Happy Christmas to me .... It lives!!!!

[peter the postie]

Remember the dead & battered sports moped I began restoring?

Look at me now :biggrin:

 

[babsgood]

Brilliant, it looks great, I also love that its in a house!! reminds me of my TS 125 that was stolen and when I got it back I wouldn't park it outside so it lived in the back room of our terraced house. that was fine but when I moved onto a Kawasaki Z1B that was a bit too big, so it had to live outside.............soon moved house tho to somewhere with a garage!!

 

[RichnKim]

Wow looks like a completly different moped!

[Terry the Celt]

Brilliant work Pete!!
It looks superb and you must be very proud of it.
Even Denise must be impressed Lol.
Merry Xmas

 

[Harem]

Well done Pete!!!

 

[Rainbow]

Wow what a transformation.

Seeing it in the house reminds me of when I was a nipper and my Dad was always "fixing" motorbikes in the dining room. Drove my Mum bonkers!

Soo x

Really good job Pete bet you're a happy bunny now. Ted

Well done Pete and what a good place to keep it.

The only thing with these perfectly restored vehicles I have found is that you only use them when the weather is OK. I had an MGB Roadster that was as clean underneath as the bodywork and tended to keep it for dry weather and summer use when there was no salt on the road.

 

[Terry the Celt]

Its funny you should say that Ian but my brother in law paid about £25k for a Morgan about 3 years ago and he keeps it in an air conditioned garage, rubs it down daily and only takes it out if its sunny and the roads are dry!!
I would be so proud if I was Pete that I would keep it by the fire with spotlights focussing on it!!Lol

 

[icebern09]

Pete thats amazing.Well done to you. What determination and commitment.

 

[peter the postie]

Hehe, thanks Terry. Yes I am proud of the finished article There has been a lot of work and research gone into it, but its been well worth it.
Its actually in the front room there because I now need to construct a ramp to get it down a high step. And Jcrian, yes it will only be used on special occasions such as rally's. It certainly wont ever see a wet road if I can help it

 

[Martyn]

Nice job Pete

 

[Yalides]

Smart job mate. How did you get away with having a bike in your house ?

 

[jcrian]

I have just heard that my nephew has one of these (like in your original condition before restoration) and my brother is going to show him the photos to show him what can be achieved by restoring it.

My brother now has four, I only know one is a Ducatti and he used to race. Until he had a truly bad accident which resulted in a duplicate Barry Sheen op. Metal and 11 screws all up one leg. When we were young he would always spend hours and hours and hours cleaning.

Makes me think of my teenage years pillion on his, while his girlfriend had to go on his mates. Only way my Mum would let me go! What a tolerant brother?

 

[Mag]

Well Done...it looks great!

 

[yalimart]

definitely one to be proud of - well done !
