Dirty Scooters - Lambretta Li 150 series 2 restore and 64 GL malossi 221

this blog is a record of my scooter projects. The Dirty Rocket is finished for now, and I am about to begin restoring a '58 Lambretta Li150 series 2. The Dirty rocket started out as an attempt to build my ideal scooter from a rusted bare heap for as little money as possible. (The frame is a '57 VNA) now a 64 GL frame.

gordon's alive


It works. today the inaugural ride to the servo for fuel went without too much trouble. (naturally it revealed a leak in the fuel tank lid ).
Gear changes are a bit iffy and the clutch, while engaging quite far out on the lever action, still grabs.
things to do...
-fix fuel tank lid
-attach bike speedo
-attach cht guage
-sort out mirror
-get chrome toggle for spotties (by the way the spotlight kit was great and came with all the wires, junctions and even chrome coil cable covers). The switch they came with is plastic and doesn't suit my look.

note - did 10km today an dall seems good. The motor is very responsive. Handling is a bit strange, but I assume that it is a matter of getting used to a new bike. The front brake is no good at all so I must decide whather to get a new PK drum, or go ahead and install a disc kit.
