My good friend Danielle bought a used Vespa LX 150 that wasn't running and needed some work. I offered to fix it up and do some modifications for her! Check out what I did to get this Vespa back on the road!

Great work Mick. It was great entertainment watching you bringing that LX150 back to life.

Watched that on Youtube last night funnily enough. Enjoyed it. 👍👍
Would love an LED headlight option for my ET2 but with BA20D bubs not being that common anymore, I wonder whether a decent and reliable one could even be sourced. So - Any plans for the bodywork in future? Will you be doing it? |

good watch but have you considered the safety of the gear you wear? 🙃

Without causing an uproar with the 'safety first' brigade, somehow it wouldn't seem right to watch Mic doing his scooter maintenance wearing PPE (Personal Protection Equipment).
I like Mic's alfresco style of mechanicing, listening to the wildlife around him as he does his work. His videos are a direct counterpoint to the workshop based, hydraulic lift use tuturiols from Robot of Scooterwest. When I first bought my GTS 4 years ago, it was often one of Mic's videos which helped inform me and showed me that scooter maintenance can be done without the aid of a motorcycle lift, with basic tools and with a little bit of improvisation. The very fact that he is a free spirited surfer-dude from Hawaii makes his videos all the more watchable and entertaining.

Agreed - my last two visits to A&E were due to incidents in my kitchen. I mean, where do you stop?! People nowadays have wear helmets for everything (including sex!). 🤣 |
