Talked to my buddy and fellow Scarab today. His name is Mike Stirrat and he (along with his sweet wife, Shelby) owns "Scoot Over", a scooter shop in Tucson, AZ. They have a Stella scooter there that they may be willing to swap for my Bajaj. A Stella is essentially an 80's P-series Vespa with a disc brake, Continental tires and Bitubo shocks. It has a 5-port, 2-stroke engine (I have always loved 2-strokers...ever since my first Yamaha RD and Suzuki T-500's) which would make it easy to work on. Another plus...every accessory from performance parts to dress-up stuff from a Vespa P would fit. And manufacturers for that stuff will always be around. Bajaj has ceased production of the Chetak manual-shift scooters and parts will only be available for another five years. Something to think about.
I'll probably do it...if only for the adventure!
