Anyone looking for a Stella? Just grabbed this one here in Oregon! Its in great shape, has factory stickers still. Cowl wrapping is vinyl and will be removed. Looks like it just needs a battery, and a quick refresh to make a runner; and a good bath!
another one already? Addicted!!! Scooter emoticon Better check that the headlight doesn't pop out on its own, looks like it's missing headlight bezel...

A smallie and I'm guessing it's a 50 from the speedo? I tried to get more info and pics, but the seller hasn't been very forth coming. She just says to stop by even after I told her I'm 5 hours away. Whatever, it looks clean.

Ouch, my brain hurts. Silver P2s.... Most of the paint seems gone on the nearest silver one, but the one in the back seems almost shiny. Whatever, I'd take both if I were within range.

That was my buddy's bike. Sold in a few hours.

The backstory:
Quote:
There was an early food delivery service in town called plum good. They painted it and branded it and used it to deliver for a week before they realized that relying on a vintage scooter for work was a bad idea. So they took it to East side to get it worked on and it sat there for a year or so without getting worked on until willy bought it and we stuffed it in the back of his Honda
East Side Scooters was a Nashville scooter shop back many moons ago where many of my clubmates worked at one time or another.

That thing is borderline bodge. It's on at least its third color. OG white, red, now silver.

Yeah I was put off by the red showing thru among other things If it was close by, I would roll by, but it's a least 5 hours away, not enough there to make the ride. Thanks for your comment, C-man, much appreciated.

Yeah looks like a typical US market scooter- boy, man, septuagenarian bike.

A bit spendy IMHO but not terrible.

I was seeing more Ameri-bodge, plus the general condition of it. That thing has seen some hard miles between being repainted multiple times, scraped and dented, and the motor which seems to idle at about 3,000 RPM's. And the last time it was re-built, it was screws instead of rivets on the floor rails, etc.

We need a new term for that sort of thing, I guess.

Yeah man I get it and understand. That example might have been a bit rough, but no bodge territory; SEA-bodge or USA-bodge. I vote we coin a new term for something thats a rough rider! ROFL emoticon
