got one
After a short deliberation over a 1978 Vespa 150 VBC I had previously viewed in the northern SA town of Kapunda, I figured what the heck, ill go and get it. This move, seen and voiced by many as stupidity in the highest, was prompted in part by riding an overpriced old school 50cc, but was really due to the destructive mix of boredom and a lack of alternatives.
On the way back from Kapunda, new baby in tow, I made a call to my bro, it went something like this. "So um, do you want to work on the scooter? needs more work than I thought"...... "Ahh awlright, I knew this would happen!". Thus, the scoot was delivered straight to my brother's operating table. He had the tools, skills, and a little more time than I to give it a proper rebirth.
Overall, I paid the chap too much, received too little, but hey, it had a trapezoid headset and it was red!

Was expecting this one....nice to see the commodore was given a cameo. :-)
It looks decidedly "racy" and "kinky" with all that bondage stuff on the trailer.....
Black would be a better colour for it (Gothic look) and, unlike cars, it won't increase the interior temperature on a hot day - unless you've got it running in your living room with the A/c turned off!
