Davo

AWESOME!@!
im trying to get the woman into a small frame but she wants a T&G. shes scared to shift... im truely jealous of the NOT ONE, NOT TWO, BUT THREE lammys....wow! a scootin couple. PERFECT!

yeah the GS pictured is most definately VC or somewhere asain at one point. i have another silver 1960 GS in restoration that is getting the motor from the blue scoot. then in its place is going to be a 125 (kitted to 177) p125 motor. yes, its the infamous widemount swap. its a pain in the ***.

there are a few more (serveta, TV) that are in boxes.

we'd be a MINI couple too, if we needed a 4th car.
he's happy driving mine and putting up with me asking him to keep it under 90 mph, at least within the city limits.

there are a few more scooterist/mini-ist here on the boards. and i know a a couple more that aren't part of any real "scene" (scooter or MINI.)

good luck with the wide mount!

We DO Deliverance! Founding member right here! Glad to hear that everyone thinks so highly of our Rally. We really put our heart into it.

We're already in the midst of planning for D5, but will all the new "bundles of joy" that have been popping out, we're a bit behind schedule for a few items.

Sorry to hear that you won't be making it. Enjoy Europe!
