Scooterotica

I found these photos of a mid 90's production from Planet Knowledge.













The back-end was covered by a one-piece fibre glass item to maintain the GP look. This was the scooter in the final dry build before strip down and painting, but it was sold shortly afterwards.

Some serious work went into that monster Martin..

i am sure i saw that at a very early mersea island rally? and then again at a later mersea for sale iirc

I've always liked left hand exhausts. Fills that boring gap.

Yes, it did go to Mersea, but not under it's own steam. Some of the engineering looks very crude by today's standards, but there are bits which I still like.

Your short changing yourself there some very nice touches like the radiator cowl built into the leggies and the ducted front mudguard. Monoshock mounting, anti-dive......

Any pics of it dressed?

You might have done, or at least bits of it.

I am struggling to find photos of the scooter with the back-end fitted, but I found these:





And this shows the two-part head, just after a volume check.
