Hey, this is the Shamus-Daisy Vespa Pk S project.
I (Shamus) purchased this scooter when I was 14 years old, in March 2004.
I rode it for a year from when I was 16, and put it in the shed when I was 17 and got on my T5.
I sold it to Steve Pav in 2009, he was going to use the engine for a project... but it sat in his garage until... August 2011..... When I bought it back.

It was a present for my girlfriend Daisy, just a small project, repair the rust spots, get it running... Pav thought it had run out of petrol.... I still don't know.

Looking at the bike I decided the rust needed stripping back better, and I remembered that my Granddad had a big tin of white paint that he did not use to paint his van, I have now acquired the paint, and the scooter is stripped down to bare metal.... stay tuned for more updates

Current spec is PK 100 S with Polini 135 kit and Leo Vinci exhaust. Will put bigger carb on (only 16 mil at moment).

Ciao for now.

Go Shamus (and Daisy)

Hey Gary, welcome mate !!!!!

Yep, about the pk, I think that everybody had probably one in his life..... and try not to admit it

but with the decades, when you can get one, you see all the opportunities to do something nice and crazy !

Yes Geoff ... mine was in 1984 at just 14 years old, a red PK50S Automatica with fake "stadium" from my bicycle, an aerial from my father car and a Marchall Yellow fog light on the front carrier ... !!

cheers Geoff , and hello to everyone else..
used to have a 50, and then was given another one , that I gave away...

wish I'd kept it now...
