    Must admit, any kind of mechanical work scares me. That’s why I didn’t get a scooter till the electric ones took off. Still, I do feel like I’m cheating a little.

    That’s exactly why I love my classic vespa so much. I got it and had to pretty much rebuild it but scooters are so easy to work on that it was just such a great experience. It took me back to my childhood working on motorbikes with my dad.

    Does anyone remember the JB motor scooter from the 60’s. I bought one on Franklin St in downtown Houston in about 1962. THe popular bikes back than were the Ducatti’s and the Zundap. I have searched on Google but haven’t been able to find any. I don’t remember if it was a German or from Italy. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
