Heres to your brother man. Anyone who doesn't have brothers has absolutely no clue how strong brothers love is. To lose that is....well...after how many years it's still bringing a 20 year British Marine to tears. I'm a U.S.A. force recon Marine scout sniper and I can tell you British Marines are hard as fuc&. Thanks for this episode man. Definitely one of your best.

I remember the SEAL's coming to Hamworthy for some SBS training, they marched on in seeing these scruffy chaps just lounging about and it took half a day to have them chaps visiting absolutely bursting at the seams and hating on the scruffy lot, they would leave different chaps wiser by a long yard.

In 1986 I was 16. My dad offered me his 1973 RD 350. I turned him down. I thought it was too old. He gave the bike to a so called friend. Who parted it out. It was a running fully functioning bike. All these years later. I am still kicking myself in the butt!!!!

The Yamaha 350 twin 2 stroke engines are so much fun. I had a blast riding the Banshee that my brother used to have. I also had a friend who put one of them in a golf cart which was a truly terrifying experience. Very cool scooter, thanks for sharing Jed!

Amazing build and heartfelt that its made in memory. Nice to see your story of this build .

Even the standard lambrettas go a bit of get up and go I could only imagine this little weapon 😂 most fun you'll have is on a small cc 2 stroke you ring the neck of it everywhere lol rip to his bro Jamie aswell

Great video and story Max. Like you guy's, I'm a bit of a sucker for anything 2 stroke, the sound of that sweet 350 is a soundtrack of my youth. Keep the variety in your content, it is what sets you guy's apart

How cool is that! Color and everything is just perfect. 🤟

Wicked show, enjoy watching all your antics with 2 strokes. Grew up knowing the Thompson bros, this is a lovely tribute for Jamie from Jed. Jamie,s crazy and infectious laugh could always be heard in the TALBOT Jamie,s local ;-)

I took my Primavera round Lydden Hill track a few times in the eighties, man I was awful and my poor little primmy got pretty beat up, bought it for £150 from a chap who spent fortunes getting it tuned up and built by Midland Scooter Centre and Taffspeed, first day I rode it went at it thinking "its only a 125"... flipped it over on my back the wheelie was so powerful turned turtle on me and I could wheelie in all gears and rarely used first cos of the turtling lol

I had a GP150 that I wish I still had. This thing is awesome. Good for him for commemorating his brother with such an awesome ride.

This Lambretta is fantastic! I love the details, really well built. Truly a beautiful tribute. Greetings from Italy 🖖

Visually its absolutely beautiful and the engineering is amazing what a machine . I love the old scooters and hopefully one day I can afford one to enjoy

What a great story and such a great build ;). Having owned an RD 350 in the 80s I'm sure trying to keep that little front wheel down on the tarmac will not be easy when the lights turn green ;)

Nothing like a 2stroke twin, reminded me of the fun I had on my RG250 Suzuki back in the day. Mighty nice build this scooter.

A Brother's love !!! ❤ not a doubt in my heart whenever this gentleman is riding this bike his brother is with him

thats so awesome , love it

What a nice bit of kit and a tribute to your bro you can’t beat the sound of a 350 LC when the power valve opens and then the ploom of blue smoke I had a 350 ypvs and spent most of the time on the back wheel how do you keep it down when the reeds open keep on biking mate

That’s just totally awesome😮

Sweet & Dandy M8! I strictly convert my Vintage Lambrettas and Vespas to Electric. I like the 419 nm of torque and 0-100 kph in 2.2 seconds and the top speed of 165 kph silent but violent! Nicely done bruv scoot on!

Now that's a true tribute to his brother. Love the build and the ypvs was the right choice in reality. Low down control 👍

Quite a few Vespa conversions around with supersports in-line 600cc fours. Usually located in the footwell as in this one: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qZ-K1qWxm7OqndI.html

My stock RD350 seized which wasn't a bad thing. Overbore, jetted carbs, Basani expansion chambers. This bike came up violently in 1st and smoothly in 2nd with no pulling. I did the work myself apart from the $12 per hole bore, pretty easy and super fun.

I've seen many of these conversions at scooter events, always wanted one. One day.

That looks a blast! I like small bikes with big engines. I’ve built 3 to date. Street sleepers.

This is piece of art 🔥
