I've owned several Lambrettas. We used to congregate at seaside towns in England, thousands of us, back in the early 80's. Still love Lammys to this day.
I consider myself the New generation of Mod, and I want one, and have since I was sixteen, a decade ago. To own a Hairdryer like this, in City Blue, would be a bloody dream come true. I'd go all over in it if I could.
What a great scooter. Had the same many years ago. Still miss it to this day. Now ride Vespas and motorbikes. Thanks for sharing the story and this fabulous Lambretta.
mate, throw a casa lambretta 185 kit on top, 24 mm carb and 42mm clubman pipe, 17 gear upfront and 81 link chain ALL STOCK LOOKING and you will not be saying clunky thru the gears much longer!!! all plug and play gear mate!!! cheers to a beautiful bike!!!
A racing driver reduced to a Lambretta, that sure must have been a culture shock. But for these old 2-wheelers what mostly matters is vintage and how original / modification-free they are. Don't let the sharks get to it down there.
You can see comes from bike racing by the two fingers over the brake lever at all times. As someone who rides scooters he might want to start covering the clutch lever as well in case it heat seizes lol.
Nice ride! Keep it standard ffs - enough of them have been vandalised over the years as it is... I don't understand how your rear wheel nut can come undone if the locking ring and grub screw assembly is put together properly. Get that looked at mate! Enjoy!
Or the wrong cone. As I recall there were 3 or more cone angles over the years. The “wedge” between the cone and the hub is the principal means of transferring the torque from the layshaft. If that becomes loose the splines won’t last long. The splines are just there to keep the layshaft from turning while you hold the hub to torque the nut - they’re not meant to transfer the drive torque.
Shorts, short sleeves and no gloves. You will make the perfect road crayon when you go down.. Your hands will automatically go out to catch yourself and you will have no hands left. Trust me I have seen it firsthand.

All that and only get another 10mph
@@sparker931 The best extra 10mph you've ever had though.
@@monkeyspanner8172 may only be 10 mph but its the diffence between getting in the way of traffic and being able to keep up with it😉
Love my lambretta use it in the uk and have done France, Spain and Italy.
I have the 63 125!, I love em.
This is CRAZY. Gianni tuned my CRE engine
I have exactly the same Lambretta, same colours, and a 1963.
Nice!
Nice story, just to note you are missing an alloy surround on the badge under the rear seat. Keep riding. 😃
Keep it classic. Bellissimo.

It'll be because of the cone inside maybe the wrong way round or not there.

fit the right cone for the hub. Make sure the split is on a spline not between. Tighten to 120lbf. Use the locking ring. Sorted.
Back in the day the Lambretta was like the Cadillac of scooters and Vespas were the Chevys.
Cool mate
No full face or protective leathers or air bags. That's dangerous.😄
Fantastic scooter
It's an interesting bike!
I've got a 1962 li150 series 3. What crash helmet is that ?
Shorts, short sleeves and no gloves. You will make the perfect road crayon when you go down.. Your hands will automatically go out to catch yourself and you will have no hands left. Trust me I have seen it firsthand.
Blah blah blah it's more fun when it's warm riding in a shirt! Dudes a racer I'm sure he knows how it feels to go down
Lambretta model Li3 Gold...most known...lain Li2..Li1, Special...Gold..SX200 silver....
