Scooterotica

the heinkel used to be owned by des at gran sport and is imaculate, the bella is unrestored and has had nothing changed since leaving the factory in 1956. 1200 miles from new. only new part is the 4 inches of fuel pipe.

the jet 200 was saved from being italianised....looks like ill have to keep it as every time i have thought about selling it some tart wants to make it look like a sx200

That worrys me seeing the chop saw in the background...fattspeed about..

i have toyed with the idea of a drz400 for the heinkel. its being converted to 200cc first to see if it can be saved.

we have been using a chop saw with a 2 stroke generator at work this week......now thats a combination of noise and smell that i like

You know I don't dig Bellas (sorry) but you know as well, that I am balls first for that Heinkel. LURRRRVLY!!!! And that Jet looks good as well

Lovely scoots nick, you have impeccable taste. Any pics of the tigress?

He still has that? I thought he sold them along with the rest of the truck load of pristine inmaculate Lambrettas he let go...

Yes lovely looking scoots those.

no.....the empire still has a hart beat.

i have a new old stock engine for it, not even with engine numbers. seals have been replaced and everything checked and ready to go in with electronic ignition nos carb and nos exhaust.

utterly beautiful engine ill take a picture. I'm looking forward to having it on the road again but keep getting distracted with other stuff

I don't get German scoots (not my cup of tea, but that should probably change if I got to see them ridden hard) but that Jet looks brilliant (and it would be even better without that backrest).

the backrest is actualy from a vespa, i modified it for a quick bolt on bolt off affair for trips to europe. with no luggage it clangs like crazy but i agree its not pretty specialy as it has a sprit rack too
