Here is a couple of pictures of me on my Vespa 150 Sprint that i use as my daily driver when i am at home on leave. (yeah i know i am an ugly b@5t@rd) The scooter was bought as a box of parts when i did a scooter shop stock clearance in Jakarta. The guy told me it was a 150 super :D

I rebuilt this about 7 years ago now and due to the fact it has DK (Bali) plates i couldnt get it registered in Jakarta but i didnt want to part with it. When we moved down to Bali a few years ago i paid a few back handers to the local vehical department and bobs your auntie a new log book in my name with the original 1973 number. The engine is standard and that is fast enough for me, i have always loved the Sprint and think it is a great "out of the box" scooter with regards to style and power.

Really nice scoot.....

May I say you are one lucky git to be living in a warm place, I have been trying for years to get my mrs to get out of this damp/grey/cold climate but still here. People tell me that at least in the UK you get 4 seasons what a lot of crap that is I have been living here for 35 years and all I have seen is 1 season "Winter" :x :x

What are you doing over there?

Agreed, beautiful scoot. How about finding a picturesque backdrop next time though instead of Margate beach! :D

The idea of the nice back drop is to offset the impact of my ugly mug as these are the photos from my face book files, and the only ones i have of my sprint on this computer.
