Modern Vespa

but your profile doesn't even show a Vespa in the list with a leader engine - are you holding out on us?

Haha. No, but we still service loyal customers from when we had our shop...

Finally started insulating my shop.

Trying hard to assembling my pink engine after changing all the bearings, its suck to the reality that the last time i open it i didnt change the christmass gear and the cruciform.. I know my bad as i try to reduce the cost to buying part. Learn my lesson well and change thw whole worn thing inside

Have a nice monday and cheer everyone

Is Alif the no oil boy birthday so we decide to hit the mountain to celebrate his 17th, a good moment to test the pink engine and hang out with Mr. Toni, Sofyan and his friends.. Even better my wife and mr. Toni wife is joining us along with his daughter as well.. Hope the no oil boy Alif have a blessed year a head

Happy holiday and cheer everyone

The good news is MAHLE makes very good parts.

Enjoy the ride! Hopefully no oil boy no longer lives up to his moniker!

Happy holidays to you and your family brother e

Thanks Brother S, i apriciate it a lot

Happy holiday to you and ur family as well, tell them i say cheer

I love your build and your adventure posts Ebeth; I just followed you up Puncak on Google Maps.

Happy holidays, and best wishes for the new year.

If u curious about our adventure today, we didnt just go to pincak but also bukit khayangan, in english its like paradise hills.. Why cause u need to be angel to get there

If words wont desribe the harsh things pics will do.. This is my gift for Alif and for everyone here.. The sense of adventure

Merry Christmass and cheer everyone

Indeed, it is. And a merry Christmas to you and yours, as well!

That looks like an awesome place to take a ride, ebeth! I'm jealous!

Here in Chicago, I was happy that the snow and cold are holding off so I could get the Sprint out instead of the Stella. I'd forgotten how fast and fun to ride the Sprint is.

Much better than the Stella, even if it's imminently more practical for this time of year.

Come here and i took you there Brother C

Today i change the front disc brake shoes, i know i ride it to hard till the shoes fall off glue it back and good to go

Have a nice holiday and happy new year 2020

Love you, man! Sounds like something that I'd try to pull.


And an Indo Happy 20 20 to you too, pal. Party on.

Today was back to the snow and the Stella. Snow tires are doing really well, though.

I went out to the garage and noticed a decent sized pool of 2t oil underneath it, which did not make me happy. Regardless, I rode it because the sight glass was still full, but I'll be pulling the tank on New Year's Day, even if it's 20f degrees out.

Also, I have another wire into the headset that seems to be dying (headlight turns off when I turn the handlebars all the way to the left). Looks like time for more remedial electrical work, too. Meh.

Maybe I'll even get motivated to fix the choke cable correctly rather than with the bodigiest of bodging that's in there now, even if it works just fine.

Picked up a 125 Efl engine just to break it for the v4a3box and Iingernals

Paging Koenig Blues. Are you in this video? Sadly it's in der German.

Die Vespa-Rebellen von Indonesien | GEO Reportage | ARTE

It must have been a couple of years since SubEtherBass and I had a ride with just the two of us. And this turned out to be quite memorable, as often happens with Callum for one reason or another.
We were down at Callum's in Coronet Bay and having a look at maps, trying to work out a route that took in as many good roads as could be fitted in a day. At least some parts of the Grand Ridge Road were a given, with a loop back that hopefully didn't involve straight highway roads... we were spoilt for choice.
The day started with a bang, albiet a small one as we headed to the servo. Which was 100 metres away. Blown tube on Speedy... just one of many in recent times with the last being on xmas day.
Once under way it didn't take long to find the awesome roads and the amazing scenery. While the smoke haze obviously had an ominous feel, it did lend a certain mystery or eeriness to the views. There was suprisingly little traffic. Once into the twisties and further, we only saw two utes and a pair of dirt bikes in about a three hour period! The best bits of the GRR are fantastic but you do need to watch for those mid-corner bumps and dips which can be a bit scary.
Then we got out of the farmland and into the forest and it was absolutely gorgeous. The photos don't do it justice. After a bit we ended up on a well-made logging road, although the gravel size started to get bigger and bigger!
After a bit Speedy decided to pull over, complaining of an odd feeling of disconnectedness and a possible tummy bug in the crankshaftal area. The clutch was removed for inspection with suprising ease, in fact had the scooter been upright it would have fallen out once the cover was off.
Being a bit short on super glue Speedy was escorted to the privacy of some nearby bushes/swamp, so we piled on mine, two up, back for a vehicle to collect it with.
That in itself was also great fun, as twisty dirt gave way to twisty bitumen, although some of the decision making of the road repair crew in that part of the world left a bit to be desired! They kept making 'repairs' that somehow always ended up as a narrow band of fine gravel spread in a half-metre wide strip, almost always just before the corners!
Once on to the highway we filled up then sat on 100 for the next 40 minutes, well aware that we didn't want to be looking for Speedy in the dark. That was also fun - but not too much a Callum had a little snooze. Well it had been a long day.

You GUYS!

Doesn't get much better or worse than that.

Wow - Now THAT's an adventure! Thanks for the story Ginch - truly an awesome day in the grand scheme of things!

Ha ha! It seems to be the sort of thing that happens a lot when you ride with SEB!

A bit of Cosa "Mark 1" love for today...

New clutch plates...

Love that color!!!

I saw this today, anybody know anything??? That is a small town and UPS works well mostly, so why not?

I'm curious about this too - I wonder how much it'd cost to have a set of engine cases vapor blasted. I checked the website but no prices are posted...

I took 5 garbage cans full of aluminum cans to the recyclers today, rang up $12.50 minus ten bucks for this leaves me $2.50 for a cheapish cheeseburger. Win!

^^^^

Score.

nice Brother T, it will be practise to save tolls and bolt now, remind me that i should have a organize drawer someday

Took me 3+ hours in Corel Draw but it was worth it. A sticker you can't find anywhere. Now to have it printed...

Nice! Bet I can guess what color you're painting your T5.

That's impressive Safis.

Attending my wife nephew wedding

Being a gentleman is not just about looks brother, but if it was, you'd have it in spades!

thanks Brother M

actually its not the looks, i was supposed not to come cause i was never invitate but my wife and my mother in law want me to come to acompany them.. For days it was a dilema, and my wife told me u should act more like a gentlement not like a child.. I said sure why not as long it make my wife and my mother in law happy

while i am at it why not make it ever crazier and result is my wife happy seeing me wear a good look and my mother in law proud at me in case everyone curious why, its simple.. ur not supposed to use a suite on a 35c degree tropical weather especially on a crowded room without air condition normal folks ussually use shirt

Once again we are all a not so normal folks

Have a nice monday and cheer

Fantastic Brother E - And I'm digging the mustache! It goes perfectly with your suit! Great picture!!!

Ha ha ha! That says it all E... very true!

Yeah but you always manage to top me without even trying!
Pleasing the mother in law is good incentive but I think we all know who is the boss here.

So last night I did something I always try to avoid, but sometimes can't...I drilled holes in my Sprint frame.

In this case, it was to replace the original helmet hook with a locking one so I can lock my helmet to the bike when I park it after my commute.

But it still hurt my heart a little to do it, even if it would hurt my heart a LOT more if my new AGV helmet got stolen.

Man you have a good mustache great looking couple there

Thanks guys, today i escort the senior rider on a turing from bogor to banten around 150km, been a while since i ride in big group (21 vespa) and it sure does fun and lots of smile

Hope everyone have a nice weekend and cheer
