Had a little break from the car.
Hello Chaps!
I've been away from here for a while as I needed a break from doing the car......so I did this instead....

Not quite finished but it's not exactly bike weather so not to worry. Back on with the car now 
Anyway, I hope everyone is ok and I look forward to catching up on everyones progress.

I remember how many of them used to throng the streets of britain - and every other country in the world - millions.
Horrible things, but they 'did exactly what it said on the tin' - served the commuter's purpose. Had one myself, and a Honda PC50
was my first motorised vehicle! - like this one
:pc50
You look to have done a cracking job at restoring the C90, Salad!
(well illustrated blog, too.)

Where I grew up the standard kit for one of these was a donkey jacket and a pigeon basket on the back!

I had a Chaly (50cc type moped thing from a similar era) and until it got nicked it was the funnest thing ever. And COMPLETELY indestructable. Even
survived being smashed by a taxi which was written off after smacking a bus. (more impressively I suppose is that I survived too!). Coppers helped me
bend the thing back into shape and sent me on my way. This wasn't in the UK as you may have guessed.

That looks great
Ive been tarting up a 21 year old vespa lately as im due to be a dad again & need some super cheap transport to get to work on, luckily work is
only 7 miles away but no real easy public transport route so 50cc of power it is !
I managed to keep the original paintwork which is in pretty good nick after a good polish but most bits that come off easily have been refurbed&
repainted.
 
Vespa finished front
 
Vespa finished
Maybe not the prettiest of vespa's but the last of the proper shaped smallframes.
