its looking great Jukie, are you doing this all yourself?

yes i am danno with a few calls to sydney to guide me in the right direction, except the paint work got that professional done

you really do have it all don't you Jukie. Looks, talent, personality AND like getting your hands dirty.

Watch out Betty, you better hang onto to her real tight

have some more pics soon

Its all about balance.

She's got it all (looks, talent, personality and dirty hands) ... and I've got nothing (short, fat, ugly and balding; no talent and NO personality) ... but I've got clean hands.

no no no betty your my sexy little pocket rocket

sounds like the perfect match! [bow_down]

See what I have married into:

This, apparently, is what Christmas is all about ... giving is all about helping out your sister/daughter with her little project (obviously getting a bit tight in the garage though).

now thats a real shed, full of porn too  [thumbsup]

Cant see the nitrous bottle or its fittings ??  ;D

We were talking about that yesterday  ;D

Mentioned it to Master Lambretta Mechanic (Jukie's bruva) and he started talking about some hydraulic(?) gear selector. I think we will have to settle for the super-sized carb and exhaust for now  :)

Some serious progress has been made over the last few days, hopefully it won't be too long now (still waiting on some parts though) ... the idiosyncrasies and consistency [roll] of mid-60s Italian manufacture have been chewing up a lot of time

so Jukie, have you been for a spin yet?

looks like its ready to carve up the old road

not yet doing some fine tuning at the moment

Hey Jukie you will have to let us know when the first ride is so we can come watch....  [moto]

I'll bring the video and stills cameras to capture the moment...  [thumbsup]

Awesome job by the way...... [beer]

cool. be interested in how it goes..

done anything engine wise or is it stock?
I assume that's a custom exhaust...


+1  [thumbsup]

yep will do. still waiting on a few little parts, that should come next week. [thumbsup]

well the exhuast is a bit custom, new and larger carb, got rid of the airbox ., that is about it. 

Gee she looks a treat Jukie.
Can't wait to see her on the road.
Will do some special photos with bike and owner when I get back.

more porn please jukie keep the photos coming  [thumbsup]

i think that about it Bazz, pretty much finished. the next photo will be of  a cloud of blue two stoke

ma che bellissima moto!  :o

Well done Jukie!   [thumbsup]

grazie Ivan

a lambretta rebuild is porn bazz?????
i guess so but it would definitely be a fetish of some sort.

paul.

Looks fantastic, can't wait to hear all of the details.

Lov you in the overalls, I sure Matty will be about to work in a few calandar type photos for special friends ;D ;D

yeh right i don't think i class as calender material

so whats wrong with that ive allways had a fetish for things on two legs and two wheels [laugh]

just a few more bling bits

the splash plate
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3484/3182996929_e3f3bdd166.jpg?v=0)

What is called the Sundance Grips

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3324/3182996827_57797a3ed6.jpg?v=0)

and see if you can work out what this is all about

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3100/3182996245_d183fbf406.jpg?v=0)

Hmmmm that first photo looks like a whoopee cushion for a pillyun !! ;D

Houston, we have ignition.....  [bow_down]

T minus 10 seconds and counting to lift off.......  [moto]

Bloody well done Jukie.... Can't wait to see the baby in the flesh....

YES YES and Double YES

(http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_33.gif)



and she sounds a bit different than i first thought for a 2 stroke, must be the sport exhaust and the bigger Carb.

Dont forget if it aint a self oiler to get the oil/fuel mixture right with the zorst and carb changes.  [thumbsup]

Hate to see all that good work in a big sieze. :(

already sorted that stuff out no probs, My dear Bro is keeping me in check, already got my scooter tools sorted for my tools box.

So there has been no progress since the acco ... but I did shoot a little bit of video with my stills camera. With a bit of help from Trev we can now share it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4dcJfOjT9Y (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4dcJfOjT9Y)

That's great she looks tops baby.  [thumbsup]
Love the little Fiat 500 in the garage too, why do you have a VW Jetta though, shouldn't be an Alfa 156/159.

thanks for noticing my babe (fiat) and the Jetta. Why the Jetta, main reason boot space for the scubadiving equiptment when we go on diving trips

Betty stalls an auto.... priceless!

While its "not a ducati" it certainly is loud enough though the blue smoke is a bit of a turnoff.

Jukie she's a lovely addition to your collection. [bacon]

Auto!  Its not an auto!

She was struggling to get under way with my fat arse onboard though. And as Julie's brother pointed out 'its not a Ducati, its not a tractor' ... or as I am used to hearing from the Boss 'you've gotta give it some revs'.

Good space for several bodies, was going to buy a Jetta but went for the Golf instead.

well i haven't found any dead bodies yet. A good choice with the golf. Plus the Jetta is a Turbo model of course with a sequential box.

Yep we got TDI with the DSG box.

very good Matty now that my boy  [thumbsup]

so Jukie, I thought the Lammie was a way cool addition to the collection, but then you go and post a picture of the garage with the Bambino in it! One of my favourite cars....

I remember when I was 10 and visiting the relos in Italy when a 500 driving down the road burst into flames! Was one of the most awesome sights I'd seen as a kid....mother(driver) and daughter, bolted out of that car at a million miles an hour...I was amazed that this little car in the middle of the street was going up in flames and still moving...  :o

hope yours fairs better !  [thumbsup]

way, way cool collection going on in your garage !

 

Yeh it sounds a bit like the   ;D

yes my little baby bambino, i have had her for over 10 years now as still goes like a champ. i usually drive her to sydney when i can on the express way (F3), she get a few smiles, and she also has to deal with the truckies  but they are normal good to her.  yes she is a rebuilt to of course, new paint  nternally and externally as you can imagine and, new front panel and a bit of cleaning, spare tyre and all good. She cost me about $800 to buy not registered and other $100 to get towed to home and off she goes.  She is my little baby. [thumbsup]

   

a bit like what VINCENZO

a mini desmo  ;D

your a very cheeky boy to get away with that, you will keep, i will sneak up on you when your not watching and....

And  ??? ???

i will come from behind and...

YES YES YES

Lillie the Lammie is now officially a fully registered scooter

from this

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3182/2977773508_4ab7cd7613_m.jpg)

to this

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3255/3162732994_60f2bbbe50_m.jpg)

and i guess it is now time to thank everyone that was involved in this project

Thanks Dad and Bro for the help in getting parts and the many of hours working on her for me.

Thanks to Mark for letting me do this, and for letting me have bits and pieces of lillie in the studyroom, familyroom, garage. etc.

It have been a very good learn curve for me, and will make me  be able to sort out problems it need on my own.

Thanks AGAIN. [thumbsup] [moto] :D 

Top stuff.
When will we have the chance to see her to say hello and welcome.

soon i hope, should be back up at my place at Easter time to have her plate put on her

top effort julie, she's a credit to you. [thumbsup]

paul.

as paul said well done jukie and family one top looking lammie  [thumbsup]

Allllrighty then.

Scoot arrived back home on Thursday, plate on, etc, etc.

.... and I just got back from its first run on the road ....  8) [moto]

Only did about 10km just on dusk and it was quite fun - though as you would expect a bit different. Didn't have any trouble pulling my fat bum up the hills (and I am talking decent hills), certainly pulls better than the Bambino on the same hilly bits.

Alby (Jukie's Bro) suggested when we were procuring bits that the trick exhaust might limit low down torque, but when she is up to speed  ;D. Can't say it felt that different to any other scoot I had ridden off the line (but it has been a while) .... however once she was moving and up in the rev range, she didn't really want to slow down  ;D
.... even caught the traffic going up the hill  [evil]

Comparisons to the Monsters (in stock form at least) that some of you might recognise:
. vibrations make the mirror absolutely useless
. seat is far from comfy ... very firm ... and did I mention the vibrations (should be good to keep the cellulite in check :-X)
. very soft in the front end ... a couple of springs off a pogo stick and a 10 inch wheel is a great combo ... oh yeah and your hands aren't spared from the vibrations

Overall its a pretty cool package  [thumbsup] thanks and well done to Jukie's Dad  [clap], Alby  [bow_down] and of course Julie  :-*

[beer] to a smooth running and trouble free future

i haven't been able to have a ride as i have been doing too much of this [drink] [beer] [wine] for the last 2 days

well here is the official ride for me and Lillie.


her is me and my Bro heading out on Easter Sunday

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3316/3443992696_9571dd326f_m.jpg)

off i go

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3658/3443176701_3a3e16aeb4_m.jpg)

and yes mine goes faster then his. First back home

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3608/3443176859_20afdc8b46_m.jpg)

and here he is, my older bro following behind to keep a check on me.

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3577/3443176787_2aa0d9f5c0_m.jpg)

I love it, seeming as I'm bike hunting......

what you want a scooter as well  [roll], well if your interested   [moto] [thumbsup]

I've wanted a scooter for about a year.
Still want one.

Cool scooter Jukie!   [moto]
love the color scheme  [clap]

so what type do you want a Vespa or a Lambretta, new or old ???

the colour scheme is meant to be navy blue and yellow, the colour of our A league soccor team up here

Maybe an old Vespa but I'm sure they aren't cheap to do up.
It's just gotta be cool.  8)

arrhhh so my bro's bike you like then, they are easy to get bits and not as dear as you think my Matty

SWEET AS!!  [thumbsup]  [moto]

I'd definitely belt around on pne of them!! (Have to be Italian too   ;D )

Really cool Jukie and Bro. Nice. [clap]  [bow_down]

I like the shopping rack on the front of his.
Maybe I'll be shopping for a Vespa for the coming summer then.

yes but the lammie have a lockable massive glove box to put you valuebles in.
let me know if i can help

Front & back racks on Al's scoot. The front apparently is very important for the Vespa as the front end is VERY light with the engine all the way at the back - the rack helps to keep the front wheel on the ground under ... um ... power.


... and also to let everbody else now who was grinding hard bits on her first trip out  [evil] [roll]

so it's like a 911 then. Engine out back driver/rider in the middle and no weight out front.

Jukie aren't you a little overdressed for a scooter.  I would have thought short skirt, shoestring tank top and thongs were the approriate apparel for the ride.  (Yes I am joking).

yes i know heather but i dont think i own a skirt thing. i do look a bit out of place, but i always like to wear my safety gear. and yes i know you are joking it all good.  ;D [thumbsup]

There ya go Heather....   I fixed up your wording!!!   [evil] [laugh]

Ita

well Ita i was wearing a red thong actually have you got x-ray vision  8)

Nah I lost my Superhero status and hence my x-ray vision years ago..... :'(

I just go home from nightshift and Heather's post tickled my (nightshift) fancy  [cheeky]

Ita

ooooohhhh so Heather tickles your fancy hehehehe [evil]

gee, guess I made a good impression at breakfast then  [roll] [cheeky]

looks like it Heather keep up the good work  [thumbsup] [evil]

Ooooh eeerrr THONG !!  [evil]

i got lots of them with all different colours, so dragon what your favourite colour [evil]

yours  ;D  [evil]

i have black, red, pink, white, purple, black and red with a lace up at the back .

Onya!! I have to go to work in an hour and attempt to concentrate on what I'm doing.  [evil]

ooohhhh no dont leave me iam all alone and sick you can stay can't you Dragon

you are still poorly??  :'(

No improvement yet??  :-\

a little ,but went to work today and that has buggered me up a bit, i even spread my germ with my bro and he is off sick too.  :'( [puke]

Silly girl !! Rest and let your  [evil]  bod fight the lurgies off!!  [thumbsup]

i try on the weekend to rest, still have to work tomorrow

Just take it easy, dont want me mate to get badly crook !!  :(

your keeping me happy with a smile on my dial  :D :-*

Thats very good, have yourself a nice red wine, it'll help.  [wine]  ;D

it always does help alot hhmmmm   [evil]

Will help you sleep ??  :P

evenually. it normally get me, let say more excited first  [evil] then it takes a while before i get sleepy

Probably best not to have some red then, unless you have a way of releasing your excitement.  ;D  [evil]  [roll]

yes thats right dragon when you got the flew or a cold you should only drink wisky or spirits straight it will kill of all the bugs and you dont care at all while killing them  [evil]

maybe tonight i have a few drink so i will be all excited later on the forum

Shouldn't you be at work???

Ita
