Hey everyone, I am just going to start this thread with 1 single picture and no further information. You know.. to tease  Check out my new show on Youtube: EDIT 1: It is time to come out of the shell. I am happy to announce a sponsorship with Diabolo.lu from Luxembourg, (plug start) great little shop that helps you with your very refined demands and many years of Scooter Racing experience (plug over). The Bike is a Yamaha CA50 with original 1800ish miles. The build will happen in 4 stages: Stage 1: Engine swap, Minarelli Horiz takes the spotlight. We then get the bike to run, hopefully Stage 2: Fork Swap. The big goal is to swap my old F32S Malossi fork in here, lift the whole thing up a notch Stage 3: Liquid cooling conversion with some nice old school flavour in parts. It is good to go back to when I started in this scene and hope to get full Top Performance setup, including Nardo exhaust, Mikuni TM24 carb and Due Plus 70cc Stage 4: Optical stuff, fix up some plastic, get it wired up properly.       EDIT 2: Engine is out   |

Great way to start a thread!  Somewhere out there, there's a writeup about a dude who modified a Technigas expansion chamber to his 'Beluga'- I think that's the same bike but with an appropriately fitting across the pond name?? Can't wait to see what you crazy fellers do to this one! |

I like the setup! A lot of kids over here had that kinda setup (fast cast iron 70's) on their street scoots around the early 00's. It was either the due plus or polini corsa!

You gotta get some grease and hammer marks on that workbench ASAP. It is finished with bees wax over poly, very easy to clean! |

Just saw the video. Nice, clean work space you got there. Bin mir nicht sicher aber ich glaube ich hörte einen Deutschen Akzent im Video.  |

*TRIGGER WARNING* Luxembourg, not bourgH. Also we speak German AND French and.. well Luxembourgish  Aber ja, ich spreche fliessend Deutsch. In fact, one of my Vespa buddies from Southern Germany is coming to visit tomorrow! Je parle aussi fluemment francais, which is helpful with my sponsor who does most work in French and Luxembourgish. |
