how fast are you all talking about riding on these highways? because my stock p200 wouldn't go over 60, period. and that's balls out. so you'd get your ass run over quick on I-5 where people are rolling 75+. I can hang on the GTS and it isn't struggling. I don't do freeways on the PX except for short stints like we did up at ROM. That was no traffic and it worked OKish.

Believe it or not, back in the day (80s) we used to ride up to LA from OC to go clubbing and if we drafted behind a semi I swear we hit 65. I wake up every day not understanding why I survived that time period

I wake up every day not understanding why I survived that time period ON Klub on Sunset. I used to ride there from Highland Park, no fwy. Maybe 10(?) scoots pull up. "Where are you guys from?" "Orange County!" "How the 'ell?" "We rode up the 5." That time is a total fog now, but I don't remember seeing a helmet on any scooter rider then

Back in the day it was always a helmetless wide open run on the 10 and 57 to Scooterville from the IE. Girlfriend and I went down once for a rally to Fenders, left from there to the Santa Monica Civic to see GBH, then WOT from SM back. Speed limit was only 55 then so manageable, and the freeway wasn't a piecework of ever failing concrete like now.

I'd call them all DOTD as He's selling them individually for about this price. I tipped someone off locally about a lot but he didn't bite. his dad worked as a mechanic for years and bought closeouts, has a bunch of motorcycles he's selling. he wants to keep the lambretta, but whenever i tell him what it needs to get running (ie a tank) he tells me i have too much money. |

Not really a DOD, but it is tempting. Really waiting for a 4 speed 125 smallie.

Great color and OG paint. Has bat door and title too!!!
Very close to DOD pricing. Here's my math on that... would cost ~500 to 750 to get gears, Jug and bobs to freshen up and make a 4-speed. So you are at about 2250 for a bad ass 135cc smallie? All day. Every Day.

yeah that paint and condition make it worth the scratch, even with the drawbacks on the engine parts side. plus, the engine can go 125 and you can keep the 3 speed if you want to cheap out. grab some primaries and make it work!
