OH dear!, that brings back unhappy memories, as a rider in the early 70 I dreaded stuff that stopped working, not just scooters EVERY bike I ever owned lol, some I think I pushed further than I ever drove. Great video, takes us right back thank you

I used to run out of petrol so often on mine, that I became quite adept at moving the fuel tap to reserve with my heel. Your little beauty seems to go pretty fast, keep enjoying it!

Thanks Leanne! Good idea on learning to 'heel' the fuel tap. I'll try that. Safer than leaning over and making the scoot wobble around! Cheers

Thanks for the video! Can't wait to get my series 3 on the road when I'm finished restoring it!

Hi Greg, the Lambretta was about 1960 workers' motocycle, in Italy, and the Vespa students' motocycle..there was a..war but Lambretta always wins because more speed than Vespa,on the contrary more chic...Congratulations for your Lambretta!

domenico giannattasio na, Vespa is nicer and more reliable. Plus under seat storage.

I used to love doing these rides on my SX150 but now I have a constant fear of idiots on the road that spoils it for me, maybe it's just me getting old but as much as I want to I can't do this anymore.

going down the hill, just pop it into 4th and flip the throttle now and then, 4th can also be used as an in gear 'neutral'

Recorri mi pais Colombia en lambert y toda via la tengo,Jamas Sadler de Ella.felices recuerdos.

Why would you want a big modern bike on big busy roads ,this is brilliant it's enjoyable to watch bet it's brilliant to ride ,excellent

I am watching this right after I finished my own ride on my Scoot. Beautiful countryside; which part of England is this?

Condiments of the season!

Hi, awesome bike, could you please explain me a little bit how you use the choker on that thing? It's crucial te get mine working. Thanks!

There's not much to say, you turn the choke on before you start it, then turn it off after a couple of minutes when its warming up :)

Thought the throttle cable had snapped for a moment there.

A very nice cruise, one of the best!! Could you please tell me how did you get the camera fixed? I'd like to do some images in this position, riding my LI 150.

lovely old scoot, is those roads just after high wycombe towards aylesbury?

Cheers! Yes, they're the roads Dave.

You know brother, the best thing in lambretta is the right hand front brake lever. This design has not been repeated in any other vehicle. The position of the front brake lever is so scientifically and ergonomically placed that the rider can never accelerate and brake at the same time and the front leaning is anticipated in that position resulting in smooth and effortless and safe front braking.

Could they make the roads any narrower? Yikes

Are these actual roads ? The look like a driveway here in the States

Great video, thanks for the journey! :) Where in the world are you? Looks beautiful!

+taiwarrior1 Thanks Tai, This was filmed near High Wycome in southern England.

two strokes enjoy being thrashed. it's how they work..in the higher Rev range..IE power band what you keep hearing people talk about..dropping out of the power band is when revs drop so low you open throttle and nothing..plus if your engine is bog standard you might want to upgrade for todays driving conditions..25 mph up a hill might have been ok in 1960 but not today. youl get a car driving over the top of you..just takes a car driver to speak to his passenger. turn to talk to kids in the back or tune a radio in and crunch hes on top of your rear wheel..four stroke engines labour more comfortably.

Do you known how fast the engine can rev? I've searched on Google but can't find an answer for some reason.
