NPC: New Project..., ...anyone know Scooters? Options

So the 914 was such a success, I decided to dig into something else...

This one is a LOT less motor work, a LOT less body work...and about 1/8 as big.

Just picked it up on Friday.

1973 Vespa 150 Speed Veloce
2480 original miles
New Tires
Rebuilt motor
VERY solid body!

I'd told the local vespa shop if they found anything interesting to give me a call. I got the call on Monday, and the story is that it was a friend of his neighbors that had it in a barn. Larry (mechanic) went to look at it and it'd been sitting for 25+ years, so he spent last week re-building the motor, putting new tires on it, and rebuilding all the breaks. I got the call on Friday that it was all set, and I picked it up an hour later.

I'm going to spend the rest of the summer learning to ride, and then I'll strip it, and re-build it this winter. I'm SURE I'll dump it at least once before the winter, so I may as well wait till AFTER that to restore the thing.
