Now that you have seen the bike in the mag would like to show the evolution of the worst taste in scootering. Image

Started the project in 2004 with an old damned fuc*ed PX series frame that I painted blue as this was my favorite colour in the end of the 80s.
Did buy a few white accessoiries and did ride it to several runs all over Germany.

Reached different stages before stopping the project and turned over to the red chassies I bought as a completely scoot in 2005.

This is what I made from the blue PX then: a Malossi 210cm³ Williams racer.
Had a lot of fun with it for 4 years until spring of 2009 when it was sold to a club mate.
Watch the white right hand side stand, the fly wheel cover and the spoiler. This is really the same scoot!Image

Image

Then in 2005 I did start the red PX series with all these ugly pieces I have stored in the shed for years.

Image

And this is how the story ended when Poppa asked me for a Scootering feature in summer.

Maybe you like it - maybe you don´t.
I like it - and hate it too.

You built it for the article?

I'm not really a Vespa fan but when I saw the article I found this one strangely desirable, but I have no idea why :?
