I've been riding for the last 2 years and have racked up about 12,000 miles total. My first bike was a black ET4. Like a lot of people my only experience with scooters were vespa's and hondas. Although I like the ET4, when I first saw a lambretta I knew had to have one. When my ET4 met a unfortunate demise, I was determined to find a lambretta. I finally found the perfect lambretta late last year. I've had my share of breakdowns but no matter what I never get tired of trying to get her just perfect. It's just as fun working on the bike as it is riding.
