an yes i did just use the "M" word . IMG-20180208-00329 by henri briggs, on Flickr .it ticked all my boxes , it was weird ,it was cheap, it was local ,and of course it was broken . plan is ,swap 24/24 carb for a 24phbl/s as ive got one an its no good on a smallie ,pilot/air screws on wrong side ,done .swap scorpion left hander for mallosi right hander ,scorpions to low an i'd rather not cut n re-weld it,remove ammo box an fit a spare wheel .swap bars for drops ,an sort out steering stops as bars touch tank on full left lock , an considering if i can nab a cheap set of lammy forks ,lengthening an raking them an fitting . its a mallosi 166 , so should shift all right .

artidaz , it was a impulse buy for the above stated reasons , local,cheap,weird,broken . so not a keeper ,been toying with idea of building another lamb-chop an never owned/built/ridden a vespbretta ,so another 1 ticked off the bucket list .i'll sort a few problems an pass it on for somebody else who's more "that way inclined" . yes tzsteve ,almost same mind myself but couldnt resist doing a bit different ,not the best of both worlds but not worst either , almost named it "marmite" rather than the jasper carrot reference i plumped for . in my defence it was "just for giggles" .

Love it H. I’ve always fancied building a nice Vespa chop. How does she ride?
