Ha!!.......you started it with the wrong math, I was just tryin to help correct you. You don't wanna go around with missinformation do ya....... And your novel post sounds pretty......... "authoritarian"......you mentioned the 175 in reference to yours.

Also, I didnt say they were a dime a dozen david..............you did.

....if you read than you'll see I actually said I agree with you on the 175, if its untouched.

Anyway, who gives a shit.........don't take it personally. There's really nuthin to argue, its just getting the math right. We both know the tv175 and 200 is the best. You have one and I don't.......period.

(fyi, there were 31,500ish tv175's made from 62' to end 63')

Hey Guys, I've heard a lot of good banter about the "TVs". What is it about them that 2 wheelers like so much? In the meantime, I'll "Google" a pic.

So I guess your saying many things could be better than a fingered bum

Anyway I never answered.

My scoot would be set perfectly right again. Back to original color I think with everything working. I would give all the money left after paying my house away...

Just a stupid ole scooter made in the 60's. Nuthin special. Hard to find correct parts for....hard to learn how to ride properly because of gearing and porting.......both are just plain hard to find.


Not a great scooter at all.

Which is why I want one. I have a small block. So in sticking to the topic that is why I mentioned the 200 in the beginning.

Ahh shit you beat me to it... I've loved Wolle's work for a long time, and right after ai had a shop built equipped with everything imaginable, I'd order a custom from S&S, then make my own w/ all my new tools and see who won!
ahis Black small frame is still my favorite bike ever.. (maybe!.., that's a hard one)

Best answer yet! I might even try it with some of my shabby bikes, the prize money going for a 1st class support vehicle to haul 4 or 5 spare scooters as well as the usual 1st class support stuff(to include 1st class sleeping accommodations of course)

Thanks for reminding me to dream large, ebeth no mere metal parts & pieces for you when you win.
