I knew there had to be some more scooter folk on this list. I currently have
a '70 Vespa 180 Rally, my wife has a 1964 Allstate with a proper non-pogo
fork and in the past we've owned the following:

65 ( I think) 125 Super
80 Et3
79 P2 - malossi 210, Broadhurst reed, 30 Dell'Orto, SIP/jl exhaust and
ported ported, ported!!! This one got me into serious trouble a few times:
sometimes in court, sometimes in the E.R. I ran a Honda XL top-tank on it
for a while.
56 Vespa VL2 (VL3 maybe, I forget)
?? Series 1 Li125, junkyard bike
64 Series 3 Li125
66 SX200 with minor porting and 28 Mikuni (foolish to sell)

My brother also has tons of stuff- PX150, a couple of Allstates, my old VL,
V90, VB1 (nice bike), and something else, I'm sure.
My wife and I  been off the road for about a year with our scoots being
buried behind tons of junk in the garage, but this year we should be back on
it.

It's good to know that other folks are as screwed as me, vehicle wise.

to avoid the two 90 degree bends in the manifold...maybe some custom cutting
and welding if it's even possible.
