It's cheaper this way ...

Post pics & videos of your scooter, projects you're working on, a lovely Vespa that you saw at a rally, or anything else scooter related.

It's a '62 Spanish Li150. Already had a GT186 built into a GP125 carcass so that's going straight in. Other than that, it'll be largely standard with a twin tank conversion.

Hoped to have the forks in by now but managed to destroy a new lower bearing track yesterday :o

Hi, Col. Probably is the answer.

This engine did about 13 miles per litre previously whereas the TS1 does 10. Davos, via Harwich/Hoek, will be about 1800 miles for me. That's a lot of petrol and oil :D

It doesn't seem like a proper "project" somehow, Toddy. No engine rebuild and no rattle can spray overspray :P

That reminds me of all that was left of a car I parked in Liverpool after a human league concert in about 1980 :D

Thought about doing similar with my GP, just engine, forks,wheels headset, tank and air box. would probably look shite but it will be on the road I guess and for cheap coin.
