Scooterotica

not exactly in bits here .. just finnished up gearing in truth.. but it was playing up a bit that day

Scooter cut out this thurs night entering a pub carpark,kicked backed up revved its nuts off-air leak! Lost rest of group & lad i was with was on a gts,no tools but he did have a torch,delved into my toolbox had a couple of spanners etc & some tape,carb rubber had split taped it up put fasteners back on was just about holding together got half way home & carb came off,fitted it back on in dark with help of an off duty motorcycle cop who happened to pass-he had a torch,made job easier,had to use a bungee rope to hold it place.

Didnt get pics on nite but took em next day;





Came off has soon has i took bungee off;



The offending item;




Seen a thread about this splitting-mite of been on here before?

This was my first run on he road after a dyno,



What looked good body clearance, wasn't enough with 15 stone and a big handful of throttle

Air hacksaw soon sorted the clearance for the next run

I borrowed the wifes scooter for a run out in the summer,




And broke it

And a blurry shot of a broken VBB,



Taken from my broken camera whilst I lay on the grass verge waiting for my ambulance,
And NO, it wasn't my Vespa, I was on the Lambretta that got tangled up in the mess

I hope next year is kinder to my scooters :biggrin:

Me fixing a mates scooter on the Mille Miglia this year...



And again...

They are the worst ones people watching and offering opinions when you just want to get on with it

Campsite not roadside but still fixing the bloody things. Much better when you get paid for it!

Well I'm very impressed mr diablo that must be one huge tool box you have, gazebo, work bench and tool chest
If I breakdown I call for the breakdown services if they can't fix it I go home

You'd be amazed what you can fit on a Vespa nowadays mate!
