New Scooter Guild Member!


If ever we needed proof that our love of scooters is infectious, it has now transmitted across state lines. Specifically, to Rhode Island, where our dear friend, former Scrantonite and girl with a moped, Sarah, has gotten her hands on a beautiful 1980 Vespa 50 Special 50 (49.77)cc -kick start (not electric start).

Here's some info on the new scoot from Sarah herself:
"I plan to replace the battery, lubricate the cables, clean the carb. I don't know if I will fix it up all special. I might get some of that strawberry oil for the gas.
It's dented all ready! Oh well. The front right panel got dented in because it fell over off the kick stand. Guess it was bound to happen some time."

On behalf of all of us, welcome to the Guild Sarah!

This scooter looks like something a real cool rural uncle might own. The one that would also have a Zappa Crappa poster and a gun and limitless supply of m-80s.

When I grow up, I'm getting a metal scooter!
