Vespa repairs complete
Back on the road. Cold ride home this evening. Scooter purrs quietly and smooth as butter with a new clutch and drive assembly. The Heidenau K61 tires are sweet.
Time for a long ride…

But then we view the “beausage” (beautiful usage-from the bicycle lexicon) and the love resurfaces as the memory of our relationship puts an arm around our shoulder and says “remember the time….”

Love your blog, thanks for the share.

What happened to your top box on the back of your Vespa?
I always take it off when I put the scooter in for service. There are lots of little odds and ends that I want to have access to. The GIVI case snaps off with the push of a button.
