Re-kindling Old Passions
If you are thinking that this is an entry about Mike's eternal love for me you will be sorely mistaken (that goes without saying). It is however about the other love of his life, scooters.
After a long time searching websites and ringing round every single ad, Mike finally has got his hands on a couple of vespas in need of some restoration and TLC. So armed with the Haynes Manuel on how to maintain and repair your scooter he has set to on the reb
uild of his beloved
machine. For any of you out there who have knowledge of the mechanics and workings of the noisy beasts, the first project is his Vespa 90, an import from Italy which I am told will be up and running in a couple of weeks.
The second, a Primavera which is looking a bit sorry for itself and needs to be completely rebuilt will be the longer of the two projects, but guanteed to be stunning when complete.
Mike is so excited and is eagerly waiting for completion date so he can once again experience that wind through your hair feeling of the open road and the familiar sound of the vespa engine as he manovers himself around the country roads on his way to work. A much better way to commute.
So here are a few pictures to illustrate the stages of work so far for those of you wishing to re-kindle the same passions.
There will of course be many more installments to this project to come.
