its a pk50xl2
build 1993

whats the last comparison of ugly?
this multiplicate by 2 ;-)

BUT

this model has the best clutch and flywheel (ignition)

i paid 200€ (or the new ipod touch with 8gb)
if i rob every parts and sell them ill get 500€

so... it was a great deal!


and then i bought a "new" exhaust
standard: cost 50€ https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/EC0XMte6TMR_H_242eJ9TfmjfS7vbSO8Jw3TW52yyio?feat=directlink

Hey Marco, Hope the last week or so has seen improvement in your health and you're back in good shape for the Christmas season.

It's amazing that you find these basket cases and either renew them or harvest valuable parts.
Your stockpile of finished V's is really cool.

Still looking for a Bei-Wagen around here.

today its screewing day - best day in the week
lets see what should we do today

So what's this special day you mentioned?

Servus,
Colin

LOL, you've definitely peaked my interest in Vespas especially the Beiwagen -- would be a great way to get back into biking again -- since leaving it 20 years ago. -- tho Margaret would not be happy about it.

Glad to hear you're excellent -- you have to be good for those screewingdays..

-- A Seacontainer from Marco with Beiwagen inside........That's an interesting thought. -- Bet that would cost many DM.

Have a great day off.

I know the feeling -- short on scratch -- and as I said, it won't sit well with Marg.
Nice to dream tho.
Maybe I can get one and hide it at Manny's or in with his 'Nasty98'.....

I too am very impressed with your ability to see a wrecked vespa but see potential in it or know what parts are still good and what years have the best parts. Very cool! Glad to hear about your health!

LOL, Marco has something for everyone sitting in his front yard:

I love the side-car model on the far left side. He calls it the 'Bei-Wagen'.

thats no problem but theirs no 300ccm classic model
only the gtr had such a big engine and the gtr startet building 200x

but what i can do is take a 200ccm engine from the px
change the crankshaft (58mm cam/distance) with a long-long crankshaft (62mm cam/distance) and youll have about 223ccm ;-)

an mount the engine in this model

Man that's a beauty. Would love to tool around in that baby. How much Marco?

"Group Buy" -- That sounds interesting.

 

[Riley P]

I don't know... I think I would rather have half off twice the price than twice the half off price. It sounds like a better deal.
