hey music, i know in a way that awsome bike keeps you warm.i know its easy for me say that where i am sitting. i bet when your rideing and your in that zone,feeling the bike ,listening to the motor and other idiosyncrosies that we enjoy,there is a moment when you get lost in that and thats when , for a moment its not 32 its whatever in you mind.then ,BAM, knees start knocking and your looking for a coffee shop to get your joe on.
i included a pic of richard and his p,who i met today at southbay scooter club ride.nice peeps and not to mention that p.same year as my project bike.
also met a guy named mario with a nice old largeframe,pin stripping by hand in a ed roth fashion.i asked him take my bike for a ride,he has many,cause i wanna show of the motor .
stay warm music,your not alone.jimmy

I'm the third owner of this 1962 TV175 Series 3. The first man rode it 660 miles (in the early 1960's) then stored it in his garage for 35 years. The next guy repainted the original yellow on the scooter to gold(that's all he did to the scooter). He then rode the scooter about 50 miles. It then sat in his garage 7 years. I bought it with 710 miles on it, everything was original except the paint job. I had it repainted(only the yellow parts) back to its original color. I do like the scoots with custom paint job's, but personally, I like the stock look very much.

what a great story on your bike .i think you did the only thing logical. to have a near new bike and to only mess with a couple panels color is truley a find of a life time. this lam thing is really cool. low center of gravity. i think i will slam my p project low rider style.i dont know if this can be done.examples ?

Damn! That looks cold. Not sure If I could deal with that. When I lived in northwest Florida I rode a small Suzuki and when the temp. would drop into the 40's I thought that I was going crash (my arms would tremble so much). Then again, all I had was a crappy jacket.
