Cailles Underground Layer

The following scenes transpired in the last 24hours. - love saying that!
Actually these shots were taken last week in Dong's Scooter Center during a pre-ride meeting of a loose group of vintage Lambretta and Vespa owners. Discover the legend, the underground shop and loads of cool running vintage two wheelers never before seen in the internet.

Lined up for a rare photo shoot, these scoots ride daily and were all restored (save caramel) here in Dong's shop.

One of Ron "Saso" Soriano's Vespa GS150. These baby is all genuine down to the rear rack and other accessories. The Vespa APE on the right is Dong's storage cabinet. Yes, it's parked by the curb.

Two cool Lambretta SX200, a Series2 and Caramel

Chrome to the bone. Jorge's LI150 Series2 was also painted in Filcarrozeria.

Fast and furious TOP GUN 200, its creators Eddie and Dong, and its owner, Jason Conde inspecting his steed. It's up for a much needed repainting after they have improved her power to 140KPH top speed.
Red Series2 for sale.

Charlie, Ron and Jason having a colorfull conversation about cops and scoots.

After taking several pics at the scoots scattered around the street, we couldn’t resist but arrange them in formation for more photo ops. Notice almost all of them are vintage save the yellow and carramel PX's.

Hi sir, just want to ask where I can see Dong's shop? Or better yet if he has a number where I can reach him. I have just restored a 63 Li150 and I'm having engine and suspension problems that I hope he can help me fix.
