I know we have had the wooden vespa put on and thrown off and locked several times. But someone in the local scooter club just sent me a 19 frame (2.1MB) sequence of the construction of the wooden Vespa. I don't think we have had these before, and I don't know how to put them on. They are quite remarkable. Would someone who knows how to manipulate them PM me and I will do an email forward to you and you can put them up.


[On the other hand if these have been on before, never mind.]

Yeah, those are the ones. Have they been on MV before? I know there has been a lot of chatter when a newbie puts up the picture of the scoot, but I had never seen the assembly sequence and I found it interesting.

So I guess never mind, we're good.

I don't know if they've been on MV before but they've been on the BBS and on the NYSC Forum (which is where I pulled the links/pics from):

Shouldn't these postings be placed in the "Bodge" thread? Clown emoticon

(That is in the "Not so modern" area of the forum.)

Yeah, that's kind of the point. It really is art.

If you parked it on City Dock some fool would drop a Harley on it.
