++ update++ did last years rallies on a well deserved but not asked for sparkplug.
so recapping smuggly. this bike had a £2.75 plus carplan tesco two stroke to the tune of a bottle a week.
it passed more scooters than passed it and gamely started come rain or shine.
its now inherited rear foot boards and a rasta key ring fob.
seriously folks anybody riding cheaper?.
oh and i got an even rustier sprint rack off Skipsey at the York sc bash. happy days . this has got to be too good to last! wheres the heart ache? wheres the limp wallet? wheres the oily fingers clutching my snakebite. ive even lost weight and i reckon a bit of my hairs grown back. arent lambrettas reliable?
