Luit Bieringa – the three LI125’s

Airedale Street, Auckland 1965ish with 1959 model lambretta.

In Belgium he rode through the snow – two days ride, with no helmet (just a jersey wrapped around his head). On arriving in Holland, just as he pulled up and stopped, the throttle cable snapped. He had it imported to New Zealand, costing 8 pounds import duty.
Throughout the sixties and early seventies Jan and Luit used the

scooter on numerous trips and the “workhorse ” wasn’t retired till early in the eighties when it was stored and is now awaiting either a rustoration or restoration.
His third LI125 came from the Kapiti Coast area. where his son bought it and apart from a couple of minor alterations it is now in good working order even though only ridden once or twice a year.

1964 S3 LI125, 1959 S1 LI125
