OK! If there's interest, I'm starting another one next year so I can do a resto thread here :)

Have you every thought of doing a old Lambretta or Vespa? Over here restored older models go for some serious money.  I know a retired Machinist that restores old Cushman scooter's for a hobby.

I still have my project People 250S that I have not had time to mess with.
In parts 200S and Grand Vista and my motorcycles 2 CS BMW'S and one GS BMW.

Sold-32 Kymco scooters of various sizes this summer.

They're really not my thing and I'd never have the cash to get one in the first place. I am a sucker for 80's jap scooters though.

I was offered a Vespa Cosa in a swap some years ago; I regret not taking it.
