Bruce's James autocycle



Neil has lovingly restored his James autocycle.  We had the honour of having a little hand in it because we remagnatised his flywheel. 

It is amazing to see where he started from and such a pleasure to see another historical bike saved.

Living with a Lui as your daily ride (how to get up that hill)

This is Patrick’s daily machine used for work. So far it has covered forty thousand miles since its last rebuild. All that has been changed is the occasional cable and spark plug.

On the original build it was fitted with a 75 Casa kit running with the original carburetor. It now has a modified manifold to take a modern rubber mounted carburetor which has led to an increase in power across all the range. And Patrick can now get up the hills.

Have Lambretta will travel

This Lammie came in for a rear hub oil seal. Again she has a very proud owner who uses her daily.  The box on the back is for his dog who travels around London with him.  She was a joy to see in her orginal condition.

This is Daves baby that he built himself.  She came to Scooter to  be jetted prior to Dave's scooter fest to Germany

You can follow her progress here.

Rosie

This is Rosie, my TSI.  Next to her is Patrick's Lui. 
We often have a heart warming line of Lammie's 
lined up outside the Scooter Surgery shop.

Craig's Blue Bullet


Craig has restored his Lammie and named her Blue Bullet.  He will be flying around St. Albans on her, so watch out world, here he comes. The parts came from Scooter Surgery.

Mole

Maurice Benn known as Mole, came to Scooter Surgery today on his 1954 Agusta to get a flywheel recharge for one of his other motorbikes.  He was thrilled that this was possible.

Jo from Chelmsford

Joe lovingly built his Lambretta in
his garage at home.  This necessitated many drives for him and wife from Chelmsford to Hammersmith to talk over the various sticking points with Patrick.  Another beautiful Lambretta restored and back on the road with the help of Scooter Surgery.

Joe has emailed to say 'you under estimate your input. Dont forget you rebuilt the engine, supplied the majority of the parts, let me rob parts off your engine test frame along with technical support and good coffee.

Thank you Joe.  Enjoy riding your Lammie.




Marks pride and joy

Mark rode in on his scooter today.  She is a
TS1 225 with a Mekuni carb, standard reed block and fitted with an electronic kit.

The colour is a glorious deep pearlised red and in the sun she looked stunning.
