Modern Vespa

If someone gets that I have allstate cowls

It's worth saving to turn into wall art...if that's your jam

unless you, or someone you know have one and you're looking for parts avoid.

the motor if it's salvageable it worth about that to somebody that needs one. the other bits might be worth that if you can move them.

the fork will swap with super/sprint/rally and is anti-dive so that's worth 150 and the rims are clunky but solid pieces so maybe you get it at 200 bones and flip the rest of the bits.

or you pick it up for an EV conversion...

Interesting bike there.
VBB choke vs this one.

1k on that, and 3k resto

The PA50II is $800-1k easily, if it's as described.
Most reliable moped ever made.

Rally for $4500, at least has been looked at by Motorsports. Yeah, has been redone and is missing details. Not a screaming deal but can be expensive to get into them, this looks like a decent starting point.

This one is getting close to DOD territory. 76 VBC so should be 3 port. Looks like it has some OG paint too. May have been wrecked ??? ... and frame and fork need better pictures to make sure they are straight, but if they are... could be a fun one for the 60 over 8's love.

$550 for an unseized P200 engine... body is toasted. I'd pop on it right now if I had a solid day to travel up and back. I'd rebuild and stick it in my VBA. Anyone local to Nashville want to earn a pick up/ short- term storage fee?

I'm in Nashville and would be happy to take care of it. Hit him up and I'm happy to go complete the transaction for you. Saves me from buying it myself and getting in trouble with the War Dept, too.

Apart from the front mudguard that's rusted, it looks OKish. Photos don't help but I don't think the frame is that bad...

Someone scoop that!!!

I can be all over it *for* someone, but if I bought another scoot right now, I might not survive long enough to ride it.

Made the offer, we'll see, thank you Chandlerman!!

It might be easier to just get the engine shipped and leave the frame behind.

I had longer commutes living in Chicago than the drive from here to Atlanta.

If it happens, we got this

Here is an ugly / ratrod candidate but the price might be right enough if you're close to PA!

This VBA engine looks pretty good. If you are local grab it

That might be a P motor? Flywheel looks like it…
(I'm on phone so grain of salt and all that)

not a P motor, no injector casting, or exhaust bolt that goes all the way through the swing arm. does have a P exhaust on it, for reduced ground clearance.

Looks like a single post rear brake, so likely is actually a VBA.

Thanks for the correction & ID

10 lashes with a well used clutch cable, 20pages of vespa technica and a optometrist appointment for me

That sounds kinda fun

I'd love to pick that up. It's a bit of a haul from Chico with the sorry ass weather though.

It's some kind of Vespa engine. Weird carb manifold and the old-style clutch cover with the word Piaggio instead of the logo.

For $60, it's definitely worth it, if it will ever get used.

Somehow it has three photos from angles that tell you nothing about it.

This one is a super deal.

It looks fine! Just kind of needs some love. Has surface rust, but even the panels are pretty straight

looks like an old sploot-rs rotary manifold. malossi made them as well, but much nicer fit & finish.

if that was down the street I'd throw some Jacksons on it.

Tito and Jermaine 2 up?

now you talkin'! let's get funky with it!

I just shot the owner a message to see if it's available and he's willing to sell it to me since I'm local.

If so, It'll probably need another new home sooner than later, depending on how quickly my wife notices

1- BBQ cover and park it outside on the deck. should buy you some time
2- claim you're just holding it for a friend till they pick it up (I'll take the fall and corroborate the alibi)
3- play the: oh? that? I've always had that, it's been here forever! card

4. Shoes

5. Money… lotsa money.

when a pile of parts landed on the porch the other day I narrowly escaped dutch with some soyrizo tacos and a foot rub.

I knew more parcels were on the way, so I made sure to get some Gansitos just to fortify my position.

but I fully expect the bill to come due and pay up with a trip to Blick...

Hahahahaha.
All of it.
All y'all.

Just show her my latest receipt 😀

And mine!

because of you two kajiit might have to switch to gold doubloons, beef coin or barter system only!

the super secret scooter slush fund must be protected at any cost!

I stand corrected, I offered near nothing and you humbly accepted something that barely keeps the lights on!

Ps i like barter system - you want assembled VBB?

I have px125 available immediately if you need slush fund

#1 won't work because we don't have a grill, so I might be asked to cook something on it if she noticed.

#2 is the safe option here and, on some level, would even be the truth...eventually.

And I already used #3 with the GL after my buddy's son outed me to the War Dept.

that's funny, stick one in the shed, she'll find it in a year or so.

This guy is going to scrap this bike. I offered him 500 when it was 1200+

He may go even lower.
