Coventry Parts Fair

Here is my Patsy who sports a Casa 210 kit and SX200 gear box.  Before we both hit bearing problems she was running like a dream, always started on first or second kick, cruised through the worst of the London traffic effortlessly as well as taking motorways in her stride. I thought the exhaust was blowing but it transpired the drive side bearing had gone.

Patsy and I both needed our bearings replaced at the same time as I became unable to ride due to hip problems which are now resolved.  Patsy too after 60,000 miles also needed new bearings and, for good measure, Patrick will fit a new crank.

Coventry Parts Fair is on the 3rd April, while Patrick cannot help with hip replacements, despite them also being completely mechanical he can help you to keep your Lambretta running reliably.  As an agent for Casa Lambretta he will have new Casa Parts with him and can advise on new products that Casa has in the pipeline to enhance the running of our classic machines for another forty years.

I am still 'running in' my new hip and will not be there so you can talk to talk to him in peace.
Make the most of it because I will back.

Enjoy the day and hope the sun shines for you.

Pilo Reborn

Here are some photographs of Pilo before her restoration. She was in a really sorry state, Christian stripped her right down and packed all the salvageable parts into boxes. After years of sad neglect there was a lot of work involved in restoring her.

Pilo

This is Christian's Pilo, so called because at the beginning she was a 'pile of s...'

Look at her now, she looks beautiful and runs like a dream. 

 

Another great Lambretta from the Scooter Surgery stable.

Parts Fairs 2016

This is Andy's Green Machine - a thoroughbred from the Scooter Surgery stable. With a Casa 210 kit, Casatronic ignition system and a Cyclone 5 speed gear box breathing through a Delorto PHBL 25mm carburettor  - this setup gives a reliable yet speedy town and motorway ride. If you want to build the Lambretta of your dreams we'll be at parts fairs listed below and would be happy to discuss your needs.

A wonderful sight

Here is Liz on her Starstream which she rides all the time.

And here is Liz bombing up the alleyway.

Award Winning LD150

Chelmsford Joe won the 'Best in Show' at Sunday Best

Mrs Chelmsford Joe shared in Joe's achievement

Joe and Patrick shared the trials and tribulations of the re-build. All parts supplied by Scooter Surgery.

It was a wonderful day, and well done to Joe for persevering. Wishing him the same sense of achievement in the next project. Joe rode away a very proud and happy man.

Stainless Steel Fixing Kits

Bobby Moore goes home

The 'Bobby Moore' themed scooter came in for the fitting of a TS1, Cyclone 5 speed gear box, RB Boyson two stage reeds, Casa Variotronic ignition, BGM Cylinder head, Franspeed Supertune exhaust, 35mm mikuni carbs and a full set of BGM shocks. Now 'Bobby Moore' has been put on the van to be reunited with owner Richard.

Result: Richard the proud owner with an easy to drive   Lambretta - that's got a lot of low down grunt.

Steve's Model B

Many, many moving parts...

Steve has entrusted Scooter Surgery in the complete restoration of his beloved Model B.  

The first step is to strip the engine... a thoroughly documented inventory will aid the rebuild.

Scootering in London is free.. but for how long?

Until now, we’ve taken riding through central London on our Lambretta’s for granted… we don’t have to think about congestion charge do we? But if Boris Johnson and his cronies have their way ALL motorcycles may have to pay in the future and vintage/classic machines may be banned entirely!  If you are in London or ever want to ride your scooter in the capital? Read on.

This morning we received an email from our friend Andy telling us about the possibility of motorcycles being charged congestion charge. Motorcyclist already have to pay to park in much of central London.

Andy tells us:

"You should go on the TFL website and fill in this survey. Oppose the proposed charge for motorcycles entering the zone. This is just an earner for Boris under the guise of "emissions’" and means riders would to have to pay £12.50 per day and older bikes could be prevented from entering central London completely?!"

TfL invites you to provide views on all the proposals by completing this online questionnaire at: 

 https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/environment/ultra-low-emission-zone/consultation/intro/view

We have added our opposition and are asking all our customers at Scooter Surgery to follow our lead. There is a box for comments - so please state exactly why you oppose this charge (keep it clean!).

Thank you 

Patrick and Maude
