Modern Vespa

Hi Group,

Thanks for the add. I purchased this 1959 VNB in San Jose, CA about 7 years ago. I rode it from San Jose to where I was staying in Monterey. My wife trailed me and said I got up to 45 mph once during the long ride on the CA Freeway. To get it home to Florida, I disassembled it completely, with the intent to fully restore it, before shipping it in several boxes. I've painted it and have bought some of the parts needed, and have started the assembly. I have restored more than a dozen US Army jeeps in the past 12 years, and thought this would be a "cake walk". NO SO!!! Now I'm struggling trying to figure out where it all goes!!! Idealy, I would love to find someone in my area who knows these machines. Having no luck at that, I'll be posting my questions here and hoping for a clear path to get this little beast back on the road. R/ Vin

jess - NSM, I think

COLZike - welcome! One of the mods can move your post to the "Not So Modern" forum, where all us old shifties live and can help you out

Moved to NSM.

You can also flag the post instead of tagging me -- all of the moderators will then see it. As it happens, my internet has been down all morning, which is a good argument not to rely on me alone

Ah - I did not know that. I thought that flagging was for bad 'uns

There's an option for wrong forum in there somewhere.

It's been awhile. How are you getting along with this?
