Hey there...

I've been lurking for a while and thought I'd say hello. I bought a 1978 50 Special at the beginning of summer. It's been rekitted with a bigger engine and rides like a dream, although it's not going to win any beauty pageants. I'm a shorty, so I love the smallframes.

I rode an old P200 back in college, well, actually it was the boyfriend's scoot back then. I guess I got over the boyfriend but never got over the Vespa.

Thanks for all the great info I've received this summer. Will post some pics soon.
