This blog is for aimless ramblings about vintage motor scooters, travel, and how to survive retirement. You may see other subjects here, because there are lots of stories back there in the cobwebs of my brain.

A neat little bike.
Here is a better picture of my Benelli (Ward's Riverside). Don't look too closely, because you might see some faded paint, rust, or pitted chrome. This unrestored bike spent most of it's life parked in a leaky old camper near Sparta, Tennessee. When I bought it, it had never been started, but there were three miles on the speedometer. It seems that the owner put those miles on it pushing it up and down the road trying to start it. Small wonder that it didn't start. There was a piece missing in the carburetor, but when that was replaced, it started fine. It has about 55 miles on it now.
