 | LISTED BELOW ARE SCOOTERS THAT I OWN / HAVE OWNED
|
 | Vespa Rally 200 Electronic - 1972 Owned
from 1980 - 1985. Bike was completely stripped re-welded in floor pan
section rebuilt and re-sprayed silver fitted with competition clutch plates
etc....and was never ridden by myself on the UK roads. It was sold to
young lady who had just passed her UK motorcycle test so I could buy a model
that could be legally ridden on the UK roads as a learner rider :-(.
|
 | Vespa PX125 EFL - 1985 Owned from
1986 - 1988. White PX125 EFL was standard up until the time it got
stolen from outside a house in Charlton London SE7 in 1988. It was
recovered and luckily there was no real damage apart from a broken Clutch
leaver and the horn casting had been ripped off and discarded to access the
steering lock and ignition wires.
|
 | After the recovery, the scoot was stripped and and the
engine was stove enameled blue and a chrome horn casting was fitted along
with a new horn. The engine was rebuilt adding a competition clutch
and a Polini 177 cc Cylinder and Barrel kit.
|
 | Vespa T5-125 Mk1 - 1988 This was the
scooter that I passed my UK test on in 1988. It was my first Brand new
scooter. A square head light hot off the production line mark one
T5. Still I believe one of the smoothest engines due it's porting and
linings that Piaggio have ever produced under the Vespa brand name.
The white PX125 EFL was used in part exchange against this along with a load
of finance :-(.
|
 | Vespa SS90 - 1971 Unfortunately no
pictures of this scoot that was purchased as a wreck for 10 pounds. It
was purchased in 1988 and was kept at a persons garage who decided to move
with out letting me know and was never seen again. It ended up in Matt
Black bit like a rat bike as at the time I was not of the financial means to
completely rebuild it to as new condition. No dummy tank on it as this
had been discarded years ago.
|
 | Vespa PK125 - 1986 Purchased in 1988.
Another unloved, un cared for scooter collected from Kickstart
Scooters in SE London. Paid three hundred pounds for it in an awful
state although it was solid and all in one piece it was mostly cosmetically uncared
for. This scooter underwent the Blue Stove Enameled engine treatment
along with some major updates including a proper carburetor. Small
frame Vespa's have never been well fitted with standard carburetors in my
honest opinion. The bike was re-sprayed light metal flake blue by
myself and a shadow type mural put onto either side bubble. This
scooter was sold in 1992 for 500 UK pounds. It went really well and
was a fun scoot, even though I have always preferred the larger frame Vespa's.
