Nice MIG work.  Looks like you're headed in the right direction.  I'd run it as is, but that's me.

Yep!  This weekend.  I'm not much of a picture guy, but I'll try.

Our yearly ride is coming up on April 21 & 22.  More at www.oaklandscoot.com

Thanks,

...if you ever worked on a LD, you know...these rubber parts always end up giving me trouble...took an entire afternoon and ended up with terrible hand cramps.

 

Lots of rubber bits fit easier after they are boiled in water first.  Amazing how much more pliable they become.

'59 S1.  My hope is to get started doing something on it.  Current plan is possibly a Gori 200cc top end.  And by the end of winter, hopefully I won't need baby wipes either...

Sit on a couch and make vroom vroom noises.  About the same.  

Thanks to David Carmona for the pic.  3 of us on the way to the Alameda Italian Car and Motorcycle show yesterday.

I'd like to thank everyone.  The bike sold for $3500.

Hey Chris,

The guy you are talking about is not my friend.  My friend bought this bike (and a Jet 200 which may pop up here soon) from an old guy during an estate sale.  My buddy collects old stuff, and is very into the vintage clothing scene.

My friend has never touched these bikes other than bring them home to his garage, and there they sat.  Any fiddling with them would have happened before he got them years ago.  My friend is absolutely not a scammer, he's just trying to figure out what he has and asked for my help.

I've not seen the bike in person.  I appreciate everyone's feedback.

Horn cast and floor have been replaced.

it looks nice.

It may need engine seals and new tires after sitting that long  

Thanks.  I'm no Serveta guy, how can you tell the horn cast and floor have been replaced?

Frame number 150LI 322712.

Hi All,

A friend of mine in SF has a cream puff Serveta and we're trying to figure out a value so that he can sell.  He does not know much about Lambrettas, so he's asking my help.

This bike has 677 miles on the odo.  It has not run in about 8 years he says.  Been garaged forever.  What price do you all think?

I will get the frame number later today.

Thanks, Mike

Just make sure to cut the pipe "too long" first, and fit and shorten as needed.  

This bike was spotted in an impound yard in Wisconcin.  I guess you recovered it?

Good video here, some cool drone footage.  BTW, LALO is now a Facebook group.  That's pretty much how the word got out.  No more craigslist, etc.

An update.  We were going to cancel the Saturday ride because of lack of attendance and lots of road closures.  But some people spoke up and its still on.  The Saturday ride is our long ride of about 125 miles.  Expect some U turns and a little confusion due to so many washed out roads.

Thanks, Mike

Hey All,

Our SF East Bay club is hosting our yearly ride on April 21, 22, and 23.  You can find out more here:  http://www.oaklandscoot.com/

Thanks, Mike

The inside of the side panels will tell the whole story:  Were they banged out or is that bondo creating the shape of the special panel?

No such thing as a '65 SX 150...  I'm pretty sure '66 was the first year.  Why are there no sidepanel handle latches?  Looks like the sidepanels hook in GP style.

Burgundy with cream?  Here's a V3$p@ I did with similar colors.

Wow that's a lot of work. Tumbler?  Sand blasting?

A few of us from the First and Last Chance club in Oakland rode to the all Italian car and bike show in Alameda.  Its yearly event that supports the Special Olympics.  We support it every year.  From there we rode to Faction Brewing and watched the Blue Angels.  A great day.

Here are 4 of 6 Lambrettas our club showed up with.

You need to append ".mp4" to that video file, else it won't decode for me.  Nice work.

Beauty.

Blow up dolls?
