Thank you!! It’s been a lot of fun working on this motorcycle and learning all that I have so far. I have more parts now and need to get back to it. Kind of doing the same, buying parts as I can and then putting things together. Thankfully this was pretty complete when I got it. I was fortunate enough to get a title with this one. I am versed in obtaining a title. Easiest but costly is going through Saintsengine.com. They are quick and easy to work with, I have used them in the past. If you happened to get a bill of sale with your engine that has the VIN number on it. (VIN is on the motor only until 1970) You can get a title bond or surety bond. I do my bonding through State Farm (the insurance company). With a bill of sale you can apply for a title bond. Once they give you that, you can take that bond and the bill of sale to the DMV and apply for a title. The bond covers you up to the insured amount in the instance that someone comes forward and says that the motorcycle is theirs and has proof of ownership. The DMV issues you a regular title in your name. If you have other questions or need help with the process, let me know. Be glad to help.

Thank you! Hopefully adding the top end to mine soon

I like them better than the Super E. Much more manageable

That’s what I want to do. I may have someone add some pin striping

I’m happy enough with the Met for now. It does what it needs to for my kid. Maybe in the future after she’s done with it, I’ll do more. I’d be interested to see what you get out of your future changes.

Still have the rear fender. $225 for that with the struts.

I am definitely learning about vespas as I go! It’s been a fun endeavor. Running an old 2 stroke is great for getting the skeeters out of the area for sure. Plus these old bikes are built pretty well. It’s fun to kick them to life.

The frame does have an assembled title that comes with. $1000

Its always great to fire a motorcycle for the firs time!

I have seen a lot of his videos and it would be amazing to connect with him.

I’d like to ride one of the newer ones and see the difference. I know that the Met and Met II are different when it comes to overall top speed. Honda makes a great machine and with general maintenance you should be able to keep it forever. I still have my 1970 CT70 and it runs great.

Sure is. It’s tough and hasn’t come off yet

@@Rockeys_Chop_Shop bro I had a small hole so I took a trash bag and melted in the hole 😂

It’s a fun mess. The front wheel my friend built. Probably one of the few 21” hamburger drum wheels out there.

Hello 👋

First time I’ve seen it done. It’s a neat setup for sure. I definitely want to get it running and take it out to different vintage shows.

I’ll be posting it to my eBay later today

@@Rockeys_Chop_Shop did someone already pick it up?

@@LazcanoGuy714 No. it’s still available. Item # 156455096369

😎

Pretty neat setup

@@Rockeys_Chop_Shop 👍🏼😸

I honestly can’t say that I know enough about them. Seems like parts might be harder to find. I’d highly recommend a Honda product. They are very reliable and many parts available. Not to ding the Kymco but I don’t know enough about them. Had this one long enough to trade it off

@@Rockeys_Chop_Shop Thank you. Appreciate the insight.

@@RonnieSouthbuckle You’re welcome!

I love this bike and the experience that came with it. I do hope to get it on the road. Also hope to learn so much more about it!

I do wonder if they allow vintage bikes up the hill

🏁

Thank you. The full video will be up tomorrow. Many more details and the full story

Thanks for the suggestion. I will give that a try next time.

Thank you! Brings back so many great childhood memories!

That is funny. Perfect timing I suppose. Yes it would have been better to just cut the lines and replace them. They have all been replaced now.

Thanks for that. I’ll try zippo lighter fluid next time. Haven’t messed with glue traps in a long time but that is also great info to know.

Oh. Good to know. May just part it all out.

The bottom gauge is the fuel gauge which is so nice to have.

@@Rockeys_Chop_Shop I'll say .. on my bikes I tend to use a stick..lol

@@MoeLarrycurly1 I have plenty like that. With my kid using this one, it was good for her to see where the fuel is

Yes. This is a currently produced Honda product.

@@Rockeys_Chop_Shop Well it's got to be better than those Chinese ones. 😮

@@MoeLarrycurly1 It really is. I love Hondas. They build some great products

Absolutely a fun little ride

Good to know

Thank you.

I think so too! 🛵

I’ve always loved old vespas. My grandpa had a couple when I was a teenager! I hope you’re going to leave this one ugly and just ride it!

@@Hard_Luck_Garage I have two Vespas. One is very nice and this one is ratty. I plan to leave it this what, possibly pin stripe it. But I do love its look

There wasn’t necessarily a target speed. This unit picked up every vehicle driven from the same point and increased display speed as the vehicle did.

🛵

I’ve seen so many of these without engines in them. Never seen one from a swamp

@@Rockeys_Chop_Shop that was bout 1965..if I remember

@@MoeLarrycurly1 Any idea how it got put into the swamp?

@@Rockeys_Chop_Shop no I moved into the home with my parents in 1962. And we used to hunt ducks in a swamp close by me use later they build a Kmart in that area. So no telling how it got there and how long it had been there...

@@MoeLarrycurly1 Always amazing to see what gets deposited into old swamps.

Thank you. 😎

Thanks for the suggestion. Maybe on the next one. This one has been sold

This one is already gone. Onto the next

That’s something I’m looking into. I think it would make for even funnier videos

@@Rockeys_Chop_Shop sure wood

No. Just here. We are the only two businesses in the area.

I have 7 engines posted for sale. Hoping to move them to new homes

Right out for the world to see

You’re welcome.

@@Rockeys_Chop_Shop It is extra work and time at the very least to put a video out like yours. So I'm thankful. I looked on your channel and I could not find a follow-up video with a little speed run or Hill climb. Did I miss it? Anyways, happy Wednesday and best wishes.

@@123edwardzpad I haven’t but I’ll work on that this next week. Great thought and I appreciate the input

I did film a video today. I am currently editing it and will have it up soon. Look for it tomorrow afternoon.
