sad middle-age wanker having a mid-life crisis. now that he's a bit olde and got cash, he thinks he can "buy cool". He pays some vietnamese sweatshop workers to do all the work FOR him.
In the comments he explains away a complete rear hub bearing and seal failure as if it were a minor piddly thing! That is a major fuck up!
That sort of thing shouldn't be happening to a complete "restoration". Unless they used shitty vietnamese aftermarket parts. (duh.)
hi mate, hit my mid life crisis & desperate to get a classic scoot - lot of scare stories about Vietnam restorers recently - can you let me know where you got yours?
Hi Yammy,yes, about 8000 so far,the only problem i had was a rear hub bearing failure due to a spring from the rear hub oil seal going in the bearing and chewing it up,other than that it still looks great,paintwork still nice,a few stonechips but i do use it all the time even in the winter,still get asked if its the one on youtube being uncrated
i am waiting for mine to be delivered from the same people,its on their web site at the moment (pearl and burgandy red)long time coming though,ordered it last september,im sure it will be worth the wait though.Just need a late summer to enjoy it!
hey mate, great to see the case unpacking, it was so cool,. I found myself getting pretty anxious watching the pinch bar getting thrown around lol. Anyway, can you post the detail of the site??? as I would LOVE to get one. Im a LI 150 and SX owner in a previous life.
well done dave,good on ya! loads of SHIT said about scooters and where they come from, more snobbery than a golf club,its all"ive got an original TV 175 this and ive got a SX 200 that" fuck that, just ride the fuckin thing
This paint job is a copy of my black & white Lambretta SX200 003. RS have now copied it a number of times - all ScootRS do is rip off UK dealers for ideas & reproduce using cheap unskilled labour & low grade metals. This paint job style is part of the 00 SERIES Custom scooter line & is also a dealer special for a UK shop, a UK shop that pays UK tax & has supported UK Scootering in many different ways for over 20 years.
so what, thats a laugh,scootRS ripping off UK dealers,of course THEY dont ever rip anyone off do they,If you want to pay a grand for a wreck that is part of a lorry load that a "dealer has bought for fuck all go ahead,no thanks, not for me, apart from that most UK dealers sell scootRS products. In conclusion, If you dont want one from scootRS dont buy one , simple, ta ra
All RS do is copy other people ideas, look at their disc brake, which is almost an exact copy of the one from Lambretta innovations, they copy paint jobs & plenty of other ideas & designs originating from the UK. Buying RS is the same as buying a fake Fred Perry shirt, or a Snidey pair of trainers.
Pull your head out of yer arse 00series! ScootRS came out with their disc brake years BEFORE Innovations did theirs! And if yer not blind the two kits are nothing alike anyway, the scootRS one looks like an original hub (and is excellent quality!) and the Innovations one is a little billet hub (also excellent!). Plus you don't own a paintjob, I've seen lots of shops do this same paintjob and others. Go and do something people can praise and stop whinging about competition!
Hi mate! Like the film, nice one! I was speaking to you at the Halfway house/stanford parkas ride out a few months ago.I live on C.I too,Ive got the blue PX. Just finished my LI (mint green) Look out for me!!!! Ps: fuck them wankers who cunt off scootRS, theyre pipes rule!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, how was southend and how is your scoot running? Did you have any probs registering it, I completed my first resto see my vids. Need another and may go for scootrs, you hear all this crap about the east, seems youve done ok.
hi,yes just go on their website and see what i have written,all the things i have sent them are on the website and unedited with no added bullshit,won best overall scooter at one of the rideouts this summer.went to rideout in kent today(biggin hill) two up,no problems never missed a beat. So pleased wiyh my scoot,had a massive result buying it from scootRS,would recommend them to anyone,if you need any info just contact me and i would be glad to help,Gary
Oh dear Gt this means that i must be uncool too as i have just ordered one myself! 1st of all GT...your opinion means jack shit to myself or anyone else in this land.2nd if we want to buy a restored scoot from abroad and save ourselves ££££ we will,so stick that up your pastry eating arse.3rd get a life stop picking faults with other peoples scoots,if you dont like what you see at the british rallies,f**king dont bother coming..easy.
Elitist are absolutley need in those days my friend! Looking at most of the scoots at the iow with full loaded far east crap is a total sad thing!! You are another fine example of how it shouldn´t be! supporting the asian working contition is nearly criminal! I´ve been there and its horrible! so much said to the brain power.
what you need to do MY FRIEND is get on your scooter(if you actually own one) and find a library and learn to spell,Who gives a fuck what you or anyone else in Austria thinks,Hardly the scooter capital of the world is it?Just another blinkered wanker with a narrow mind and his head up his own arse, hope your english is good enough to understand that,oh this is another english word.....BOLLOCKS!!!!
oh dear, i should have been ultra cool and paid upwards of a grand for some wreck and spend another 2 or 3 grand restoring it, its still an italian scooter, who gives a f**k where it came from, theres more elitist crap from so called scooterists than golf clubs,all scooters were originally imported anyway, mine just took the long way round and i am still preserving a piece of motoring history,you said the same thing twice as well, sorry you didnt have the brain power to say something else.
like the scooter!I am very tempted to order one for myself,lost my scoot in the floods!Was it easy to import/register and are you still pleased with your scoot?
hi, yes was easy importing it,scootRS arrange all the shipping for you, just pay when it gets here, can give you all the info that you need, had a few teething troubles but scootRS are a 1st class outfit, any problems with parts they sent them straight away, yes very happy with scoot, everyone raves over it, looks better in real life than the pics. You can see it going up the road, just search for "LAMBRETTA TEST DRIVE"
there is no part three yet,but you can see it running, just search for "lambretta test drive"and you can see it going up the road,scoot is running great, just off to Southend on it, scoot is a 150 LI Special 1966 D reg, whats not quite right about it?
well......now it's been a few years.
How's that CHEAP restored Lambretta working out for you now?

@misterobvious Agreed, Always best to restore one yourself and always buy an italian lambretta. Not a FAKE lambretta.
