Lately I have had decent luck with bikes. Finding ones I want, having them actually running, and then the rally hit.

Well take any 39 year old bike out for more then 100 miles and something will happen. The first two days it was the belle of the ball (1, 2, 3, can’t find the others).

The ride on Sunday took it’s toll. Earlier the tail lamp running light went out, no biggy. Somehow during the day in the bulb one of the leads running to the filament melted and joined the lead for the brake lamp. This scenario drained my battery.

Time passed and I had not actually gotten on any of the bikes for almost the whole summer (I call that a mix of bad luck and being able to walk to work). Then I get a call from Larry. He would like to know if I could take a look at this BSA someone wanted to trade for a scooter. Well, as it turns out it is one I have always admired, a 1968 B44.

Good luck returns, I have the BSA and Larry’s customer has his scoot. We are all very happy. Now i am in the process of removing two bikes from the collection.

Grab your scoot and come out to play.

So the sunday before last I head down to the Hinge for the weekly club meet. I was able to schedule dropping the GS off with checking out a new scoot. It was one of these odd times where everyone showed up, the oddest was probably me showing up. The french toast was excellent as usual and conversation was amazingly not scooter centric.

With a little help from Larry down at Philadelphia Scooters, the GS160 was purchased on ebay the other week and is now in Tacoma. The pity is that it was finally performing it’s best.
