Swapping up project

After disassembling the full front end to trace a non starting problem and not finding anything wrong, I was made aware that on scooters you need to have the brake pulled in to start it. Couple of new plastic fairings, new brake disc as the other was bent in the impact, and a good wash and clean and its turned out spot on. Oh and a new front wheel spindle as the old one looked like a bannana after getting crashed into. Wheel bearings were also replaced where I found a cracking bearing stockist around the corner that were 1/6 of the price of Honda bearings. Result Now to see what I can swap for it

Swapping up project

Picked up this wee scooter, for £300, with the plan of fixing it up and making my way to other more interesting bikes. Also dont let anyone tell you that you need a van to pick up bikes. My wee Ford Fiesta did fine once all the seats were removed.
