Title: Scooter project
Post by: Razor on November 12, 2011, 05:56 PM

Ok, here is my latest fad (that i will go absolutely over the top on and probably lose interest in less than a years time ???)

I am looking for an oldish Vepsa 125, px, gt, lml of about 10 - 15 yrs old.  Condition not too important but it needs to be a runner.  Basically, I'm going to buy an Haynes manual and strip it down and rebuild it.

My question, has any members embarked on a similar project, and what kind of money should I be expecting to lay out.

I'm not too sure as of yet, but I wouldn't mind relicating Stings Vespa from The Who, Film Quadrophenia

Which cassette did you have in : scarifier, or cylinder blades (or was it the hay-fed model) ?

OMG : Don't they know that the sole purpose of a powered mower is to create parallel stripes of such unsurpassed accuracy and beauty that neighbours up to a quarter of a mile away are driven to near-suicide ?

If nothing else, that video has convinced me to leave it to the experts ;)
