Scooterotica

Hmmm..been a strange summer so far.
Ive been getting soaked quite a lot at work this year.
Hopefully you will get good weather for it.

Nothing happening on the build ?

Not got a garage, so a bit restrictive at the moment

With the decent weather and a bit of time on my hands I decided to have another push with project.

Priority job was to strengthen the frame.

As you can see there nothing to support the rear section other than the 40mm tube.

So:This was made from 30mm tube with pre-formed bends and welded together

Offering it up

The next stage is to whip the engine out and do some significant welding.

By the way the forks are the original Ld but they won't be staying.

A bit more fair weather and hopefully i'll be on the road !!

Hmmm that's not very good. Thought the photos were ok but obviously not, tried to edit but it won't let me ?

Here's the pictures try and work out where they should have been.
