Annual gatherings

Statesiders (and likely many others) are probably familiar with the huge motorcycle rally held annually at Sturgis SD. http://sturgismotorcyclerally.com/ My daughter and son-in-law brought me a shirt from the 2015 event, which I wore to a concert yesterday.

Re: Vespa speedo drive

Are the internal cable - that part that turns - and the cable jacket/housing correctly matched for length? The internal cable should be able to almost bottom out at the wheel and almost bottom out at the speedometer but not actually bottom out even when the housing is tightened at both ends. A non-g...
