The other Italian beauty is done after 8 years

 In 2012, I bought a 1959 Vespa to restore as a tribute to my dad who had recently passed away. There were lots of fits and starts but I'm happy to say that it's finally done! 

Here's what it looked like when I first got her...

and here's what she looks like now.

She runs great and with only a 3 speed transmission, can probably only go about 40 mph. That's ok though because it would probably be a little frightening to go any faster than that on those little 8" wheels. It feel so much more secure to ride on a real motorcycle, but it will be fun to kick around on this little scooter.
