Model: Li 150
Engine size: 175ccs
Base colour: White
Contrast: Purple
| This was my second 'psychodelic' scooter. The colour was purple over a white base and it looked quite flash. However, I decided that some of the accessories were a bit tatty and so I soon conjured up plans to make the ultimate scooter (which was to become Interstellar Aubergine). Although Lucifer Sam 2 was quite quick I was rapidly gaining tuning skills so this bike needed to make way for a larger capacity machine. |

I believe that Lucifer Sam 2 was an Li150 Special, originally, but I had given it an engine re-bore to 175ccs. |
| This was the only scooter on which I had put 'Florida' bars. After having them on for a few months I decided that I didn't really like them. It did give me some real estate on which to write Cardiff, but I thought that they tended to cover up my magnificent paintwork. If you believe that, you'll believe anything! |

If you look carefully at the photograph and compare it with my later bikes, you will see that I have not progressed as far as putting stripes on the front fairing. A good thing some folks would say. |
| You can see from the photographs that this bike had a chrome megaphone exhaust. This particular one was a bit loud - another excuse to make a new bike. |
 |
You can see from this photograph my cheap form of rear mud-flap. I couldn't afford official ones, so I cut up bits of vinyl kitchen floor covering to make my own. This one looks particularly bad, doesn't it! |
| Looking back after several years I can see that compared to my later bikes the plain front panel needed some highlighting. Some people think the plainer front looked better, but my attitude was that if I was going to make a flash bike it had to be the flashiest bike! Hence my next major project - Interstellar Aubergine. With a totally over-the-top name like that the bike had quite something to live up to - it did. |
