Hi eggs just seen your old post, I too am a Vespa owner ( I have had a Vespa/lambretta in some form since I bought my first li series 3 (runner) for £15 when I was 13 (1981) I've had this small frame in the shed for yrs, it's a 50 special frame with a primavera engine with Taffspeed 135 conversion and lammy forks. Keep meaning to get rid of horrible Led Zep paint job..... One day : )

When I was a bikers of 17 or 18 on my Royal Enfield 700twin the two best scooters were I think a Lambretta SX 200 or a Vespa Gs 190 ?

Also although I was a biker / rocker /greaser I had no problem with scoots and they are a part of my past that makes me feel warm inside ....

Got the vespa at the weekend .......I have just been told by a mate that he thinks that the law on riding scooters over 50cc as changed. He thinks i may have to do the CBT before i can ride it:thumbdown:......Is this correct?....I passed my car driving licence in the late 1980's and thought this gave me an entitlement to ride a scooter upto 125cc (with "L" plates)[/Quote

 

hello eggs i think you might need a cbt test but it will be worth it for a bit of sunday afternoon freedom

 

i was in okehampton today and a couple the same age as me rode through on a white vespa and stopped in the high st and got a coffee they looked happy i think it could have been the scooter i hope :thumbup1:

Scooters are the business mate. I can't think of a cooler way of getting about the village/town.

 

 

Your right Shavey, CBT for anything over 50cc. Joke!

Load of my sisters mates all bikers and 10 yrs older than me used to cop the piss all the time but later near all admitted they'd started out on old lambrettas and still have fondness for em. I've had afew trials bikes as well including tribsa 250 which I had to get shot of when stopped by an enthusiastic motorcycle cop ( I'd registered it 125 ) lost licence for 6months
