Apologies if I have already posted this but I can't for the life of me work out where.......so here we go again....possibly!
I'm a regular contributor to this forum & have benefitted from the wealth of info issued by its members......so thanks to you all.
My passion is Italian scooters (thats half the viewers gone then) but I have also owned many bikes (ZXR, GSXR, GSF etc) as I have a need for something scooters can't always give....speed!
I will say at this point the current scooter speed record stands at 119 mph, but thats another story!
When I was younger I read an article in an old scooter mag where a nutter had fitted a Yam RD 350 engine into a Lambretta & I thought "ooh, that'll do the job"
So here I am 45 next b'day & I finally have one!
I bought it as a 'road legal' (ahem) vehicle two years ago & have since lavished many an hour on it to improve & mould to my requirements.
For all those who like pictures & waffle please take a look at my build here:

*****YOU MAY HAVE TO REFRESH THE PAGE*****
I will add I like shiny paint as much as the next bloke but until I stop tinkering 'satin black' will have to do!
Please continue to help me when requested & rest assured I will keep dipping into the forum & assisting where I can.
And to pre-empt one question, i've done 87.4 mph max on it to date & it feels as stable as a horse!
