Scoot Sao Paulo: Lambretta & Vespa Carnaval 2013

I sometimes forget what a worldwide phenomenon scootering, and Lambretta’s are. Many nations have taken the Lambretta to their hearts, and that is obvious in the many Lambretta clubs that have sprung up all over the world (check out my links page), and even in the visits I get here to the blog.

Here’s a vid from Sao Paulo, Brasil, that makes the point. Of course, they actually made Lammies in Brasil, including some models (like the Xispa I posted out before) that were unique to them. But I didn’t know they all went backwards!

Scooterist Factory Lambretta Restoration, in 10 minutes

Video

Spanish workshop Scooterist Factory show you how they do a full nut and bolt resto in a smidge over ten minutes. The music’s not bad either.

LD Hot Rod

Badass modified LD… Somehow somebody has managed to shoehorn a 450cc, race tuned Banshee lump into a Lambretta LD frame. And then ride it. On the road. In the rain. Hope the brakes have been uprated! Loving the twin pipes… and the noise it makes!

Thanks to my Twitter buddy and fellow Series 2 rider Stuart @stuartbumford for the heads up.

Amphibious Lambretta

I’d seen this video a while ago… but it’s worth a post if only for it’s “Mr Chummley-Warner” style narration!

Told you there’d be scooters. Amazing vid from one of the lucky few who rode around the Olympic Stadium on Sunday night.

Don’t know much about Dario Todisco who created this vid, but he’s done a nice job. If this is 25%, I can’t wait to see the other 75!
