Speaking of vintage scoots, I've had this GS160 for about, crap, 17 years now. I've only ever ridden it around the block a few times but it all works. I've never given it the going over it needs to get it ready for regular riding. I'm working on getting it out of my parents garage in PA and shipping it here to CA. Well, working on it in a very meta way. I've not done anything yet.

I'd rock the poo poo out of that, even if all that's left of the previous rider is some woman's footwear.

I'd love to ride it but it really kind of needs everything. The suspension is wasted, the head bearings are super notchy, the tires and tubes predate me by a few decades. The good thing is all of the important stuff is there but if that goes it's a pain to get because it's a GS so lots of normal Vespa stuff doesn't work on the engine.
I was thinking about picking up a new Stella engine and sticking it in there for ease of maintenance but that along with everything else it needs would be a huge pain to repair having no garage.
