Project 'REPRO'
Its been going on for around a year and a half now, along side the pain of neck and arm this has added an even bigger pain in my life!! But there is life at the end of the tunnel, I'm crossing my fingers while typing this. Project 'REPRO' a 66 Vespa VBB with PX 150 engine, polished & ported with a 30mm carbie and race pipe, flat black finish with race seat. The front end is needing full rebuild with Rally hub/linkage etc as the brake/hub set up it had was shite, all be it NEW! PAH! it was out of true and warped, we tried 2 new hubs and still shite. Derek from Scooterlabs has had the nitemare of rebuilding the front end with 10' fork and the refurbed Rally bits. Striping is coming next, hopefully to finish it off so it can be registered, a wee bit of nostalgic pinestripe to finish of the look - RETRO would have been nice but 80's inspired psychobilly scooterboy called for 'REPRO'.




What a weekend!!
It started off good, 1 hr on the rollers, walking the dog, then on sunday arvo the referred pain in arm and leg started rearing its ugly head! NOT happy, thoughts are bad & sad at the moment.
Well at least Flanders made me happy, WOW, hats off to Chavanel what a beast of a ride, I guess it was expected from Cancellara, ANIMAL. I thought Geriant Thomas had a superb ride pulling back the break on several occasions. Oh well back to Monday lets hope it get pain free! Imagine how these boys feel, Flanders then Roubaix OUCH! Tom Tom for next week?
