was breakdown cover. Just in case, obviously.

Good for you. Post some pictures. If only to show what a proper scooter is like

It looks good from that angle. Like it is really solidly built

I certainly hope so. It's also very sleek and agile. I like it for the flat floorboard most. The highish central tunnel is my biggest gripe with PCX.
