How long should a Maxi last?

[pikey]

the 200's fair better than the 250/300's, but the battery tray in the floor and the inner seam ( about halfway down the inner legshield) tend to hold water and rust from the inside out, if your keeping it julian , Id defo strip the lot and either dinnitrol/waxoil/acf-50 the lot, theres a video on how to strip it somewhere on the modern vespa forum, but I did it so it cant be that hard. When youve put it back together, GIVE IT A WASH !!!,

Wash it I havent got it dirty yet LOL

In my front garden,is my old [1st]Honda sh125,sorned past 3 years.Why.?? Because going threw New x one sunday morning there was an almighty noise.The centre stand came apart.Bollocks cargo straped it up went to the bike demo.Found Terryvanman,stuffed a plastic bollard under it.Rode up to High Beech Rode back,now being held up by a lump of wood.
Point is it needs a new frame.At the mpment havent got the space/time.May b when i move [got my eye on some thing with entrance to back garden].
Have the tools.some where there is the nohow.
Buy a crashed/blown engine and swop the bits over.
Its done 40800 miles.Much quicker then my 2nd sh125i.Not worth you say.well may be not,but i wood like to try.

Richie, it could be welded, but don't throw it away, I service one for a friend and also some parts are common to S-Wing and Poldark's sons SH. It can be moved using my Berlingo Van.
I will be using my S-Wing for many years hopefully, just brought a spare belt, I think they are very over engineered for a 125/150.

Nice one Dave W. When i move.??? Come round.
