Well, I finally got the Vespa I'd had my eye on for a while. It's a 1965 GL (Gran Lusso) and it's in pretty good shape. Well, except for the fact that it doesn't run.
I drove up to Boston on Saturday with a trailer from U-Haul and picked it up. The trailer was a complete piece of junk, but after 45 minutes to an hour of trying different configurations, I finally got the Vespa secured enough to make the drive back home to Jersey City. There was some very minor damage done in transit, but not much that can be seen.
Here's a picture of me going for my first "ride" on the scooter while in the back of the trailer.
My first goal is to get this thing running. I wanted a project, and we'll see how much of a project this Vespa really will be. I'm hoping to have it out on the road by the time the weather gets nice again. We'll see.
