Modern Vespa

i am making a temporary tatto for my nephew

Very nice ebeth. Are you the cool uncle? I had one of them that used to ride around the fields in Ballymun with me on the back of his mx.

I screamed into work today in record time. -1c in Dublin, Is it just me or do scooters love the air being a bit frosty. Bastard was up on the back wheel every chance it got

for all my nephew i am indeed the cool uncle, i ride shifter vespa and aircooler vw so they should like me alot

about the bike same as your mine are always fond in the rain but kinna scare me a bit when i ride the not so normal smallie and today i just ride miss sunshine (77 sprint veloce) same wise as she sure does like to speed in the rain as well

have a nice day Jackson, cheer

nope its not you had the bastard at full power on me way home n was thinking the same thing ... just got in from work 915pm ........... had the front floating through the gear changes [its a t5 vader] ......... n bloody hell me farmers will be playin up in the morning ... the seat had frost on it

got cut up by 2 pakistani lads in a beemer as they tried to push me off the road nearing red lights so i booted the fuck out of his car when he wouldnt get out n face me ......... by fuck it goes in the cold ... its a shame it cant be replicated in the 'summer'

today I had my lid nicked off the seat of my scoot while I was unlocking it. I was quick enough with the chain to get it back but now im just waiting for the payback that will be dished out to my scooter while im in work and its outside. but thats life. cant let cunts walk on ya

thats just shit mate ...... its just as shitty over here ....... i walk into shops wi mine on n take it off in the doorway .............. get one of these alarm lock thingys

i fitted me new black grips n black fork link cover ..... then sorted out the flashing rear light ... everytime i went over a bump the lever wobbled n the brake light flashed .... a tight cable tie seems to have sorted it

took kickstart off the bastard n sprayed it satin black as it had some orange showing through .... its now drying over the fireplace

non-flammable I hope Kidda

ohh never thought of that .... seems ok but our lass isnt keen in the smell

febreze it, tell her to do it when she is polishing tomorrow...

...that was a joke by the way before I get bad karma from everyone else for being a male chauvenist. Im not really.

no need for stiring. this is a good thread

Was until certain members came along.. No names smarty pants!

today it was freezing cold but dry with no frost so I stuck a couple tshirts and a hoody under my bike jacket and rode into wicklow(the garden of Ireland) to thrash the living jesus out of the bike. It went like shit off a shovel

Take some pix next time. My family is from Sligo and Mayo. Going to spend a month there in the next couple of years.
Yeah my scoots love the cold..

I added my 12V Outlet. Made a suitable hole in the knee cover on the left hand side and fitted the outlet. Ran the wiring in the legshield void and under the footwell back to the battery.





Also connected up the turn signal sounder that I've been meaning to do for a while. Connected straight into the wiring for the indicators using Scotch Locks. Piece of piss and no more than 10mins to do. Most of that time was in dismantling the toolbox.

i put the kicker back on the scoot .... now i need to do the flywheel n selector box covers ...... so went for a ride ...... my god me fingers where cold but it ran like a treat ..................... fun fun fun

pictures when done bitza

That is an amazing picture...hope to have the GT200 up in Sonoma & Napa Valley... 8)

will do .. gonna do the forks n hubs when it warms up out there ......

felt like i was gonna freeze to death ridin to n from work today .... now searching for heard insoles n glove liners

just ordered some insoles n glove liners ... now need to buy 12 rechargeable batteries

today....
I saw this view and wished I had roads with views like this in my hood. Wow Weee!

thought i was gonna die this morning .... a chav in a lowered corsa thought he was gonna beat me and nip infront of me to go down a side street ..... i just thought 'shit im dead'n then he suddenly braked n turned back to his side of the road ........
if i still smoked id have killed 20 ............. looking into getting a camera i can mount to the scoot then when i do get killed they can sue the bell end

nothing like a brown trouser moment on the way to work to wake you up

ohhh its a lie me life dint flash before me eyes

Today I did a 78 mile round tripper to visit a friend who has a farm. She supplied me with 2 gallons of fresh milk, a pound of home-made butter and a dozen fresh multi-coloured eggs. She was so tickled that I travelled so far on steep curvy mountain roads that she gave me the butter for free.
I have to drive very carefully with all that swag, as I do not yet have a top-case or a rear rack. Inventive shopping bag placement and a dozen eggs stuck down the front of my jumper/sweater save the day.

All the best,
Sir Paul

P.S. We just had some snow too, so the roads were a bit slick in places and where they weren't slick they had "chat", from the snow ploughs, up the middle of each lane.
"Chat" is the local name for the salty rock put down by the snow plows to melt the snow. It is a small gravelly rock that makes the road a bit treacherous.

..gave the bike a good spraying (clean), although it was bloomin freezin and as I did it on the back patio, I have inherited an ice rink, and the chickens got sprayed.

The bike is nice and clean now though...

today i am still confuse why my bike seem like have a late fuel since last nite i assume its a clocked jet, the worse part is last nite it stop in a wrong place.. so so wrong place..



till this morning i am still upset as while i fix my bike in the side road people always gave comment "why dont u change ur vespa to the newer one in that dealer" grrrr... my ride is bulletpoof this thing (clogged jets) dont happen often, after that i kick my bike and open the throotle so they can hear my engine roaring and leave that place in a flash

have a nice ride everyone

i've spent the last few days trying to dry fit my VBB fender on my PKXL2 fork, with no luck. I decided I needed an easy "win" so I installed the steering column lock and made sure it worked.

whos pulled me post about nearly getting rammed off the road by the pakistani lads

It was the Pakistanis!!!

Got(4) NOS USA indicators. 2 new tires, 3 spark plugs, and a 80's top case. I just wanted the lights.. Under a C note..

get a phone call form a friend asking to buy my p series frame for his rat bike project.. seeing my p series frame and i said hell no if it gonna be a rat bike that will be me that doing it

kinna regret saying that as i still have 2 project goin on before i can touch the px

bullshit isnt it if you hadnt said the P word itd still be there id bet
