Modern Vespa

hows everyone doing lately, i know i am at wrong for not coming so often, i am sorry but i never once forget everyone and our passion..

as for me, i just lost my mom 2 weeks ago, its not please me as i just call her 30 minutes before she went to sleep forever, my dad told me my mom dont look to healty for 2 days, so i ask her, and she just said she's fine just a bit hard to breathe and will go see the doctor after sleeping for 2 hour but she never wake up, i was totally depress for a whole week till my nephew force me to go see a mental health doctor, he said i need to let it go and do thing she would like me to do (maybe he just want me to move)..

I think and i think, and suddenly i remember how my mom like to help me build a vespa back in 2010 (in case u forget, my previous red excel 150, and all the $10 paint vespa is our doing) i still remember how she was struggle to put the engine bolt to the frame while i hold the engine with my hands and feet, it was a great moment to remember and i can still see her smile when its all done..

my mom once said the last time she cry was when my grandmother die, after that she didnt cry to make her mom proud, so i try to do the same and decide to start build a vespa like how we use to do together, while i am doing that i do it the Bitsa ways by cutting a frame of a excel 150 (a T5 pole wannabe) and hope it will be as clean as vader since i just sandpaper the whole engine

it still hasnt got a red paint yet beside the white primer but i can already see the soul in it, and if u ask me how my feeling now, u can see my grin smile in ur heart

so please show me some appreciation and smile or even laugh hard on the vespa it was build from all the leftover parts i have

So sorry to hear the terrible news Ebeth

Oh ebeth - my heart goes out to you and your family.

Both my parents come visit me sometimes when I least expect it. And it's always something that was just a common thing, a saying, or a smile, and it catches my breath every time, and I tell them I love them and smile.

Much love to you ebeth. I know your mother is with you and is very proud she got to call you her son.

Ebeth, I'm sorry to hear about your loss.

I think it's fantastic that you choose to honor her through doing something you both shared as a prior experience. The hole in your heart now is big, but filling it with love and honor for her is the way to go.

Healing thoughts and positive vibes for you and your family.

So sorry Brother E. Take comfort knowing how much she loved you and how much joy it must have given her to help you with that engine bolt. Take care.

Good god man, take care.

So sorry for your loss. It will be hard for a while, but she will live on through your good memories with her.

So very sorry to hear this and do take comfort in knowing you had a strong bond and love for each other. You are saying goodbye in doing something that brings you comfort and would have put a smile on her face. Loss is a hard burden to bear but life is far too short and take some joy in the memories you will always have.

Ebeth - so sorry to hear.
Everyone here wishing you the best.

Ebeth,
I'm so sorry to hear the sad news about your mother. It seems that she lives on through you in your generosity, thoughtfulness and good humor. Sending best wishes your way and to your family.[/quote]

I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom, Ebeth😢. Her passing will forever be an ache in your heart, but I am happy to hear you are treasuring your precious memories and even building new ones with her loving spirit as inspiration. Your mom would be incredibly proud of your talent and ingenuity.

Please accept my sincerest condolences.

And I wanna see Mom's Vespa when it's painted bright shiny red, ok?❤️

So very sorry for your loss E.
Hang in there.

I am truly sorry Ebeth. Having both my parents gone, I can truly understand your mind and heart. It's a hard punch to whole being, body and soul. Recently, I have gone thru a bit of a setback, I will get thru it and you will get thru this. You still have family and many friends, take comfort in them and remember the good times with her. She will always be with you as you are in others all around you. Be at peace. brother.

Ebeth - WE are with you. Your Mother lives on thru you and all you do everyday. My heart is broken with you, and also happy to see how you are honoring her. Our Mothers are our link to the world around us. Glad to see you are putting your love for her into action. She knows

Condolences Ebeth, sorry for your loss.

Heartfelt condolences, and we are sending good vibes to you and your family brother E!

Many thanks you all, this is what make me love you all

About the vespa, i know it took me more times then i use to do (still need time to reorganize my mind and mood) but i almost finish it up, although my mom always said i should have a decent vespa like everyone else, well turn out it was never meant for me, sorry mom
This time i did try a decent paint unlike the one that i normally use but the frame itself isnt in a good condition so i still have a few mark from the hammering and welding so this is the best i can do for now will start putting all the part soon..

Until then heres the red vespa for you all, have a nice day and cheer

Love it. Good on ya! Looks fast!!!!

Its done.. I wish its fast but its a long shoot

The frame might be a excel 150 nor a T5 wannabe, but the engine is just a plain vbx standar (ps150), i just add a homemade bigbox, a homemade 12 inchi rims along with the homemade disc and an aftermarket caliper and yes a homemade paint work as well

I am happy as the red is stay red even at night with a city light lamp, normally it give a gradation to yellow nor orange, my mom will gonna like it, and i keep the Bitsa spirit by doing it away from the standae look and also the Vader cleanest from a vespa (nor i wish)

Have a nice weekend and hope u all like it as well and cheer

Ps: theres a bonous of my young neighbour pink vespa as well

Hey brother! It's been been awhile. I'm so sorry for your loss. She will always be with you.

Take care

Many thanks Brother J, yes i know, the fact is yesterday i took the bike for a spin to the gas station with my neighbour

After we add the fuel, who doesnt like to open the the gas a bit to speed thing up, for sure i do
After i hit the 3rd gears the bike was soft seize, pull it to the side of thw road prepare for the worst but it running again with a single kick, try to speed up again and it stall, kinna like my mom use to yell to me to ride slowly back when i was a teen

Ride the bike home slowly and open the carb, yup the fuel wasnt flow nicely, fix it while changing the gear selector to the latest efl version to have a smoother shifter, wrap things up until i notice my front homemade shock (smallie shock that is) were broken in half, like i said its like my mom is keeping me safe

Have a nice day to you all and cheer
