Thailand Trip Feb 2009 part 2

This Green GP is Italian and is his main rally machine...it does have panels and when ridden anywhere they are fitted. The engine is an RB22 with 62mm (I think crank) and a Saigon Taffspeed clone pipe. The heat is generally in the 90's in BKK so making sure this is dialled in correct is of mild concern!!! No EGT's here.
I took this for a spin round town and it's awesome...it runs a Dellorto at the mo, but he plans to fit a TMX35 in the near future. Lambrettas are the lastest classic trend to be taken up by the younger generation in Thailand and especially BKK, where you'll see many classic VW campers, Nortons, Triumphs, Vespas, restored BMW classic cars and bikes, totally maxed out retro Honda C90's all flying about. All the younger guys know this bike very well. I would guess at the time it was the only RB in Thailand.
