Our little club is having an End of year/Christmas Party on the 17th December at Kennys Bar, on North Walls in Stafford. We have lined up the brilliant tribute band - The Jam'd - and given a DJ mate of ours a tracklist of classic bangers. If you are in the area and want to come along, all are welcome.

We really enjoyed the weekend in Mablethorpe! There were some good bands, great company and it stayed dry for the ride there and back.. Bonus! What the hell was all that bass about in the bar? I think the DJ has watched far too much Spinal Tap and decided to buy an Amp with a bass level of 11! The vibration kept the beer lively )

The universal left handed right turn! Problem with this is other drivers/riders and pedestrians might think you are just waving at a friend!

Pulled a late one last night so it could be finished for a ride to Bloxwich today, and Llangollen tomorrow. Its not 100% done yet buts its close, and its on the road again. We had a few issues with the braided hoses, they are a bugger to keep in place, I might replace them for silicone if any more issues arise with them. Happy with the rebuild, the new radiator and housing looks the part, I might get it painted yet, the jury is out.

Ha, no.. the only thing I can draw is that house with a x in it without taking my pen off the paper.. and the Everton crest, quite badly!
I handed over some stills from the film, I did a few impersonations on how I wanted it to look, then handed the frame to Sam Hubbard from Airbrush Perfections. To say Im over the moon with what he's done is a massive understatement.
Its getting baked tonight, then a bit of a polish on the shiny parts tomorrow. There is going to be a subtle number 4 at the backend, polished into the matt. In keeping with the film. She chases him down a stairwell, and he always ends up back on floor 4. Which is an unlucky number in Thailand, so quite significant.
Im really looking forward to picking it up and getting the rebuild underway.

Im hoping to pick it up tomorrow and get the rebuild underway. Front Reserve tank More to follow.. BTW, Ive got the film on my web server if anyone wants it, let me know.

Thanks henri, its a great little scoot, we've tucked and hidden everything away as much as possible. The artwork on those pics are vinyl, not the best. Its currently being airbrushed in the same slightly subtle style.
Its a Quattrini setup on the main part, the casing, crank and cylinder is all quattrini. Mikuni TMX38 carb, and the gearing is DRT. The radiator is positioned horizontally underneath the floorboards.

Helo all, Im currently importing a 1965 Vespa VBB with a sidecar, and have hit a stumbling block on the v55/5 aplication. Part 9 asks for its wheelplan. So, with it being a sidecar, is it officially classed as a 2 wheel which I suspect it is, or is it 3 wheel. There is very little info on it and a call to the dvla didn't resolve the issue, they didnt know ether.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello all.. Danny here, I ride a standard mk1 T5 and rather lively 1978 primavera with the added twist of h2o and a few additional horses. Its currently in the paint shop getting airbrushed.. Shutter #4 (original Thai version).
Looking forward to a bit of banter..
KTF!
