Mark Veno's Vespa Chopper


Ill let him tell ya about it in his own words.... . . . "The fork is extended 5"and the engine has been fucked with as follows:Reed block from RD400 welded on cases,dellorto 30mm carb,aftermarket expansion chamber exhaust,and Polini 210cc cylinder kit.The tranny has a higher ratio primary drive so the scooter now tops out around 90 mph and cruises at 75 all day.I've also lightened the flywheel by removing the fan.I don't need it with the motor hanging out like that."

"ALL the work was done by me except for the welding.Paint,fabrication,machining,porting,all me.You might think "oh it's just a scooter" but keep in mind that I can't just look in a book to learn how to modify or customize it , nor can I run to the corner shop to get parts.I'm not saying I'm the first to do this,I'm just saying that it takes just as much thought and skill to build a scooter chopper as it does a motorcycle chopper.Actually,building my Triumph has been a cakewalk in comparison."
