First ride and first time out this year!


So the weather was about 18degC and Lambretta project is finished, so put the two together = riding time :o)

Did a few KLMS, lost the rear view mirror but everything else was just fine (after a little fine tuning on the carb!!)

If any one is looking to by a perfectly restored Lambi just drop me a e-mail and we can work something out!
