Yes I figured that out after. Actually I found a picture that showed the Falcon with the top covered. I got excited but I didn't realize its a convertible. Now you say you have a vespa cool!!
welcome aboard. i see we have some similarities with our in the wings category, lol. you'll fit in no problem. rick
Thanks Rick, here's a preview. They're all dusty, dented and somewhat ugly....but they run. Each one has a neat story - for another day, our daughter just gave us our first Grand-child early this morning and I guess some things take point, lol.

Rick, I've had the Vespa about 20 years. You're the first guy to (beside myself) that used "Vespa" and "cool" in the same sentence. Even my best pal said I needed to see a shrink when I saved it. I.M.H.O. - ugly is the new kool. Thanks man.
Randy, congrats on the new grandchild. Our son and daughter in law did the same last Oct. It's another category in itself. Figured it took him about 2 weeks to have grandma and grandpa wrapped around his little finger but right now I wouldn't want it any other way. Very special. Enjoy
Hello Randy: Welcome to our shop. Thank you for joining us. Congratulations on being a "Granpaw" My Granddaughter just made us great grandparents last week..and I have another one due from another granddaughter due in about 6 months..Got too many grandsons turning to driving age I need to hide my cars.. I have 2 turning 16 July first..twins..I have had a couple texts in the last month asking me if I have any cars they could have to fix up..Scary I can't even imagine the cost of insurance for young guys starting to drive now-a-days..We sure had it good when we were young with the "unsatisfied Judgement Fund insurance co" I remember paying either $25 or $35 a year for coverage to be driving at 16..The good old days..no safety's, no e-tests ..no cell phones, no computers, no Princess auto, but damn we had fun..Rock and roll was coming to life..Those were the days, feels like I should be humming a tune.. Feels good this morning to have my mind drift back a few years and I can Feel a smile on my mind..

Yowser, that'll keep you busy - and thanks for the invite Chuk. I have to agree we had it better but as my wife reminds me " our kids can't miss what they haven't experienced", pretty smart lady. Usually too smart for this old fart.

One of my pals and I have been trading this thing back and forth since we were about 14. It's a '49 frame with a '51 500 single. I also have the original running 350 and clutch/trans. Last time it arrived on my doorstep we agreed it would stay here. This summer I hope to roll it over to my shop and get into it. It runs but needs a complete going over, media blast, paint & polish, etc. Tell me about the Enfield Rick. They're very nice bikes.
