New Member Introduction.

Hello, new member here! Looking forward to learning how to work on older/vintage scooters. The first scooter we had was a 2005 Honda ruckus, it’s a blast to drive to work every morning.

I recently picked up a 1973 Yamaha V50 I’d like to get going to drive around town and campsites when we go out.

I have a background in the automotive industry, we own dealership in town and though I know my vehicles I haven’t had much experience working on anything mechanical. Any advise, tips/tricks are welcome!

Hi, new here, names Jeremy. Have 2.5 Chinese scooters. Auto mechanic by trade, newbie scooter mechanic for fun. I have a 200? Gorilla motor works 49cc that turned into a parts scooter, 2012 taotao atm50, and a 2008 vitacci solana (I think). Built a few scooters for friends of mine and still dont know a whole lot about scooters. Thanks in advance for any help or information.
