    Retro madness of another kind....

    This lovely beauty will be Scooting me around the Beach next week in style. I feel like I am in "Roman Holiday".

    Its a 2002 Bajaj "Legend". They are one of the previous makers of Vespa and this still pretty much is one. Same build stamp equipment from when they made them for Piaggio and all metal stuff. Exact copies because they ARE Vespas in most ways. This one has a few up to date changes like its a 4 stroke CDI but still a realy nice Scooter and well made. This one is a 150 CC. It is constant mesh four speed box all in the right grip. Clutch and gears shift in a lever squeeze and twist to shift pattern. I always wanted a Vespa or Lambretta but these are pretty much "that level" at a very reasonable price too. Here is a good link of the features and the spare tire storage and all. Scroll down and see. Bajaj Picts

    Cool thing about this one is there is a spare wheel and tire under that left cowling. And complete tool kit under the seat. Remarkably put together machine for sure. Very Italian but made in India. Bajaj is the largest Scooter manufacturer in the world! Here is a good article about Bajaj's Bajaj Scooters history

    This one is light green. I will be unloading it off the truck and cleaning it up and taking some realy good pictures of it tommorrow. Its been sitting in a dusty wharehouse for four months now. Has 11.8 miles on it.

    I on the otherhand will be completely stationary all next week. After I park the Jeep and unlod the family, I am going to the deck to stare at the ocean (OC, NJ). I will then sleep for 10 days straight!

    Congratulations on moving about during your vacation!

        Amen to that!

        Gotch beat though! Delivery all week! I am not moving from my lounger until my wife throws me out and sends me back to work!

        Still haven't figured life out! I work my buns off! We buy a beach house as an "Investment". I enjoy it 2 or 3 weeks a year and a few assorted weekends. My wife and kids stay there all summer. I think I am getting the raw end of this deal!


        Seriously though, that thing looks like wicked fun! I have only ridden scooters in the Carribean and they were cool. What is the area you will be riding in like? Too many cars or is it pretty safe?

          Well its completely residential but I suspect pretty busy it being the week of the Fourth. I gonna have to just take it out when its slow and stuff. I do have to make my way down to see what got drug up in the nets though. I enjoy that part of the day. Deciding what delicious sea creature to grill or fry!

              Well if it wasn't for the badging and the 4 stroke engine sound you can not tell this one from a Vespa. They used the same metal stamping molds and everything they used for Vespa's for many years.
