Still having fun with the shop Buddy. I still have some ideas im working on.

GREAT!
Another bank of mirrors and more headlights!!!!!

Frankenscootah!
The fender crest is beautiful and absurd... well, actually, it all is. I want to see this scoot out on the road!
I hope you're going to bring this scoot to LV.

If that is photoshop, then it is very nicely done!

Its no photoshop.

Its going to the Vegas rally unless I get my '59 Triumph Tigress scooter running and rideable. The Triumph needs some uber rare carburator parts, so its looking good for the Buddy.

Nice touch Mike! Now, we've got to come up with a way to have some leg-shield crash bars fabricated!

Not really dating yourself, because that's often held up as THE mod/scooter movie. Unfortunately— and I risk losing my mod pass here—I recently watched the movie again after 15 years or so. And though it was scooterific (though you don't get to see the scoots in daylight until 3/4 of the way through the thing), it was also kind of cliche, long and boring. Best to fast forward to the departure for Brighton.

Mike,
looking at it again, you HAVE to checker-board the bottom half of the windshield (will look nice w/ the whitewalls), put the old "Lambretta letters" on either side (do a G and B), and wrap the edge of it with chrome...kinda gets lost now with the stadiums...

Actually I was thinking about the album cover. You know..those cardboard things that records (they look like giant black cd's) used to come in and we would use to clean our mariju..... oh never mind!

I don't know what you're referring to... not at all...

(Boy, wouldn't the wife like to see these gone!)

Is that a copy of Tommy (on the Decca lable of course!) sitting next to that?

Heh, nope. Not much of a Who collection. I do have the other "Jimmy" Quadrophenia cover on Polydor... somewhere...
