Modern Vespa

them cosa clutches can be a serious pain in the tits. I spent about 2 days of non stop work with 5 rebuild kits trying to get the thing to work without dragging. ended up just using an old mk1 clutch and it worked first time

...woke up cold in Stockholm and realized that by the time I get home it will be too cold to ride in Kansas. Sigh.... At least I can start the next project...

Speaking of... if anybody is near Kansas hurting for a project bike, I have more than I can handle in the next decade...

there is some serious riding in my immediate future.

Today i........gave away a 84 P200 scooter.

I feel absolutely great about it. Local bloke that just never manages to get a break. Today was his day.

Cheers

Shit, I wish I lived near ya!

Cheers JimH!
And here's to the bloke who got the P!

Today I rode my wife's P200 and did not bust my ass like Regis Philbin.

Walked past the Honda and Harley in the garage (yet again!) and finally washed the P200E I bought Labor Day weekend.

got up with the full intention of doing some work on the bitza .... looked outside as i cleaned me teeth ..... fog.. n thick stuff .... put fire on n made a pot of coffee instead n watched idiot abroad

oul pilko is some man. class show. I finished fine tuning my jetting. did a quick 15miles on the motorway at 70 just to be sure. didn't seize up at that so I think im good to go

hahaha .... like that logic its just like mine 'its working well so it must be right' usually becomes 'its working well it must be ready to go bang' ..... hasnt done so far

Stephen, you crazy monkey!

There must be something in all that Mexican cane sugar your drinking.

Still a man's got to do, what a man's got to do.

I'll land in my feet. Since my first job at age 15, I've never been without a job fir more than a week. Each job was better than the one before. I have confidence my record will hold out.

good luck n enjoy ya riding time while ya have a little free time

raising my not so normal smallie suspension up about 3cm in anticipate for the up coming flood

kinna weird if i may said

have a nice day and cheer mate

ps: Astro, wish u all the best in finding a new job mate

took the bajaj frame to an expert for his opinion and quote

picked up some px leggy trim, looked at the px then put it down again



measuring locks now

went home trough flooding road

wet season allready have a gudangguram for me



spelt that wrong sorry

rode home from work .. after first corner i noticed the front indicators wernt working n the back uns stayed on ...... had a fiddle with em ... nothing changed so thought fuck it ill sort em when i get home .... last corner they started to work again .... bloody scooters dont ya just hate em

...learned there are people spending a lot of good riding time changing cables.

today I took rubber floor mats off my PK, sprayed them with Silicon, I cleaned the surface above and managed to reattach the right mat only! I couldn't fit the left one...

put new fuel tap in (no more drip), put extension nut on rear shock (dropped top nut into frame (must have gone all the way to the front or just disappeared... doh!) and put a new center stand on (f'in spring was a stong bitch) 3 down about a dozen to go... just in time for winter... get it done now, ride in spring.

color sanded a few small areas on the orange project (see above) and prepped it for the final color coats tomorrow.

Today I wondered what projects adastra had.....and what part of Kansas we're talking about.

u mean gudang garam right, its a nice cigarate mate but u should try djisamsoe 234 its very suite in a wet and cold day and the smoke are similar with our 2 stroke

ps: if u really like gudang garam i can send it to you, i think sending cigarete isnt illegal right 8)

two more coats of paint on the project bike....

that reminds me,,, as i clean pubs i often find random money,,, ive been saving the rupiah coins to send you,,, but so far ive only found 1200 rupiah

Today I....Rode my Sears/Vespa to work, I was chased by two dogs (no leash laws in our rural County), parked my scoot in a Christmas Tree field, where I was counting trees into trailers for shipping, and had her admired and fondled by about 50 Mexican migrant workers.
On the way home I managed to slip in behind a Semi-truck to try to use him as an umbrella, (I have no windshield) and found myself speeding along at 55mph on less than full throttle. My first ever foray into slipstreaming, or draughting as the NASCAR fans say.

All the best,
Sir Paul.

that should do just find mate, u can bought 2 gudang garam cigarete with that amount.. i didnt told before but that cigarete were sold pieces here so dont need to buy a whole pack as u can just bough 1 or two that will do just fine to help u smoke for 30 minutes especially after a dinner

About 500 miles east!
What kinds? Gotta GS, an SS, a bluebadge smallie and an Li125 series 2. Something's gotta give...

fitted an indicator buzzer ...... now i shouldnt ride off with them flashing ...... might soon find out why people pull em off


ohh n held me new rack inplace .... looks sweet .... will be fitting it on saturday hopefully..... so youll have to wait for piccys

waisted time at empty office checking out portable dyno's... 1st I haven't won the lottery, 2nd I have nowhere to put it.. Nice to dream... some cool ones.

Actually rode, for the first time in about a month.

lowering back my not so normal smallie as last nite i almost take off like a airplane due to the heavly wind and rain

test ride to office and it suite just fine except the bumpy bump due to lower front shock, wish i have a front smallie drum so i can use the smallie fork as this px one were too stiff

put new leggy trim on the px200- found soaking it in hot water made it allot easier

and fixed the record player

pulled off simonini and washed it .... need to wash it again then vht it ready for winter .....

washed scoot then fitted rack .... need to find out where stand spring fits to the frame as i popped it off without thinking


jealous? :)

today I saw a guying filming me on his smart phone. he was grinning and giving me a thumbs up cos I was on the motorway with the throttle open and the needle on the speedo pointing back at me.

Is my birthday at a young 38, and am missing the classic not plastic rally cuz my head is stripped and can't seat the plug correctly..........blows!
