Modern Vespa

some ding-dong knocked the studs out of these rims, don't ask. i have no clue why somebody would do that. anyway, i figured they'd be great to make hub holders out of. so if you want one, hit me up and i'll shoot it off to you, just cover the shipping. they fit in a flat rate box. i have five of them.

What's a hub holder? I was thinking if I could find a used hub and wheel cheap enough I could mount it on the wall as a hose reel. Just have to add a handle to crank it with.

you take half a rim and weld some box tube onto it so that you can torque your axle nut down properly.

i have a hub with a missing stud and can piece together a wheel... if you want to talk, shoot me a message. anything you buy from harbor freight will probably be cheaper and work better, but hey if you want to buy my parts i'm not stopping you. less for me to throw out!

Can I get one in my pile??

yes!

sorry i totally forgot to get back to you! i broke my arm so i've been a limp dick for the past few weeks. i'll be in the shop tomorrow and it's somewhat cleaned up so i can unwrap that beast and get some beauty shots and add to that pile for ya!

and! if i have some tube kicking around here i'll weld one up for ya and paint it up all custom!

Got it, good idea.

If I made a hose reel, it would be for the fun of it, and to make people ask questions. Maybe put a Vespa sticker on it, "Vintage Vespa" hose reel.

You da man, Greasy. Mend up!!!!

you want vespa rims? i got you covered there, amigo. funky, nasty, bent, SEA bullshit, and good used ones too! shit, you want a hub and a whitewall to go with that? i got you.

Khajiit house of wares is here to peddle finest of used parts to our elite clientele!

Maybe add a spare 8" rim to the pile too, I've got a Vespa 10" hub holder. I had a Lammy one before I sold all those tools . I've got to get out on that Primmy soon, I raised the needle 1/2 clip but never checked it. It was lean in the middle a bit. I will include some supplies for the cp21.

Khajiit,
I'll send you a PM.

Is there a story to tell? About the arm that is. To be clear.

Hope you're mending well.

i got you man. let's make something happen.

eh it was a non-event, really. but it turned into a bite of a cat shit sandwich

i work heavy diesel when i'm not playing scooters. anyway, i was paired up with a green horn who didn't secure a snatch block correctly and the pull chain jumped off, whipped back and the hook end lit me up.

i was bundled up, which probably saved me from real damage. but i wound up with a hairline fracture and a super ugly bruise. funny part is that i worked all week "gritting it out" until the pain and the bruise were still persistent two weeks later. an x-ray and some help from my doctor friend got me sorted. i've got most of my mobility back, but working on the strength returning.

so i'll be back up on the weather vane crowing soon!

in the mean time, i've just been low impact and selling off parts and such
