SOLD!

Well as things would have it I have sold the VL1T to another scooter enthusiast.  Sold it for the same price I paid to buy it $750.  I had hundreds of dollars of parts and lots of hours in to the project but I had hit a wall.  And since the scooter had been hanging from the wall I decided it was time to cut the cord and let the rebuild pass on to the next person.

So she is gone and hopefully I will see her at a rally in the future.

There was a comment on the blog where someone asked to see the SS180 which eventually was responsible for me throwing in the towel on the VL1T.

Below is a picture of the SS180 on the operating table.  She is getting a top end rebuild, new cables and possible front end rebuild as well.  Hopefully that will be enough to get her back on the road.

In the foreground you also see the 73 script Primavera 125 which I finished earlier this spring.  That was a great project from the ground up.  Total engine rebuild, new cables and wiring, front end rebuild, made her battery less  etc etc .  Runs like a charm with some minor clutch adjustments needed right now as she is dragging a bit.

You can also see my Allstate.  Another total ground up job.  Added a VNB fork to the front to get a suspension which included the dampener.  Great fun.

Have fun out there!!!

I need to get serious about this engine

As months roll by this project gets pushed further back.

Now I have a 73 Primavera I am overhauling and a new SS180.

I am making a post here to remind myself and promise anyone who may stop by in the future that this job will get done.  I just need to get her down from the rafters and start fitting that engine.  I have a ton of parts ready to rock and roll  and just purchased a new wiring harness.

Stick with it Ben!
