happy to give you a profit on the bat if you don't have someone in mind.


Thanks mate. 
 

I bought it, and got my offer to Nicola my ex accepted already.

Shirt !!!! 

 

To be confirmed. 

 

Seems like I just became the owner of an Aprillia Leonardo 300cc “Super Scooter”

 

Been stored unused for two or three years under a canvas. 

 

How bad can it be? 

 

Anyone got any experience with them? 

 

Advice or condolences to offer?? 

 

Go on……

Next up, I need to find a free or super cheap 200cc sized quad. 
 

Engine not needed.

It seems that I could be wrong about this motor. 
 

It could be anything from who knows where. 
 

Depending on what question you ask of the not always  Intelligent A I


Any knowledge or opinions? 
 


But it looks decent.

Did you drain all the bad fuel out? Got to be worth that and cleaning up the plug. It Doesn't seem far off starting. It's coughing on ether. Do you know why it was laid up and will that offer any clues?

Assuming you get it running and MoT'd it seems too good to chop up. Either use or sell would be my suggestion.

Morning

Fuel drained

Fresh three litres added 

Not opened anything deeper yet. 
 

Actually no idea why it was laid up or fell out of use. Also a BMW GS on the drive. 
 

MOT means insurance etc. 

Selling means finding another 200-450 scooter

Selling would not profit me much. 
 

Nobody wants to pay for shit. 
 

I asked the seller his price and agreed to it. 
 

Mickey is £50.00 for using his tow car 160 miles into ULEZ. 

 

I am hoping to find an adult quad donor next.

This dream build is a side job to the C10 resto. 
 

It will be a treasure hunt for parts and an adult quad donor. 
 

I will also be a bit of an engineering challenge. 
 

Mainly as a distraction from the C10 bodywork.

Bit surprised you need (another) distraction from the C10, you've built-up quite a lot of momentum and  progressed well,  done some great work (wings 'n door's)  think silk purse v sow's ear ! 🙂

Still tea and bikkies to hand ...

'free quad bike' - any farm auctions coming up in your area ?

anything down at 'Uncles' ?

Last two minutes may be what you want to see.

Looking for a dead adult sized quad bike front half.
Or the whole thing.
Planning to cut it in half but need brakes, wheels up front.

The closer to Free, the better.

I am in Rochester, Kent area.

PM please

Looks like you managed to answer the question, the engine is from Yamaha, same as a YP250 "Majesty" I believe.

Looks like 200 miles and 4 hours mini trip on Sunday, after bootfair. 

Milton Keynes and back @Zelandeth

£30.00 for three complete Citroen 2 CV front fenders.

Looks like you have a carb in need of cleaning, there may also be a fuel pump to flush as well. 

The history of the aprilia engine is a bit convoluted, looks like they were made by minarelli, which was owned bu Yamaha then taken over by Fantic

I guess you are looking at a reverse trike, but here's a stupid idea for you

Monday- Mini roadtrip to collect three front fenders from a Citroen 2CV.
 

Bit of a mixed day yesterday. 
 

Bootfair: Zero purchases 

 

Decided to try figure out the scooters cutting out  problems. 
 

It’s all explained in this video 

 

Take a look.

Daytrip done. 

 

5 hours driving, including one hour detour. 

205 miles return trip. 

Three fenders for £10.00 or $13.00

Condition much better than £10.00 or $13.00 should be, but actually perfect because I have to fix the one, reshape them etc  

So price, including 205 miles at 55 plus mpg probably under £50.00 

Back home I unpacked, pressure cleaned and mocked two up  

I will be using one green and one white one in the build  

More mocking up soon
