Just wanted to say hello from Hull, I’ve just become an owner of what I believe to be a 1961 vbb 150, (complete basket case). Which my partner has kindly described as my mid life crisis. I’ve been around bikes and my whole life and rebuilt a few however these have been sports bikes and street fighters but I’ve never rebuilt a scooter. So I’m totally in the dark with scooters. I have always admired Vespas and wanted to own one so hence the purchase, so I’ve joined to hopefully get some advice and guidance from the experts, as I go.
Mike

Hi Mike, I grew up in Hull and had several scooters there from 1983. Is Ron Storey still going?

Hi thanks all, and 3narf, no Ron’s is long gone most of the shops in hull have closed when it comes to Scooters and bikes. The odd ones that are left just sell new bikes mainly sports and Chinese crap. If anyone knows any different please let me know. To be fair I’m struggling to find anyone in hull or east Riding within the scooter scene or into Vespas. I went to a few scooter meets last year at local pubs and everyone’s riding Lambrettas ( am I ok to say that name on a Vespa site )🤐, I love Vespas and wanted to meet some people who rode and had experience of scoots, but I’ve been unable to find anyone locally. If you guys know of anyone or there’s anyone in the area get in touch for a chat 😁.

I went to school with him and he should know what's going on these days! He'll be able to advise you regarding your VBB, too. Tell him Andy Mc sent you! |
