Yeah mine crapped out like that....i was riding along and i could hear this tick tick tick noise, wondering what it was, then the speedo stopped...ended up like Bumps, the tag broke ...i bought a new one
I see them break the tabs ...mostly when the guys roll the bike backwards. Never had one lock up...little tab can break off by hand. Oh well....on to whst ever is next for it...Its back off that lift so i can work ...
Last 66 vespa i restored....just cant bring myself to,use that color. Lmao
Well i finished it up last night.....now torn. Looked in paint cabinet.....have all the material including the clear. But all i have for base color is...seafoam green...yuk. Cant spend money on this pig.....little trick if you have had damn passing lamps turn a little and not line up...black tape. Than put the chrome on....they stay lined up for a long time. Maybe ill leave fender off and toss bike in shed till........Hey it runs good .....maybe when the 77 sells lmao

LOL !!! my old man rode a vespa in the 50s....he was a timber cutter and somehow he loaded the vespa up with a cross cut saw running lengthways, three axes on the back with his gear and a hessian bag full of splitting wedges on the floor under his feet!!!............FLH came up looking sweet !!
Well a M8 is not a Twinkie, maybe John approves of their return to one cam?
Or maybe he thinks it doesn't have a soul?
Could go either way.
Gotta agree no soul at all......for me i just put lots of miles on the dailym8....buy them brandnew but from private sellers that have buyers remorse. Let them take 33% loss on something 3-4 months old. Or buy salvage ...most times i put lots of miles on those too...so its proven and ends up in hands of friends at big discounts..Plus the m8 had me wanting to take one apart as i could give a f about warrantys
