damn!!!! I've been wanting to do that with a vespa since before I had a bike. On;y thing holding me back was that the vespas even in less than perfect condition often run more than a bike

I've had this one since 1996, but it sat in my parent's backyard in colorado until last year. so I'm sorta lucky like that, I'm finding that restorable vespas are getting hard to come by.

I have a polini cylinder kit on this scoot, and I think once I get it to quit cracking spark plugs it should be good for 65mph

I was looking for a beat up one to restore but they were still above $2k for ones that didn't run and had 95+ % of the parts and that was 5 years ago
