If anyone in NorCal wants to work on a sit-down scooter project, I
have a 1960 Lambretta I converted with an Etek motor, 4QD controller
and 4 SBS Hawkers. I've driven it only around the block because it
needs work to be useable, but I won't go into detail (many details). I
don't want to sell it (because I don't think anyone would pay enough
to recoup a fraction of what it has cost), but would prefer to loan it
out as a learning project. I'd pay for whatever was needed, but don't
have the mechanical skills for the needed tweaking.
