Greetings from Finland

[nicsar]

Hi all,

I have been messing around with italian scooters for the past five years. I have 4 Vespas and one Lambretta at the moment. This has got me interested in the motoring culture of that era in general.
A friend of my fathers popped in my garage a couple of weeks ago, he said that he has a Trident´69 in bits. The frame in one shop and the engine at another shop.
He said I can have the bike, so now Im tracking down the bits and hoping that they are in a decent condition. He said the reason for the dismantling of the engine was an conrod failure so anything can be expected really.

But anyway, its going to be a really new world for me and I look forward to get to work on a 4 stroke machine.

cheers,

-Nicklas

Hi Nicklas from Finland and welcome! We were in your country a couple of years ago - very beautiful indeed. Where do you get to ride all your scooters - I'm a classic Vespa fan myself.

 

[Gromit]

Oh btw - your English is excellent. I admire bilingual people!

 

[nicsar]

Cheers. I´ve ben quite active on a few english forums for a few years so I guess the English has improved along the way.

Did you come over here for a rally or did you just visit the North Pole and watch the sun never go down?

 

[Gromit]

No, it was really just to see the lights - mid winter so not the best for touring in any way.
