Classic Scooters (Vespa, Lambretta)

By PocoLoco

I see that the new Vespas are becoming pretty popular in Qatar.

Doesn't anyone fancy the classics? Like me, there must be some old Mods (second edition) or Scooter Boys out there.

Got my 1964 Lambretta SX here already and just waiting on my 1965 Vespa to be delivered.

My dad who is in his late seventies had a Lambretta. He used to give me a ride before going to office. Once he burned my hand accidentally with the cigarette in his hand, while I got in..He stopped smoking soon after that incident..Thank you Lambretta for keeping my father alive to this age..You are powerful indeed.... :-)

many LAmbretta's before.  He used for newspaper delivery when I was still young. Transmsiion and clutch are both in left handle while the front wheel break is in the right handle.  A foot break is on the right side of the floor for the rear tire.It's really a classic now. I think he still have one or two.  I just don't know if it is till operational!

Very stylish scooter, liked it. I always loved scooters! In Vespa scooter museum I saw Vespa scooter at first, it made my mind to buy one. Its a very stylish and comfortable scooter and in my opinion Vespa’s are most impressive models to date. Kabirdass India

You got a very nice scooter. Do you know anyone who owns Lammy or an Old Vespa here in Doha? I miss ridding my scooters too...

Yes, it's 40Kph and an Ipod.

I think the Lambi will be going into hibernation soon. Out yesterday and it was like riding through superheated sandpaper. By the time I get back from leave after summer it'll be just right again. By that time the Vespa will be here too. Vespa/Lambretta, you know it makes sense.

I used to dream of owning an SX200 in yellow with a taxi stripe and of course an Ancilotti seat. I had a 175 stripped down for hill climbing. I can still taste the mud. I was never a big fan of Vespa's. Lambo's were streamlined and cool. Vespa's looked like a fat duck waddling along. Mind you I would have any these days.

Love the pics. Brings back happy memories.

When you're a child, you tolerate many things and life is an adventure. Its only when we grow older that we become cynical.
