Modern Vespa

That head light is awesome but I understand it's a bitch to get a replacement bulb for them state side.

Astro your VBA looks sweet glad to hear it's running again.

Yeah I wondered about replacements, but Damn that looks cool. Thanks Nigel, and to the others who commented as well. It feels good to have it on the road. I've been in a bit of a funk over her for about 5 months now.

Chav Crashes Into Biker!!:

and then took off.. they shoulda gone after him

oh.. and almost dumped on take off!

Should have thumped the little scrote

id have leathered him .....
had a go at a tit that pulled out on me in his bmw this morning forgot I didnt have carbon knuckles on me gloves when I punched the top of his open window ...... ouch

Lose the tennis shoes and get some boots bitsa. Nice dent in his door will learn him

steelies for work ..... nice for riding in too .... never think about kicking im more punchy punchy

+1 Jackson! They should have done this from the start I reckon.

I waffle on this subject.. I don't really like the square.. but that could just be because I'm so used to the round.. if they had done it from the start and I didn't know any better, maybe I'd have a different opinion about them..

Had a good afternoon at V oodoos drinking and bullshitting about scooters. Thanks Mrs. V for providing dinner

Well, I tried the #42 idle jet that I soldered half the atomizer holes closed on.... and it wouldn't idle. Period. At all. Swapped back in the stock idle and went on a short ride. Definitely rich on the upper mid and WOT.

On another note, I paid almost $7 extra for SIP to "express speed" my package, which means shipped on the same day as the order is received. Well the order was received Monday, but UPS didn't get my package till Tuesday. Going to email SIP and bitch about, like my mom would, that woman will argue over a nickel with the cashier.

Looks like heaven...except for the Budweiser. The it must be hell.

Stayed up all night droppin the motor outta my P n stickin it in my Rally. Upgraded to a 24/24 and SIP Road Pipe along the way. Just got it fired up. Shout out to Vader for tech support.

Ugghhh... coffee's wearin off, & I gotta work in a couple hours

Damn that thing looks the snazz.

Good on ya.

...btw went to an art opening for a Beaumont artist named Abigail McLaurin Saturday. You ever see her stuff? Wicked cool and americana-creepy stuff.

Saw a pretty fantastic tshirt. Course I'm broke and don't have the grip to buy it. Name that song

Who do you love?

Yeah it's pretty sweet isn't it.

thanks, and Yes. She is super talented. I love the large format stuff.

Was driving my car (lame) to work, fretting about my F'd up P2 motor... and got got rear ended hard as F*ck by an uninsured motorist. Pushed me under an SUV. TOTALED.

Shit one macgerk. Your just having no luck

Damn Mack.. that sucks.. keep your chin up.. you're obviously being tested! Everything works out one way or another..

Well now you have some real motivation to get that woodruff key out

By the way, that blows. Good to now you're okay, though. No major injuries?

Holy Crap Marcus....what in the hell did you do to piss off the man for all this shit to happen to you? it's shitty now.......no where to go now, but up!

Thanks guys... yeah i'm fine...back n neck a lil tweaked, but as my job requires using my car for deliveries... yeah...

thought id broken the matrix on me way to work . . everu morning I see a lad in hi viz kit black lid black visor on a maroon p210 drop bars slope seat et light number on the side...... this morning I saw another .. different make lid no number but the rest the same ..... wierded me out

My carb arrived yesterday evening from SIP, along with a P horncast, black seat cover, and underseat helmet hook.

Fail on Polini's part. The carb's supposed to be a Mikuni VM22 adapted to Polini's specifications to work with the LML 4T engine with a Polini manufactured intake manifold. Well the manifold places the carb so the idle screw is partially obscured by the cooling shroud but you can still adjust it, the idle mix screw is on the bottom (despite the fact that a regular Mikuni VM has an air screw on the side) so I have no idea if you can adjust it without removing the carb, and neither the carb or manifold are threaded so you have to use 2 bolts with nuts to attach them.

SIP, on the other hand, throws together a nice package. Everything was in nice SIP ziplocs, had a cool folder to hold the invoice, and I got a sticker and magazine.

got some colour on me scoot .... need to do the frame tomorrow .... tis looking good even if i do say so mesen .... blowing me own trumpet

got a massive box from scooter center too

Come on B.. some preview pics? can't wait to see it.. exciting times you're livin'

just for you .......

YES, Bitza! That looks great. I love orange.

Well alright!... it's happening.. I'm jealous..

Gonna be killer.

Ulster says NO!!!



Looking good bitsa!

[quote="jackson85"]Ulster says NO!!!

Well... it depends, if you live in an "Italian" area then orange is a big NO-No but if you live in a "French" area then orange is the way to go...



(I lived in NI for few years) (and the painted sidewalks would clarify in which area you are of course).

Looks juicy, Bitz!

cheerz peeps ... shat mesen when i opened the tin .. its way different to looking at a tiny swatch in the paint shop ..... hope i can polish it right when its dried ........ need to start the bloody engine rebuild sharpish
