Yes, those small frame 50cc Vespas can go a bit if you want them to.

The scooter, not you.

This is a pic of one of my other smallframes, ET3, doing a steady 60+ up the M5 today.

Does the engine cover come flying off at that speed? My pals one only take 25mph to scatter debis over the road!

I have had two girlfriends called Debbie. I do not recall them spontaneously falling in the road but they were neither that bright so you could be into something here. Denise (Denfold) on the other hand was made for Microcars as she was about 4ft 9in and pretty slight. She never fell out or off anything. Go for Dens not Debs? Engine covers are for ponces anyway, hype, swagger.

I lost the engine cover last weds 

Somwhere on a 60 mile rideout, and no one saw it go 

They are a poor design the smallframe ones.

Oh dear, its catching! . My friend Steves one is a small frame model and when I had a good look at it after the run it was a very poor fit indeed. I just assumed it had been crashed and repaired or something but now you mention yours is the same they must have been made like it. That must be the reason I like Diana's!

Diana's are very well engineered scooters.
Vespa and Lambretta were a mass produced throw away shopping moped.
But the scooter scene is based mainly around the latter.

Most of my other smallframes have well fitting panels (new bushes and rubbers ) to keep a tight fit.
But the new tuned engine, and cut panel for the rear facing exposed carb was too much for this one

Sheds are now coming along................Not much to do with scooters but I did mention it earlier in the thread.

[skootashaun]

WOW 

That is lush.

I will keep checking in for updates 

Enough room in there for a bambox or two

Just a thought - if you put doors on each end there would never be anything at the back that you couldn't get to.

[Barry]

Update.

Scooter sheds nearly finished.  Just a bit of fine detail left to do.

I did consider double doors on the sides but it would have spoiled the design.  It's prertty easy to move things around inside.

If this is a thread to show off our German scooters, does this one qualify?

[Barry]

I would love to have one of these but I think it would be better in the Invalid Carriage section.  ("what are sheds doing in the scooter thread" I hear you say - well they are definitely off-topic)

I like Invalid carriages and I like scooters so it doesn't get much better than your picture.  It should be nicely tucked-up in my shed don't you think?
50cc?  a bit under powered?
