OK you might have noticed my absence lately posting and stuff... well here is why.

I say we all chip in $5 and buy phil a harley. That way when he's riding around town he'll know people are laughing at him, not his bike.

Well you miss the whole point of Scooters. Scooters are dorky and we like it that way. Harleys are way to much in vogue now. Prolly "too cool" if you ask me. Scooterists want to be dorky. They covet it.

1956 eh? Dam he is old!!! That's the year I was BORN! Well tell him I am afraid of the liabliliy for his old tired behind to be on a Scooter! That should get him ranting!!!

Not me! I not gonna find out if it will do it. 40 MPH starts scaring me. I had this one up to 50 while I was test riding it but then backed off right away.

when i was 15/16 i had a 50cc honda scooter that topped out at 40 downhill and it was plenty for a young punk to get in over his head. i can only imagine some old longhair going 60 on a scooter. that fills me with the giggles.

Well someday you just might get to SEE it!

I spent today water sanding and filling little bumps and sanding some more. My Father in law is mixing the paint match today as well. We might get this thing shot tomorrow or the next day. Going with several coats of color and several coats of clear coat.

Its going to be Silver Grey with Black accents. It will take me a full day to put it all back together after its painted. I am hopeing to have it all ready to get on the road by the weekend if that all gets done and my new seat comes in. For some reason that has not shipped yet and was supposed to ship last Friday. I getting a bit concerned about that...

There is a used lawnmower place near me that has an old orange Vespa with a sidecar. I keep going in there every once in a while, but I haven't had the guts to ask how much they want for it.

If it's still there when I go in again, I will ask... I swear I will!

[cphilip]

Side cars a cool! I want one!!!! sure! Ask em what they think its worth.

[DiRTyBuNNy]

you could always buy one of the new Vespa's..(and btw, are you getting your parts through scooterworks.com, if not you may want to check them out)

[cphilip]

Yea but who can afford one! The new ET4 is like 5 grand (I think that picture you linked is the 50cc ET2 and its 3 grand, looks the same though). And the looks are not so retro at all. And I already have a 150 cc 4 stroke. I'd buy the Bajaj (well I did) or a Stella before I spent that kind of money on about the same thing. Them Italians do not work cheap anymore.

No I getting my stuff from Scomo. They out of Virgina so the shipping is cheaper (and should be quicker) to me. I do however have some Scooterworks decal!

I did buy some stuff from POC in Cleveland too. He is good to deal with and he beats Scooterworks prices if he can.

[bornl33t]

You ARE going to put flames on that baby RIGHT?

[cphilip]

LOL... noooo... was not planning on it!

Funny thing is the guy I bought it from gave me a brand new half helmet to go with it and guess what it had on it! FLAMES!!!!.

I gave it to Fatman.

[bornl33t]

WHAT? I WANT IT!!!! FLAMES are MY buisness!!

in more ways then one j/k
