Just saw this: http://scoot.net/classifieds/forsale.html?id=18340 Can't be many of these in North America. cheers

Rover Eric Moderator 1965 Vespa SS180, 1963 Lambretta LI150 Joined: UTC Posts: 6980 Location: Detroit, Michigan	UTC quote I think both of the above bikes actually have repro seats on them. The first one is a good quality handmade scootopia cover. The one below looks asian to me - it has that really boxy look that the original ones didn't have.

Rover Eric Moderator 1965 Vespa SS180, 1963 Lambretta LI150 Joined: UTC Posts: 6980 Location: Detroit, Michigan	UTC quote If i was going to trick out a lambretta, it wouldn't be a relatively rare one that i'd choose to modify. Some bikes are best left alone. It's like the whole "P200 in a GS/SS" analogy.

Rover Eric Moderator 1965 Vespa SS180, 1963 Lambretta LI150 Joined: UTC Posts: 6980 Location: Detroit, Michigan	UTC quote He's probably got more money in that front fork than most people's scooters are worth.
