Crude City Scooter Club

18 months, skinned knuckles and lots of swearing later, my Ducati is finished. Still needs OPI, insurance and registration, so I can't ride it (legally) anywhere yet. I'm having a problem with the Dellorto carb that I need to figure out. Other than those minor issues, she's done. Now I have time to ...

Which Italian Centre? I assume 95 Street?

Folks, Having dismantled our PX125E yesterday, and considering the advice from jbcollier, I'm contemplating upgrading the engine on the scooter. I've searched the web for upgrade kits, and I'm kinda at a loss for how to proceed. I'm thinking that a full top end rebuild kit is the way to go... hopefu...

Thanks to John and John, we started with this... http://i960.photobucket.com/albums/ae87/mtgill/IMG_1641_zpsc8sqfaq8.jpg And two hours later, we ended with this... http://i960.photobucket.com/albums/ae87/mtgill/IMG_1664_zpspnifsc49.jpg Now the fun begins! This is (roughly) where we're headed... http...

EDITED

Folks,
If you're interested in joining John and I tomorrow, my address is xxxx. In the west-end, south of Lewis Estates.
See ya,
Mike

PM'd you.

I would like to do a full strip.
I will be replacing all seals and gaskets on the engine, a full repaint, and replacement of all rubber, cables, brakes and tires.

Would 10AM work?

Mike

John, Your Duc is a few years younger than mine, and shows a few of the mods to make them a little more reliable on the track. Congrats! Andrew, Thanks! I'm really looking forward to getting it on the road... just waiting for the painted parts. My paint guy is late; I guess I can't ride it any way, ...

John, I can transport the scooter in a pinch, but it's not a preferred solution. As you're aware, when you dismantle any vehicle, it takes up approximately 10x the volume of the original vehicle. So the thought of man-handling a bazillion boxes of parts into and out of a truck, and then having to do...

Redbike and John, Thanks for your responses. I've started some basic research and wandering through the various sites to get a better understanding of the scooter. I've been tied up getting my Ducati finished, and I'm proud to say that I'm getting close. I have one minor mechanical issue to resolve,...

Hello folks... I'm your newest member. I recently acquired a Piaggio P125X, with the intent of restoring it for my daughter. I'm fairly mechanically inclined; I'm just finishing up the restoration on my 1965 Ducati Sebring, and I do all maintenance on my 1970s Yamahas and my BMW. Before I start the ...
