(Pun probably intended)
I had been thinking about an electric car and a project motorcycle for a few years so when I walked into a vintage shop this spring and saw "Arturo" sitting there, I fell in love. The fact that it was in my favourite colour was just icing on the cake. I bought it on the spot not knowing if it ran, rearranged the van and crammed it in the back with the cargo and floated home.
I got home and started researching the name. I found a couple of you tube videos and a forum run by a really nice guy with a bad auranthetic habit (15 or so)
Fiddling about with the motor confirmed my fear that the smoke had been let out. Musta been a lot of smoke in that thing. I was sort of bummed because the replacement Scott motor listed at about $500.
In the meantime, I got in touch with another owner in Vancouver who wanted to sell his working bike which he had just bought and got running. So that's how I ended up with two. One for me and one for my honey.
Golden horseshoes.
