I really wish a dope Vespa shop was doing similar clips to help me with that project--which is on hold until I'm hired somewhere. Maybe. I don't know. I had an itch today to take that whole thing apart today to put in a new quadrant. Plus, having it not-done is making me leave tools in the garage that should be in the back of my car.
Lovely distractions.
What do you do when summer starts?
