VESPA or LAMBRETTA

Some info needed ...... please .

Ive sold so many pork pies recently HAHAH that im gonna treat myself to a runaround scooter .... SCOOTER being the catch .Does anyne know if either Vespa or Lambretta cant be found in Udonthani or is it a trip to Bangkok and endure soi cowboy etc ? im not trying to regain my youth or get some more wear out my fish tail parker or owt those days are long gone just like them . The Lambretta Li 150 was my machine before but they are like rocking horse sh*it over here , i have seen numerous Vespas tho .

Any info is greatly aprecaited , thanx in advance.

Mash .... make an old man happy......btw i was an extra in Quadrophenia u know !!

Seppos would nt understand the whole idea of the mods , Lambretta , fish tail parker , Northern soul , rallies to the coast pissups n punchups and shaggin in fire exit doors , soul nights at the Porterhouse in Retford and the Baths Hall Scunny .........SIMPLY cos u Amerigays aint got any real history of yer own only the stuff what the kind hearted Brits let you beleive you had ............. i once watched a movie called the Wanderers or somfin what a load of bollox that was , a bunch of tossers running around in fancy dress looking like Ronald Mcdonald , thinking they ruled an area , its still going on now its called the Obama gang !!!!.

REAL history REAL sausage REAL ale ................... btw i played Sting n Toyah Wilcoxs lovechild in Quadrophenia , handsome little buggar i was too .

Mash ............ partime historian nd furlanthropissed

Saw an advert on a pick up truck in udon today for a classic scooter

Maybe this will suit you

And its named after a beer too!!

I think they are about 90,000 Baht

Thanks for that EG but its gotta be a Vespa or Lambretta , if i could choose have to be the Lambretta just for the memories it invokes , this Stella looks very similar but its not got that certain jernasayquar oreet .The Lambretta is longer slimmer , sleeker sounds and moves so much better BIT LIKE ME REALLY !!.

MASH ........... did you have a Harrington jacket ???

Scoots are very personal pieces of machinery. The memories and emotions evoked by a fine machine are components that can't be explained to the uninitiated. I hope you find what your looking for. Here's a photo of mine, wish I could bring it back to Thailand with me when I return in September.

Couldnt open the link to the photo USAV.

Ive googled the topic header (thailand) with a few sites/suppliers coming up 2 decent ones but every machine sold , i reckon its gonna be a classified mission or maybe an accident where i bump into someone with one for sale , usually Thais will part with owt if they see or smell the money .

Mash memories .... my scooter was beside me when i lost my virginity twas on a calm summers eve in a flowery meadow , the birds singing , the wind rustling thru a nearby copse and the dulsit tones of ginger minge Glenda Smith saying COMON LETS GET IT OVER N DONE WITH CRACKERJACKS ON THE TELLY !! ...... i loved her but she left laid semi naked in a pile of cow sh*it , just me n my scooter ............... i was 29 at the time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and scared for life

Try the link now.

Crossed wires perhaps USAV thats no Vespa or Lambretta , dont worry about getting it to los you could fly it here !! nice machine sir , mash prefers the moe sedate sounds and movemnts of the traditional Italian scooter

Mash memories .... i remember getting arested by the plods when on a stag scooter weekend in Blackpool as i rode naked along the seafront to the cheers and howls of all in attendance ..................IT WAS A COLD WINDY AY OK !! one was suffering from alcohol abuse and countersunk penis sydrome . still i had my scooter and she gave me aboner on every time.

mash ...... goodnight time to dream a little dream about sausage n scooters

Mash theres a shop in Nong Kai that sells new vespa's . Prenders knows where it is as i dont know NK to well. They are a bit expensive but look like fun,mate had a 250 cc one in uk and loved it.

Mash ive sent you a pm,check the classifieds on here

Thanks Red67 i have pmed u back .

Chriss i googled spares for Lambrettas and quite a few places in BKK came up showing pics n prices for most parts , i think the problem will be finding a Lambretta to buy as on the same sites ALL the machines were sold . Ive got a mate looking for an Li 150 or 175 for me , gona give it time and if cant find a Lambretta will get a Vespa .

Thers a Vespa sprint in the classifieds but i beleive its sold already as the ad was well old.

Anyone got the Quadrophenia dvd , soundtrack or album on cd some classis tracks Green onions , louie louie etc

mash ............ memories going to Southend on a rally and meeting Michael Elthick of Boon fame then finding out he croaked it soon after , getting pulled in by the plods on the way home for the theft of a grandfather clock from a boozer ????? bearing in mind i was on a Lambretta li 150 the sex machine just where i would put a grandfather clock is beyond me , STILL IT LOOKED GREAT IN MY GRANS HALLWAY ..........

Used to be a night market at Ladprao Rd, corner of Ratchadapisek, in BKK, with all kinds of Lambretta/Vespa parts and whole bikes for sale, as well as all the usual night market crap. It was on the SW corner, but it had moved to the NW, just past the MRT station. It seemed a lot smaller, and a lot less 'organic', and didn't have too many motorbike parts, so, even before we moved here to NK, we kinda lost interest.

I would think, however, that there MUST be a club in BKK, and/or another weekly venue where they trade parts. Probably your best bet.
