Scooterotica

I recently 'restored' my li125 so that it is now an sx185 in a colour that was never available on lambrettas, but I like it. My next one will be along the same lines just because I'm not that bothered about complete originality. I just like them to look 'standard' even if they're not.

Just do whatever makes you happy - by the way, I like that 125 special metallic blue but the one in your pictures has the wrong sidepanels on.
