Comments on: Lambretta Cut down – Almost Complete http://www.ipcress.net/blog/lambretta-cut-down-almost-complete/ It isn't usual to read a B-107 to its subject, but I'm going to set you straight. "Insubordinate. Insolent. A trickster. Perhaps with criminal tendencies".

I think you done well and more importantly showed people they can have a go! OK lets see...buy rare accessory from overseas Dealer A + engine tune from respected northern Dealer B (using all new products off the shelve) + tell every forum spec., gps, dyno, etc. = Show winning scootering featured "custom" scooter. Drive in van with said scooter to IOW, dress like Austin Powers for 2 days, complain about current delivery times of parts. Tell everyone on forums. Drive van home.
