I got my bridge piece!

Finally customs has released my bridge piece.  It's kind of bent up and rusty, so at least it matches the rest of the scooter.

Not really in the mood to write more.  :\

At least that's good news though.

Legshields and horncasts and bridge pieces, oh my!

Happy New Year, Lambroni!

Today was a productive day.  After much sweating and cursing last night, and wondering what parts I need to pull off just to get those effin legshields off, I did it!   This is good because I've found a gent in Niagra who is wanting to trade my legshields for a horncast.  Win-Win!  I hope, anyways.  They're in very rough condition, so I hope he is aware of how rough that actually is.

My scooter-guru-friend Angelo suggested I take the headset off to pull the legshields off, which would have been preferable, except I have no tool for the giant hex nut (?) at the bottom of the headset.  I'm not sure, but it seemed instrumental in headset removal.  That's fine though, because I managed to gently squeeze the legshields off around the frame, as was also suggested.

I'm still waiting for my bridge piece, hopefully it will be here soon.  :D

Here is a picture of my three lucky, non-italian-parts, washers/pennies.  Um...not really sure what to say about that.
