Hi all, Here is an update on what is going on with my scooter from Vietnam. First off I dropped it off at S.F. scooter center for an evaluation by their...
That's about the only (and perhaps safest) thing that I would recommend doing with a bike from Vietnam. I would contact Johnny Beware scooters (I think it's...
Don, Welcome to the wonderful world of scootering! (That is sincere, even if it sounds sarcastic.) As much as this may make me sound like a pessimist, I would...
I saw your bike Friday at SFSC. The frame could very well have started life as an ACMA, but your bike has been so bastardized that it and an all original ACMA...
Hi, Christian,, I think you may be spot on. I have done some research and the scooter is now in the hands of professionals that will do a more thorough ...
Hi John, Thanks for the feedback. Do you work for S.F. scooters? I thought I was commisioning S.F. scooters to come up with the list and cost estimate you just...
I'd say go for the full refund. Going for the Lambretta would be rolling the dice again. Why not get the refund, then take that refund to SF Scooters and see...

Hi Jake, I have just negotiated a refund with the seller. I may elect to roll the dice with these guys in the future but for now my faith in them will be...
Not to rain on your parade, but I highly doubt you'll be getting that money back. But the real question is... if you knew of the problems with buying a...
Hi Rob, Care to lay down a wager on this? I don't now where you got the idea that I knew about problems, or anything about scooters to begin with, before my...
We would like to remind you of this upcoming event. Is your Rally on the TSS Calendar? Date: Tuesday, January 4, 2005 Time: 11:15AM EST (GMT-05:00) Is your...

Don, I think the seller is full of crap. Like I said before, a 1957 scooter would be a "wide mount" frame. (Little door underneith fuel tap rod) and a 60's...
Hi Christian, I am just starting to learn about these things and that is good info. There is a door under the fuel tap rod on this scooter. Does that mean it...
... more ... overall ... Don, you've done a really good thing in taking the scooter to SF scooter center to be checked out. Trust what those guys tell you, ...
Having see the bike up close and in person, I can attest to the fact that Don's bike is a widemount frame, with an ingenious little bracketing system for...
Hi Andrea, I agree with everything you said. Luring people in and then having them be disapointed is a big problem. For some reason I learn most of my most...
... Curiously enough.... I was talking to a faculty member here (I work for Clemson University) looking for a good business project for a set of International...
Several people already do that with some success. The best example would be scooter station in Portland www.scooterstation.com and to an extent, Pirate ...

Hi Jake, I wish I could afford to collect those cars , I just drool over them from the other side of the rope. Since I am now in full anticipation of ...
Hi folks, I am really thinking I gotta take this bike apart and get it painted right... from reading my books and websites it sounds like removing the engine...
Before you paint this bike, YOU DO HAVE ANOTHER RUNNING BIKE RIGHT? The only gotchas are the inevitable body work that you'll discover needs to be done once...
Robin Newberry writes, "...Anybody know where i could start looking for info, or better yet know something about importing scoots and getting 'em on the road...
Heh, it seems most painters take six months to paint anything when you aren't experiencing technical difficulties. At least you have TWO other running bikes. ...
Hello, In my opinion the front fork is easier to remove than the engine the only hard part about removing the front fork is getting off the lower bearing race...
