Weather should be great for some Nor' Eastie patio time.  UJ and I will be riding in, hope to see some other partners in crime.  Should still be happy hour with free quesadilla bar through 7:30

If I can break loose the rear wheel on this Vespa I'll be there.

Sorry, wish I had the right socket size.  I do have the rear stands if you need them.

what size was it again?  I bought several for the trailer.  I'll look when i'm done running appointments today and let you know.

breaking the rear wheel loose was not a metaphor, I picked up a Vespa yesterday that needs a little love

I shouldn't even have to be asking for pics.

Your new track bike?

It was this or the streetfighter.  The prospect of marriage is already taking its toll.

Oh yeah! Another scooter enthusiast! Give it up man, pics, info, (yr./model/miles etc.). You will love it once you get it up to speed. Congrats. Have to see about meeting in the middle and getting Giannis to ride his too!

Wow! Have you considered if someone sees you on it?!  What will you do then?

Tell me if you don't have the correct socket size.  I have a few oddball sizes laying around.

one thing about my woman..........she has never said no to any bike.  the Streetfighter is still on the horizon but probably not until end of year.  The scoot is going to be heavily modified for track use and racing up and down the tollway against the squids. 

actually, it's a 2001 Vespa, cobalt blue with about 1200 miles on it.  believe it or not it was had for $300 off some college kid who is moving home.  he laid it down and scraped up the side.  plan is to make the engine bigger (next week hopefully) and some nice vinyl stickers to cover up the road rash for now.  I want to make it a Ducati Red Vespacedici one day with all the graphics and crap, because WHY NOT?

I have and if they do I'll say my name is Ron and I live in Waco.

no way, not until this engine gets some work done and the skins show up to cover the road rash.  after that I'm game as this little scoot should move at or around 70 mph

I'm going to use my cruiser for rallies and tow the vespa on this http://roaddogtrailers.com/trailers_RallyWagon.asp for screwing around the campgrounds and festivities.
