"Ji Jim, as per our other conversation it looks like most go with the PX option.... the more i think of it the more that option makes me yawn!!! sorry to offend any PX lover ( brilliant machines) but a restored Lammie is a thing of beauty... well as…"
Mick Harwood replied to Jim Jacob's discussion 'I need help from my mod brothers and sisters???????/'"I would go for a PX, its the ideal first geared scooter. Thats what I did, I got plenty of miles under my belt on a PX and then when I felt comfortable and experienced enough on that I did my full test......... and then got a Lammy ! (200cc…"
hubert davenport replied to Jim Jacob's discussion 'I need help from my mod brothers and sisters???????/'"who has restored the lambretta ?
theres no reason why a properly sorted lambretta series 3 shouldnt be a good buy providing its been screwed together well with quality parts .
then again it will be a nightmare if it hasnt
if theres any question…"
Gordon replied to Jim Jacob's discussion 'I need help from my mod brothers and sisters???????/'"If it's your first scooter get a P.X. Vespa 125. Lammy 125's are dead slow. If you want to get you bike test over and done with get a Vespa T5. "
Richard Arnold replied to Jim Jacob's discussion 'I need help from my mod brothers and sisters???????/'"The LI125 is a lovely machinr, but the PX125 will be a better servant. Also, look at LML. Pretty much identical to the PX, in fact most of them are badged as a px. However, a lot cheaper and to be honest they have a better finish. I've just…"

"LOL its always a Lammy in bits on our clubs runs :-)"
gem replied to Jim Jacob's discussion 'I need help from my mod brothers and sisters???????/'"i would go and have done ,for the PX, they are very reliable ,everyone i know who owns a lammy seem very religious ,they spend most of their time on their knees with the side panels off"
Paddy McGonigle replied to Jim Jacob's discussion 'I need help from my mod brothers and sisters???????/'"If the Lammie had a full resto, an electronic ignition and a warranty i'd go for it, there's nothing wrong with Lambrettas (i've owned a few) Vespas are a lot easier to work on if you need to fix them yourself."
Jim Jacob replied to Jim Jacob's discussion 'I need help from my mod brothers and sisters???????/'"Thanks paddy. would you still go for the px even if the lammie had a full rennovation. Are the px's alot more reliable ??? My heart says lambretta my head says vespa. I really dont know what to do?. thanks again for your help mate."
Paddy McGonigle replied to Jim Jacob's discussion 'I need help from my mod brothers and sisters???????/'"Hi Jim, if it's your first ever scoot then i'd go with the PX. Pouring Oil in your tank when you fill up is no great hardship but for reliability in my opinion the PX would be better (i'm gonna regret saying that, lol). There's…"
