Cutdown Lambretta project

[Dave Lobster]

Anyone after one?

I've got one I'm never going to get round to finishing.

It's a '59 Li frame, no hoop on it, back cut off for a centre shock. Comes with cutdown leggies, forks, drops (SX or GP), disc brake from Saigon Scooter Centre, master cylinder, both rims, pair of Conti twists, race seat, complete engine (Honda 205 kitted group four engine - six plate clutch, one off Reedspeed crank, 34mm carb, Li150 box, JL4, etc), rearsets.

I'm not going to split it.

Years ago they called them 'sticks' - remove all the body work and engine covers etc. Somewhere I have a book with some good examples in of racing 'sticks'.

Here's one I found on a google as a example. Sorry about the gay colour!

There is a 100mph club too!

Skidmark getting his knee down?

A proper black racing stick.

Love the graphics on the pink one!

[Dave Lobster]

Shouldn't these be in a separate thread??

[MisterD]

I'd bloody love it, but chances of expenditure approval are non-existent.

[Dave Lobster]

In a cutdown frame, I'd be surprised if it doesn't hit 100mph.

You should have it.. don't tell her 'til afterwards.

And it's an iron barrel, which means it isn't gay - like TS1s and their ilk.

It's also got petrol tanks with it. LD or D ones. I can't f*cking tell the difference. And a big beedslow one too in fibreglass.

There's heaps of Lambretta sh1t with it.

Looks more like the real Dave Lobster to me.

Is that a PM Tuning disc I see in there?

[Dave Lobster]

Goodness me no. I wouldn't give him the cheese of my dick. It's a saigon one.

The one on my road bike is excellent (it's the same).

[Sable]

Hahaha. Take a lump of shit, shave most of it off, spend thousands of dollars diamond encrusting said fecal metal matter, and at the end of the day it's still a really stupid looking, expensive worthless piece of refuse.

[MisterD]

Two pieces of advice to consider:

1) If you don't have anything good to say, best not to say anything at all.

2) It is better to say nothing, and risk appearing stupid, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

That from a guy with a "modified" GT250X7 which even when new were refuse.

I reckon you're project will be cool mate.

This is true

Similar to the Elephant Man pointing out the flaws in Heidi Klum's figure

So your response to some ones sarcastic remarks about a dubious scooter project is to slag their choice of bike??? I could find lots to say about 2 of your listed 3 bikes, but I will take Mister D's advice No. 1, and hope you will too in future. All the old 2 strokes are still very cool and good on the people that own and treasure them and keep them going in this age of P.C., emissions laws and carbon credits etc. Keep burning those credits boys.
