The jps pics are 5 years old and the cutdown is much better now. spare fuel tank, disc brake and so on.
But still JPS. See If I can take some pics on wednesday as she is now........

Has a Lammy front mudguard ever worked on a Vespa? If it has, I've never seen it.

Shame, because that JPS would look so much better with a T5 or a hugger.

The Lambretta mudguard is what turns me off from the design.
It just bothers me that it stays stationary while the wheel turns.

Quite the contrary. The Vespa front mudguard has some very unsightly angles when parked with the column locked. It used to bother the shit out of me when I owned Vespas. The Lambretta looks good from all angles and is a superior design. Only rival design is the GS.

wrong wrong wrong.. don't get me wrong I think Lambrettas are beautiful, but when they're parked and the front wheel is turned and the long nose is just pointing straight and it's all empty like, that's lookin' like dooky! No Problem though! I already have it covered!!! When I park mine (when I get mine!) I'll just park it and make sure the wheel is pointed forward! Then all will be right! This IS the truth! Other than that.. they're sleek and beautiful machines.. 8)

*of course, this, just like pretty much Everything regarding looks is one opinion, as when it comes to looks it's ALL opinion..
** this opinion is pretty much fact!

Ha! That's ok at least we still share an affinity for small frames.

You know the Lambretta series two was made with a turning front fender at a certain point. It was hideous IMHO. Hideous! Neat as an oddity though.

The Spanish made series 2 had turning muddies for a long time. I think the straight ahead mudguard on most lammys is what makes them look like that are moving while sitting still though

Drop bars are an art and less is more.

A little drop goes a long way. Ive riden some extreme drops and they suck.

Second that.
Had pretty crazy drops on my Honda CB.
Looked really cool, but very uncomfortable.

yes, unfortunately... Some guy from Indy offered me a pretty penny for it, so I couldn't say no.... sometimes wish I had her back though!

I know the guy who has it now.
I think they changed the engine up a bit, not sure on the specs though.

Jim, I just spray painted it with some shitty paint I had sitting.

The only recent photo is this.
