Good to get some response. Howdy all.

Apparently, the only thing that's constant is change (or some such :-)

Ride Well.

Well, yeah.
I don’t have floor space to keep collecting real sized bikes, so I started going small.
Vespa GTS, Motron Medalist and Malaguti Yesterday.
Yeah, but cheaper and equally fun to ride and all pure Italiano!
Here’s a couple.

Nice! It looks similar to a Gabbiano scoot that my uncle had transported
down to me in Rome when I stayed there one summer. In fact, looking at it
again, they look almost too similar!

The scoot in the image above is obviously not mine...I couldn't dig up any
photos of my uncle's Gabbiano without going through years of printed
photos.

Oh well, enjoy!

Loss of hearing and an ailing Monster… double whammy.One you can repair… the other, I guess you adjust… if possible?

Same engine. A Minarellk V1. Oh, and before anyone calls NDC, Motori Minarelli used Ducati electrical components. The CDI, at least, on those models. Points on these older ones.

🙂

I’m looking for another.. to maybe “hot rod”.

They’re fun, yeah Garth?

That Gabbiano was fun. No match for the SR50s of the day, but it was great
to tool around Rome on. Ahhh, the smell of flowers and two-stroke oil. ;-)
