Some cool footage from the SIP Custom Show. It is perhaps a bit more interesting if you speak German... but the shots of the scooters are universal.

Wow, time flies.  About a month ago, I cruised over to my friend Jay's pad to help him make some progress on his GS.  Jay bought a GS 150 VS4 in parts, and has been slowly resurrecting the old girl.  Suffice to say, a GS restoration is not for the feint of heart, or anyone on a schedule.  Missing parts, even small ones, take a long time to track down.  Above, you see Jay-the-bandito working the surface rust off his rear shock.  Fun times! 

Here you see Jay's scooter in the background.  My GS is in the foreground.  I brought it over to his place so we had a reference for all the funky nuts and bolts, and just generally could figure out where the jigsaw puzzle pieces went.  We've made good progress.  At this point, we're just needing to get the wheel nuts, and Jay's got a roller!  Then comes the fun part of connecting all of the cables and wiring...

Sorry for the light posting recently... I've been on vacation. Yes, relaxing on a warm beach in Mexico with a margarita and some fish tacos. I'm back though, and we'll get back to our regularly scheduled scooter blogging!
