Hello Vespa Fans,

My name is Michael and just registered a few minutes ago. Born in Florida and now living as a retired dude in Europe.

I've had a couple of Vespas, the last 10 years with ET4 125's. Now I'm tuning a fresh and young Leader motor with a 187 kit. Just for fun, soon the transplant, hopefully.

Lots of pics, maybe a new topic showing?

I've seen this site often, just thought its time to register. Lots of great info here, many thanks.

Greetings, Michael

Well the Vespa World does seem to be small. A wonderful world.

Many thanks for the pleasant greetings.

We all love pics, so I started my 1st topic over on the Projects Forum, a work in progress. Making an ET4 187 come alive.

Greetings to all, Michael

Thanks again folks. The motor upgrade is in progress, lots of pics already and more to come. I figured a step-by-step deal might prove interesting for some members, and a good way to get acquainted.

Right here; ET4 187 Project, NEW UPDATE

Now, back to busting knuckles.

Michael
