..or rather "Rides" On FB people are putting up 7 scooters in 7 days. Now that kind of thing with other shit usually annoys me but this made me look at pics of my rides so I have dug out some pics of smallframes that I have mostly built over the last few years but the odd one that has been through my hands..perhaps we could all put a few up and have a bit of a laugh..play along if you want to. Here's the first from me; 1. V100 Built and sold (with a et3 motor). Skoda blue. i first did it with a case reed Autisa and it flew. 14 ftlb torque against 10bhp

My second, just Coz its my old faithful 2. 1976 Primavera 125 with Quattrini M1Lr motor. Originally built around 2008 with a standard engine. I bought it off a lad who had it in his front garden. The engine internals exposed to the elements.

Armandos is 30 this year. Was done on a brand new P200 and left the shop on 06-06-1986. Haven't used it for about 5 years. Need to dig it out in time for it's birthday. Would be one of the last bikes I would sell as I don't know where I would get another one from. That and SS90 were the only bikes mentioned in my divorce...she said I could keep the rest...I kept them all!!!

Strangely enough there was one on eBay a couple of weeks ago , may still be on there now. Think it was in Sheffield if memory serves correct , can't remember exactly how much , think it was £3000-3500

That and SS90 were the only bikes mentioned in my divorce Surprised the Rotax and P TS1 E weren't mentioned, they must've cost the guts of the rest of them put together.

I like skoda blue and Armandos have always been a guilty pleasure. They should've made a smally version, always liked the swirl. Ever since I saw one at Scarborough around 1980ish.

thats a thought ,now an again,when drunk ,i propose marriage to the management , havent got her drunk enuff to agree yet, but a scooter pre-nup sounds a good idea .god knows how drunk i'll have to get her to get a signature tho, she's probably banking on my good behaviour with scoots as hostages .the problem is ,she's right . bugger.

I always fit cosa rims to the rear of my P Ranges but have been having difficulty in finding decent genuine ones. Picked this Cosa 200 up on ebay about 10 years ago for £56 just to use wheel rims, it came with a spare as well. Got it home and running within the hour. Tis to good to scrap. Have ended up buying all the bits needed to put it back on road in reasonable condition...one day

thats a bit beaten up eh,all there tho, the early mk1 t5's ,well the survivors, are starting to really rise in value now .all the guys wanting some early 80's style they couldnt afford back in the day .H
