Anyone from UK here?

Post by Bobspeed »

Well I just found this site while looking up Honda Vision/melody tuning? We mainly seem to have Vespa's/Lambrettas, as scooter scene over here in UK, and Iv noticed the honda Zoomber (ruckus) taking off here, but Iv just got hold of a81 Melody, had a few scoots over the years along with my super bikes, but I do love scooters, and the retro scene, so I'm unsure on what heart transplant to go with?? Having owned a Aprilia sr125 which was fast enough, would be ideal engine? Or Iv weed Honda Dylan124 4stroke, not very quick, but went ok and brilliant on fuel and reliable as *? But I'm def going down the Lowered stretched a bit look with mine

Hey Bobspeed, i'm also from the UK so in the Melody club - though they're both in pieces.
Joined the board to get me * in gear and make some progress.
Defo agree about Vespas and Lambrettas, find them a bit commonplace, though my deluxe 2 has been mistaken for a vespa on occasion.

nice, seen that one on ebay.
Don't think I've ever seen one with rack, basket and mats.
Reckon you should be able to get both running.
