Rest In Peace
I was at a Ulysses club meeting in Hamilton, the 'sherriff' was doing his usual fineing for real or imagined misdemeanors when one incident caught my attention - a member was fined because an old model vespa powered past him while he was doing over 100km per hour. Someone has been doing some effective mods, great stuff.

What's the big deal? I thought many of the Vespas (especially the 250s) were capable of a decent turn of speed.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

Isn't 60km/h a decent speed for a coop??
It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.
Double shot!!
A bloke down the road from us has a 2009 300cc four stroke vespa.

"Wow, Great advise there DB."

A year or so back my evil cousin that looks just like me , but is not totally lawabiding like me, followed two Vespae down the Southern and considerably more than 100 kph. I'm told. I wasn't there of course.

That was f'n quick. North of 200kph I believe.
In space, no one can smell your fart.
Come warm yourself by the fire
I've never seen a vespa wipe out faster than 100kph........

Thats shamefull. He should have been fined for that.
I bet the Vespa rider loved it. LOL
Ride it until the wheels fall off...

So long ago it is now VERY vague but pretty sure it was a Vic club winter series meeting and some guy turned up with a Kawasaki H2 engine in a scooter frame. Uugly in so many ways
Forum whore
I have seen the same - infact have (somewhere) pics (remember the old printed out photo's?!!) of the H2 motor in the footwell of a Vespa, as well as one with a Honda 500/4 motor, - taken at the original Cold Kiwi site at Six Cross lol

Don't know how you'd do that in a coop frame - but the old YPVS in a Lammy is pretty common:
There's plenty of old scoots around NZ that'll top well over 100, after all you only need to put a Sito pipe on a PX200 to get 110. There's a Lammy in Auckland that'll probably do 140+...and once I get Dave Lobster's chamber onto mine I'm hoping for close to 130..
Only a homo puts an engine back together WITHOUT making it go faster.

This is my mate's Li350. The reg is real.
There's some clips of it on a dyno on youtube somewhere. I'll see if I can dig them out.

small cylinder, big rev!!!
So if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a noise? teehee...
Is this one of the true Yambrettas?

In that it has a Yam engine in.. yeah.. it is.Is this one of the true Yambrettas?
But.. It's not a Rossa one. I'm pretty sure it was built by Rob Skipsey. The guy that's got it now bought it off him a few years back. I think it's on its third engine rebuild now..
Still on a drum brake too!
