Blue Meanie not working but will be soon........... So I will need a project, went to local scrap yard and saw this that's been there over a year now and got it for £35 scrap value. Is my Sanity in question? I know it's a Piaggio 125cc 4t but anyone know the model?

You are going to have fun with that. Only seven licenced on UK roads. And 38 on SORN! It's a rare beast.

Plenty of cheap parts on Fleabay too after a quick look but the idea was to rat it and use those lxv handlebars and screen, switchgear etc I was going to put on a Vespa.

The answer is YES! Buy something you don’t have to work on, and if that’s too boring for you MOD IT OUT. I guess you’re saving scoots from great beyond, but damn, so much work just to make it work again. Then probably sell it shortly thereafter, too much work. ROI is very low! You’re mind? Haven’t seen it this week (;

Keeping the engine and relays as a spare for the Vespa and will part the rest of the piaggio skipper out. The baotian will be turned into a 80cc rat build at a later date to use up all the bits I have hanging round that fits it. Keeps me occupied over the next few months. ☺️

So you not going to try and fix the skipper then? No more useful as a spares kit for Vespa and some bits donor like lights for Baotian which I will find cheaper for parts if I even need anything I have plenty of China parts in the way here that need to go on something

Trailer hitched up this evening, pick up Honda Dylan 125cc for £30 at 08.30 then meet daughter and grand daughter at 08.50 have coffee and breakfast in Minds Eye with them, unload and back in town for 10.00 for massage and nothing strenuous after that.
