I miss Seattle. I had the opportunity to move out there ten years ago and wish I'd taken it every time I see a picture like this.

Leaves were already starting to change in Chicago when I was up there last weekend. So long as I don't mind bundling up a little (and by Chicago standards, it's not bundling up at all), it's always riding season down here, though.

Can be found here: https://paj.otukset.fi/kuvat/Yamaha+BW200/
Bought unseen for pennies as a non-runner with info that something made a nasty sound and oil came out. Turned out to be a broken seeger clip which in turn allowed the kickstart mechanism to contact a running engine. Broke the clutch cover and also cracked the engine case. Also had a intermittent CDI problems so that was also replaced. After rebuild it kept smoking badly and the reason turned out to be wrong oil-rings supplied with brand new Wiseco piston. Got a replacement rings on warranty and now runs well and is mostly used in the winter. |

Went to the local car show today and decided to take the P200E. There was one other Vespa there. A local body shop owner has recreated a collection of all the significant vehicles from American Graffiti, with various degrees of accuracy, including Toad's Vespa.
