A new adventure!

 

Well after some ups and downs I now have the title for my 1965 Vespa 180 Super Sport!!!!!!!! (The exclamation points are a small indication of my excitement) I even have the original 180cc engine in my trunk (right now it has a new - though not as powerful - engine in it). I have yet to get it licensed or even get a helmet, but all in good time. The woman who sold this to me was extremely kind and went out of her way to help me get this scooter - even by lowering her asking price and giving me first grabs. Since I cant drive it yet, it's still at the shop, but I'll be sure to get some pictures up when I get it home. So sweeeeeet!

What could happen next?

I'm THIS close to buying a 60's era Vespa 180 Super Sport. The one I found needs some work, but the price is right and Super Sports are super rare. It has some major drawbacks (its missing the original engine and the original cowels), but those things put it in my price range. It has a new engine in it, replacement cowels and really just needs a new paint job (though, those are pricey). Im banking on the paint job being a theft-deterrant so it doesnt bother me too much right now. Tune in tomorrow to see if I pulled the trigger (or swung the bat, depending on how much you know about anime references).
