Scooterotica

stunning scoot, mate.

folks may wonder why such a loverly scoot is for sale already? (wish i had the cash)

I sort of answered that , I have jsut had enough of them at the moment. Cant muster enthusiasm even to ride it, which is a waste. Took it for its MOT yerterday and it is lovely to ride, but just put it in the garage and had no inclination to get back on it, which probably says something. Someone will proably end up getting a bargain, because it is for sale and whetevr it goes for thats it. On ebay at moment.

tis a shame pal good luck with the sale i hope it fetches a lot more than what its up for

The bike looks great! I see that you are running a 30mm carb and not using a quick action throttle. What did you do to get the throttle to completely open the carb? Did you modify the pulley?


Tim

No modifications were done, I think, just used a long cable and it all worked, opens the throttle fully

this old vespa was at brid today i think, Does anyone know how it did in the custom show ?

I should get some confirmation today at some point Sean, at best it looked superb and really got the punters buzzing

As far as I know it got the following:

Best Vespa(upto Rally)

Best Vespa Streetracer

Best Vespa Ridden.

I'm not sure on the following as I had to leave the Spa to collect beer so I'm just going on what I was told

Best Paint

Punters Choice

Best of Show

I'm sure I'll be corrected if these are wrong.

Overall the oustanding quality of all 86 custom scooters was amazing..

The judges have some very hard decisions to make

I can substantiate this as he looked like the cat that had got the cream with his 3 boxes of Tennents


Take a bow Mr Brady another show winning scooter to the collection
