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.
