    What scooter is this?

    Saw it parked outside a Honda delaership in a small town in northern Thailand, Nong Khai if that means anything to you...

    Took a closer look and spied out a curious bit of bling behind the front wheel, see pic 2!

    Looks like a custom Frankenstein as the leg-shield suggest Vespa (or licensed copy) - interesting is though that the front fork seems to have no suspension.

    Honda Cub 65cc

    It's got a short leading link front end

    looks like my old 1965 Honda 50, with its wishbone front suspension actually that style of suspesion worked quite well in the front actually..

    In the days of my youth all commuters looked like this ( lol ) and the big bikes were British 350's ! Cheers.
    When you take thousands of photos of your bike does the light from the flash weaken the plastic?
