He may only be 12 but I'm sure I could help him ride it in the next few years 'til he's 17
We bought this at a very good price so it's like money in the bank. It hasn't run for 10 years but it's basically immaculate. I've already ordered all the bearings and seals for an engine rebuild. It has a Malossi 133 kit so it should go a bit. We'll need new tyres, clean the tank and carb out and all the usual bits you'd do to a scoot that's been stored.

I love it. With a dual seat I'm sure we'll get some use out of it. Dylan is very keen on old scooters already and has started to come along to rallies with me. It must be genetic.

Sweet find! A Yankee seat would be perfect on that. Here is one I found on eBay! http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=200934345846

The Yankee has about as much room for the rider as the one he has on there now.

I though a Yankee was for two-up riding.

Anyway nice PK, I like the seat that's on it.

It's an early PK from 1982. The vin starts VMX5T, from memory. He is mad for the scooter scene. Someone asked him at the weekend...."so if you could go see any band, who would it be?" They probaly thought he'd say "Justin Beba" or some such shit. They were impressed when he said "The Jam........or Madness"
I would keep the seat but ofr 2 of us to ride we'll need a bit more space.

Very nice. I love pk. I'd live to stick a square T5 headset on one to finish squaring it off. They handle beautiful too
