Lambretta Club USA Board Members


Benjamin “Jay” Fichialos


I’m old enough to know who Johnny Carson is... I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan with my wife Jill and our Italian greyhound Vespa. I’m currently working on a graduate degree in Human Computer Interaction at the University of Michigan.

My first scooter was an LD mark III, spray painted blue from tire to chrome. I spent about two years restoring it back to near perfection. Since then there have been a number of Lambrettas, today I ride a Jet 200 tuned for touring and have numerous projects in the works, the latest addition is a C model.

Over the years I’ve developed a passion for Lambrettas, I love to ride them, work on them and talk about them. Other scooters are great but in my opinion without question Lambrettas are still the “worlds finest”.

I’m looking forward to meeting other lambrettista from around the world and promoting the virtues of the Lambretta and the Lambretta Club USA.

I’m 31 and live in the Bay Area, about 1/2 south of San Francisco with my wife Jene and daughter Lily. I have been working in finance since I graduated from college in '94.

I have been scooting since '91. If I'm not working or hanging out with my family, I am usually in the garage working on scooters. I love Lambrettas not only because of their style, but because I feel that they handle better, are more tuneable, and are generally better engineered than their peers. My goal is to see more and more Lammies at rallies (already happening) and on the road. I encourage anyone even remotely interested to join the Lambretta Club USA and look forward to meeting you all in the years to come.

I currently live in South Beach Florida with my fiancé Jon Kroge. I got into scooters around 10 years ago back in Denver Colorado.

I fell in love with the beauty and style of the vintage Italian scooters. What other two-wheeled vehicle could let you ride around in such style while sporting a skirt or dress! My pride and joy Lambretta is my 1959 Series I LI 150 with an Imola kit. I also have a 1973 Jet200 and a Vespa P200. My latest scooter though has to be the sweetest gift I have ever got. While in Italy Jon picked up a J Deluxe as a Valentine’s gift for me. Through scooters I have met so many amazing people.

I love the fact that it is almost like a family, we all take vacations together (rallies) and talk almost everyday (internet). The Lambretta Club USA is going to be a great way to help keep the Lambretta family alive and together!

My obsession with scooters began when I was studying in Florence, Italy. I passed hundreds of “motorini” everyday walking through the streets and I knew that I need one.

I met and married Ryan, a fellow Lambretta enthusiast, while at college. Soon after graduation we moved to Venice, Italy for a few months while interning at the Peggy Guggenheim Museum. Fall of 2000 we moved from Salt Lake City, Utah to Ann Arbor, Michigan. I am currently working at the University of Michigan and will be starting a Master of Fine Arts program fall of 2005. Living in Michigan is pretty great except it only allows a few months warm enough to ride our scooters, a 1965 TV 200 and a 1952 LD 125 Mk 1.

I have enjoyed working with the LCUSA members and hope to meet more of you at future rallies!
