I'd want that bike just to have a legit case-of-beer glovebox. Combine it with a rear rack and it'll carry a full week's groceries.

Oh why-oh-why did they have to make the more recent models so hideous instead of those classic lines...
Love the big compartments as well on my -95 Chetak 125. Bought in in 2019 and waited in line for it's turn until I got it running in fall 2021 and registered in the beginning of 2022. ![]() ![]() Paid like 300 for it. Engine was basket case along the scoot and missing only the cylinder and rear wheel hub.

What's behind the plastic horncast? Does it cover the old style horn?
The 2000s ones were much more PX style, but this one looks like a Sprint with some minor changes. The choice to stamp the fender detail three times is interesting. ![]() |

There is just a horn hanging on the horncast. It would be too easy if there were an old style horncowl. I've thought about taking the ugly cast off and refitting it with classic style horn cowl.
Basically it's really a Sprint with Indian twist. Just enough to call it their own vehicle and get around the license manufacturing deal with Piaggio |

You could do one of these things.
Yep. Bajaj just made minor changes and kept the metal stamping and parts almost identical and interchangeable. There's something charming about the Bajaj, though. You could definitely convert it back into a Sprint. Here's a blog post where someone did that. https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/motorbikes/222969-resto-modification-96-bajaj-classic-into-caf-racer-styled-scooter.html ![]() |

The mid 80's PGO I had years ago had the same horn cast and signal lights but was otherwise almost identical to the P series. They were made in Taiwan.

My foot now hurts like a son of a gun even more than it did before I left for the trip. I did bring a mini freezer with me on the trip, so I was swapping out ice packs on my foot every hour while driving. That was the absolute only saving grace for me. My sister took a quick pic while I was sleeping. I was pretty darn comfortable (and tired) so it took me about 1 minute before I was out. A half cup of a medium sized coffee and one energy drink kept me powered the whole trip! ![]()

I suppose we can give you a pass. Primarily because it's a Stella. But next time we expect you on it pronto.

I also did a shorter road trip (1000 mile round trip) about 3 weeks ago to Idaho buy dirtbike. It was a quick there and back with an uncomfortable 3 hour nap (if you could even call it a nap). I came home with KTM 990 Adventure bike AND a case of covid. I guess it was some sort of a twofer deal. Maybe I caught it from a public toilet seat? Two things for sure, I have no idea how many KTM dirtbikes are in my shop, and I have no idea how many Vespa/Lammys are in my shop. Luckily (unluckily?) I have a very large shop. Check out my atrophied leg! Even though I was in a decent amount of pain in the picture I faked a smile. ![]() ![]()
