In the UK and most of Europe it was part of a Youthculture thing, as teenagers a lot of us were scooterboys in the 1980’s (not mods) and we rode up and down the country to attend rallies, often 100’s of miles, to get drunk with our friends from around the UK.
Now we’ve grown up we do eactly the...
An original paint 1960 Lambretta Li150 Series 2 found in a barn in Sicily.
I’ve stripped and rebuilt the engine, added some go-faster parts all with the assistance of a good mate who’s very nifty in that department.
Just needs a UK registration and the carb jetting and it’s all ready to roll.

May I ask what on earth the point of this thread is and is it possible to take the obsessive borderline nutjob BK bashing elsewhere?
Frankly it’s bananas and a firm indicator how completely dumbed down and tit’s up this forum has gone.
Before you ask I’ve never owned a BK and never will and...
