Vespa rebuild time ...

[76ra24]

Hi,
My boss and I picked up 2 100 Sports last spring from his father in laws shed!

both were in decent shape aside form over 20 years in storage.

The Blue bike had less than 4000kms on it and the White is currently sitting at 6000 some.

The Blue bike was the first to get running last summer, Cleaned the tank and carb new battery, and install all lights it was running awesome!!

till the tank carb clogged up again ... but still rode it around the OK most of the summer.

some pics (cell phone sorry about the quality)

coming home


both bikes unloaded


Bent fork


Blue Bike ready to Ride


and jsut started rebuilding the other one this past weekend


Damage from bent fork


and cleaning the gas tank
Some castrol super clean and hot water does wonders at breaking the old oil and gas gunk


Hope to make it to some of the weekly rides this summer.

Quick question ...

Malossi or Polini big cc kit?

Cheers

I think Malossi are more expensive. I have a Polini and it's great.

Who's the Land Rover fan? I see at least one Series LR in the background. I'm selling all of my scooter crap. Might buy another Land Rover with the proceeds.

we are both members of Roverlanders, he used to be the club president and is more of a nutter than I am, although i have been involved with rovers since i was young.

might get one Rover in the near future not sure though

I'm in Roverlanders too. I drove a Series III for years but sold it about 5 years ago. Have regretted it ever since. Been nosing around for another one.

Still working on the white vespa ...

but I picked up a LandRover on on the Long weekend.



the blue vespa is in the process of getting registration paperwork, and is also for sale, wish I could afford to have both scoots, but money and space is becoming a problem.

Nice, don't see too many lightweights around these parts. Too bad Allan Simpson moved Roverworks to Merritt. It was fun to go down to Summerland to see what he had there.

hope to have the white bike running very soon weather is so nice now!!
