Title edit: Pics & links, please.

Here are lipsmacking rows and stacks of mostly smallframes in Germany. If you don't know of ROLLERFABRIK, it's worth a look.

Sweet collection, but personally I think the bikes need to be ridden or they will slowly deteriorate over time. If bikes had intelligence, they would want to be ridden...

Guess you'll have to settle for the SS. Crying or Very sad emoticon

Here's a nice U.S. collection with lots of variety that I've previously posted a link to. Many of these are unrestored OG survivors in fine condition. A few of the "ORIGINALE" examples:

well... I guess these are acceptable. You may have missed the part in the thread title where it clearly says Vespa, but you are apparently the only one out of 392 who noticed this at the end.

Thanks mate. I took those pictures a few years ago at Nigel cox's place in weston super mare.

My mate and i flew over after we found out he was selling it. Believe it or not there was a chance that the entire collection was coming to the US.....Never happened. The collection was spilt after all

By far the most impressive collection i have ever seen. Three stories of Lambretta....Mecca.

Cheers

Greasy, i think we would all love to see your shop

Lammys, Rabbits, Salisburys, mini hoards of Vespas - whatever,I don't care, please post 'em up - neglected & unloved is fine too. Was just pulling Jim's leg about the great Lambretta collection - shoulda titled this :Large Scooter collections & hoards - Let's see pics &

& to Greasy: Yes, of course! Why not?

And they don't have to be huge collections you've seen personally like Jim (of course that's better - NSM exclusive!), what else have you found on the INTERNET? Maybe some have already seen these, but I know I'd enjoy seeing more... Would it be wrong if Bar Italia, etc put up a few vintage or current shots of their 'hoards'? And where's the guys with a ten or twelve bike habit? Here's your chance.

Thanks.

Here are a few shots of our scoots back when we were insane. I'd call it hoarding.. not as crazy wild as the shots earlier in the thread but plain silly for one family to own so many at once.

Nice stuff there bud, always wanted to see all of 'em together. & will have to remember the umbrella trick, have nearly burned my butt @ the beach when not paying attention. like MrExternal inline image provided by member with no explanatory text rapidly going to

Here's a little 'collection' of vintage iron. Please forgive me if it's a little out of the norm, but I just came across these (again) & thought some might enjoy. Please feel free to post any bikes from your private stash similar to these, I'd LOVE to see them. Maybe a bit OT, but I promise not to complain.

This is my Grampa who rode messenger. He was gassed while on duty, wound up in hospital & met Gramma, a nurse there. He LOVED all machines & was an early photographer(lots of quality pics of all his various ancient cars). If any collectors or restorers of these bikes would be interested in the hi-res original scans just PM me.

First Salsbury I've seen other than obscure internet references. What's the story on it, if you don't mind sharing? I just noticed this up on scootnet. If you ever considered parting with it, you might give 'em a call.

Salsbury Scooter
Hi there, I am interested in purchasing a body, project or complete Salsbury scooter. My great grandfather worked for Salsbury and I would love to be able to own a little piece of his memory. I do have a motor so if it is not in running condition that is fine. I can only spend at most $2500 and I know its a longshot but I am hoping someone will be able to help me out since this would mean a lot to my family. Thank you sincerely for your time, Kim

Thanks guys!

I spent all of my evenings and weekends last summer building my new scooter shed / shop. It's so nice not to be renting a garage and mini storage. I plan to start building some of the projects this winter.



I've been collecting scooters for several years. I like "Odd" scooters as you can see.

The dusty GTS has been sitting for 2 or 3 years. I bought it for the motor but can't bring myself to take it apart.


Yes; I do have a bunch of other mechanical. It's an addiction most all here can identify with.

I searched several years for the salsburys. The parts are very hard to find. But; that's the story with most of my scooters. I've looked as many as 5+ years for some parts.

I plan to fix the Yellow-green Salsbury (top left side of the picture) and ride it in the 2012 Scooter Canon Ball.

If any of you are ever in Willits and I'm around you're welcome to come by.
