In Malaysia not everyone has the opportunity to owned a Lambretta scooter. The luckiest few as what i refer to the lambretta owner is the luckiest few from the number of the whole scooterist. To own a lambretta scooter is like to have a piece from the big part of our motoring history. You can easily find vespa motorscooter if you attend any of the Scooter Fest or Jamboree in Malaysia but only a small number of that large attendees were lambretta owner. The question might arise as to why there are only a small number of Lambretta left in Malaysia, the answer is simple, this "old metal horse" not only has been sent to the junkyard or scrap metal yard to be destroyed but also this precious machine has been sold outside Malaysia especially in Thailand. With a very loose regulation in Thailand many of our LI's and TV's has found a new home in Thailand and has been given tender loving care by it's new owner. I'm not trying to be hero with my effort to save the last few lambrettas in Malaysia but just to contribute what i can in order to keep this heritage to be seen by our next generation.
