All in good time - patience is a virtue

If my Vespa is back up to speed before we leave Pretoria I am going to put my white wall tires on her! I have a set just like this in a box in my office just begging to go into action!
Patience is a good thing - but so is a little bit of healthy motivation!

Nice bike, Dion. Did you see my Bajaj Pickup on my blog? It's a rebadged Vespa Ape (i.e. continued production under another name), made in India, and still a recognisable affinity with the 1948 model. There's a (very small) picture on my blog now.

Hey Wes,
Thanks for the comment, please check my flickr set for an 'after an encounter with a 4x4' photo.

And, this is what it looked like way back in the day (before it was restored).
before restoration
And THIS is what it looked like BEFORE the 4x4 got hold of it... I hope it will look like this in a few weeks!
