My brother is a partner at a moped shop in Bushwick by his apartment. For christmas he gave me the remnants of a 1983 Italian moped that I picked up earlier today. This will give me something to do while Im not working on my camaro. Im missing just a few things like a chain spark plug and carb. Im hoping to get it running sometime this week. I snapped a couple pictures of the shop and the bike. Cant wait for tomorrow so I can get started.

Never heard of that brand and i had a ton of mopeds growing up...motobecane, puch's, tomos which i did some custom work to back in the day. They were fun and i was mobile at age 15 w/a license and travel to NY state on mine about once a week for fun.

Nice, I restored a few mini bikes back about 8 years ago. I did a '77 kawasaki KV75 mini trail. and a yamaha '77 yz80d. I got them for free from a guy cleaning out his garage. They weren't full restorations, but I did change every bolt I could, re-upholster the seats, and did full paint and pinstripe job on both. The kv75 I had to purchase a newer style motor for, and the yz80d I was lucky enough to get running.

If you or your brother ever get a junker that can be saved let me know. If its cheap enough, Id like to try my hand at another resto on a mini bike, moped ect. now that I am a bit older and have some better access to tools and supplies.

I want to get started on it already but Im waiting on a carb for it. Im probably headed out to brooklyn again this weekend so Ill mention it. You saw all the bikes in the picture, and im sure for you he could come up with something at some point for you.
