project?

[markymark]

hello again.
first off lemme say sorry for dipping in and out of this forum with different questions...
so im definatly looking to be getting my first scooter hopefully next year when i move house, if not, year after.
now recently ive learnt it turns out i could have a certain type of epilepsy, which is pretty upsetting even though its a very mild form but the law doesnt differenciate so it could mean waiting up to 12 months before being able to drive...
so i been thinking if after test results i cant ride for that amount and im ready to buy, would buying a scoot to 'do up' be a terrible idea for me? im new to any type of mechanics but i reckon my dad would help he's got experience with cars. would it be too much of a task? any hints, tips?

cheers, again sorry for not being very active. oneday i will be riding and contributing i swear! haha!

Hello mate, I think only you will know if you and your Dad are able to do up an old scooter,but i would suspect that if your old fella has experience with cars then a scooter should be relatively simple. There are lots of companies who can supply most parts (have a flick through Scootering magazine) and there are plenty of people on this forum who are willing to give good advice should you need it.
My advice to you would be that if you fancy having a go, and you've got the will to do it, then do it. The rewards will be worth it in the end.

Best of luck and looking forward to seeing your scoot in the readers scooter section.

Sorry to hear about the epilepsy mate, my dad and sister are so afflicted also, bummer.
'Doing up a scooter' is quite a learning curve but ultimately very rewarding and great fun. If you don't actually get to ride it at least you will be able to see it ridden. Get your dad to get a license, at least you can go on the back.
ps, my dad was stopped driving wagons, but was allowed to drive ambulances! wierd.
