    Yes Brad. Thier scooter parts dealership goes by the name of ASC. I have done some business with those guys. In fact... it believe.... this scooter was brought in for the guy I bought it from (he recieved two T5's), with a load of imported scooters that Pirate arranged the import and buys in Italy on. I do know the guy I bought mine from (he is in Austin TX) used to do a lot of business with and actualy worked for Pirate/ASC at one time. So I think they were involved in getting this Scooter over from Italy.

          there is some guy on our scooter board putting a Snowmobile engine into a Lambretta scooter. Should be a screamer!

          Some crapy phone cam picts from today... as I put back bit for bit...

          Tail Lamp and bumper on.... spare on... other side cowl is done but I forgot to snap a picture of that today...

          The headset on this thing is Plastic so I had to use Bulldog adheasion promoter and then was able to use the Base Clear I used on the whole scooter. I also was lucky enough to have a new Shield for the headset. All looks new now.
