Modern Vespa

right ive been building this since the end of april last year ..... had the plan while i was building the orange bastard as wanted something dirty looking ... this has been built on friday afternoons at work as i dont have a shed n me boss is well understanding ... lets me use the booth too

remember the bull? it used to be the bitza



not spent alot on it as its using shit from the shed



stripped.... then off to the blasters to come back n scare the shite outta me





crash course needed in welding as i didnt want a n et light on the arse any more

The orange T5 looks well tasty. That engine you pulled looks covered in shit. Keep us updated.

lookin real good Bitsa ... now need to see more pics of the scoot !!! keep it comin!

then using petroleum jelly [cheapsexlube] for masking i sprayed it white n rubbed off the sexlube revealing the black



wanted to reuse the spoiler off me bitza but they look shit on full frames as theyre too narrow



so i cut it in half n made it fit

then i cleared it with matt



but wasnt right so did it with gloss clear

now for the theme ..... tried to get some stencils cut but none of the local print shops said they could do em so fuckit i did me own .... never done leafing so gave it a go n as its a rough looking scoot i didnt care too much about the outcome ... the low tack sticker was a quid



leaf kit cost 8quid so it was a no brainer



then to outline ..... i dont have a steady hand ...





i cleared it before any of this so i could rub it off if it didnt work i liked so i continued ......

Looks to me that you have a steady hand. You're very lucky to have such an understanding boss that's all i can say.

hes not that understanding .... he knows hes got me as i cant leave till ive done it as i have nowhere to do it at home .... went for an interview tother week but there was no way i could build scoots there

anyhoo bought a screen off ebay for 20quid but it wasnt gonna work without some serious cutting ...



the bottom hit the frame n it wasnt really round when id trimmed the inside so i had another plan

anyone know where i can find a pair of gordons driver type mirrors cheap? alway wanted to watch me elbows while i ride .... n i think they might look ok on the screen

I only get to fuck off online at my job. I wish I could bring a project with me.

Nice theme and finish

Bitza been busy... looks great

great build and write-up - love the masking techniques

Bad arse/ass. Love it.

Very emblematic of today's youth. Nice job. Better give your boss a few pints.

Aces, Love it!

How did I miss this? Stellar, Mr Bitz! My favorite so far of all 3 I've seen that you made w/ your own hands. Shows the best of what YOU do and styled the way I like most. I'll say it, you're a bones up scoot builder and artiste to boot.

nice work bittza


i know you told me the tail light idea a few years ago, now its public a can say its tidy ,clean and as pommies say,, "looks the business"

Yep it's a winner. Looks tops and a fine tribute.

cheerz peeps. ..... wish I was the yoof. .... me boss don't care as he's in the office n everyone else has gone home.... that's why it took me so long to get here on 3hrs a week.
tunnels are so last season.. need a funky reflector n maybe a reg light for mot as the rear lights only light

Nice one Bitza. The gold leaf is class.

Wow - i really love it ! nice work man - I am sure you will have a blast scootin around on that . Really looks Murderous!!! Now needs a screaming kit to boot.

Seriously thought you were gonna go with the cowhide look for a minute there mate

Hope you're well, Bitza!...and that goes for the rest of you crazy kids too

thanx it's copper n cost slightly more than gold 😕......... it's got a 152 n it was very reliable touchy wood ..... It was built on a budget spent about 150 on it so far. ..

anyone uk got a sports seat that'll suit the orange bastard?

nearly did but kept focused 😂😂

Looks amazing Bitz!

Love that Jim

You're talented Blitza, that T5 is cool as hell!

Very well done, sir.

I admit to hearing "Hello, we're Motorhead, and we play rock and roll" when I see this scoot. 8)

if you know their motto youll get why i did this .....


"no sleep till bedtime"?

thanx for the comments peeps .....
remember when i joined here n a certain someone said i dint have a clue bout scoots n got others to do em for me then take the cred ..... even though i had pix of it at work

You could have X10 LOB but no point on a scoot though.

love that plate n good on the guy for standing his ground .... love the answer "tell em to P155 OFF"
