If you own a GT/GTS vespa, you really should be getting these things right now. <br />They are simply ROCKING. I also have the brembo front brake kit from Jettin on the new GTS and it is completely killer.

In Brooklyn.<br>This was a couple of days ago.<br>It's nice to be rolling on a 2009gts, but I have some serious plans <br>for this guy.<br>I am looking for a frame if you k ow of anyone selling a gts frame. <br>2007 or 08 would be best. Project reports will start soon. Phase one: <br>flowing the head, and a pm tuning exhaust to start. Need to have an <br>exhaust custom made though for the stuff I have in store...Dan Hamiltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04853865461242962856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-535895158260057767.post-85027771630846327672008-09-27T19:51:00.000-04:002008-09-27T19:55:50.740-04:00Vespa<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8KiC7vOBzi6YoMc__7lOPIsUdnlMqDMFDUmkHKrDW0DwTJ6gVvqIXLQumw656HLV7MQmqID_Xfg5twIjhHEf9Zz2ThwYLjRVGOvsitNAXFtBCesTIui1JB70LqMYXmVs2Lqcnj9Kzdo9W/s1600-h/photo-750743.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8KiC7vOBzi6YoMc__7lOPIsUdnlMqDMFDUmkHKrDW0DwTJ6gVvqIXLQumw656HLV7MQmqID_Xfg5twIjhHEf9Zz2ThwYLjRVGOvsitNAXFtBCesTIui1JB70LqMYXmVs2Lqcnj9Kzdo9W/s320/photo-750743.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250854146533421026" /></a></p>Dan Hamiltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04853865461242962856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-535895158260057767.post-67341445485005746342008-09-27T08:17:00.000-04:002008-09-27T08:22:51.682-04:00Whites ferry.<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivf-y1kqTTLnvWDNpw1EvESl3dfOfX6O24s9tGgmt4N68qv8bsBjoWQFvLWsKdGkuosywJN8a3Jo0qbryfn9hQhP18OQOUh6gp6C29bzRS4efhnZQPI9CVzCp23cu4-Y0su8x693HYiY58/s1600-h/photo-771684.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivf-y1kqTTLnvWDNpw1EvESl3dfOfX6O24s9tGgmt4N68qv8bsBjoWQFvLWsKdGkuosywJN8a3Jo0qbryfn9hQhP18OQOUh6gp6C29bzRS4efhnZQPI9CVzCp23cu4-Y0su8x693HYiY58/s320/photo-771684.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250675564817468834" /></a></p>Across the Potomac.

Or anyone that knows these roads better than me... I will be test riding some of these routes soon. email me, or leave comments here. Remember this is just a rough sketch of what the actual route would be for the Gumball Rally. Just to get my brain around what a 350- 400 mile loop looks like and where it could take us. Trying to get rural quick is tough in the NYC area...<br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=11th+Ave%2FRT-9A&daddr=RT-5%2FState+RT+5+to:Russell+Ave+to:Long+Hill+Rd+to:Hamburg+Turnpike%2FPaterson+Hamburg+Turnpike+to:Route+23+N%2FRT-23%2FState+RT+23+to:RT-97+to:County+Rte+113%2FNarrowsburg+Rd%2FRT-52+to:County+Rd+94%2FCounty+Rte+94+to:County+Rte+92%2FTennanah+Lake+Rd+to:RT-17+W+to:RT-17%2FSouthern+Tier+Expy+E+to:S+Main+St%2FRT-52%2FRT-55+to:Neversink+Rd%2FRT-55+to:RT-55+to:Freedom+Plains+Rd%2FRT-55+to:County+Rte+21%2FPeekskill+Hollow+Rd+to:County+Rte+21%2FPeekskill+Hollow+Rd+to:Church+Rd%2FCounty+Rte+22+to:County+Rte+20%2FOscawana+Lake+Rd+to:Roa+Hook+Rd%2FUS-9+to:US-9+S+to:Sprain+Brook+Pkwy+S+to:Saw+Mill+River+Pkwy+S+to:12th+Ave%2FRT-9A&hl=en&geocode=FQKxbQIdLriW-w%3BFRwsbwIdTNaW-w%3BFdd4cQIdvBGU-w%3BFRyicQIdfB2T-w%3BFY7QcQId-GGR-w%3BFdqfdAIdUsqN-w%3BFdXGegIdeyKH-w%3BFfYXfAIdqrmH-w%3BFd0wfgIdRieG-w%3BFajVfwIdyNGI-w%3BFfB-fwIdejyK-w%3BFey6fgIdiAqL-w%3BFZLFfQIdqoOL-w%3BFfa1fgIdfPqN-w%3BFZzUfQIdoDOQ-w%3BFXzYewIdiLWZ-w%3BFeyydwIdKN6Z-w%3BFYRrdwIdsoaZ-w%3BFVA2dwIdxhiZ-w%3BFfT7dgId6tGY-w%3BFQg-dgIdeOqX-w%3BFdI-dQIdlCeY-w%3BFQPOcQIdK3OZ-w%3BFUZRcAIdXp-Y-w%3BFYwIbgIdLOKW-w&mra=dpe&via=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23&sll=40.915848,-73.816795&sspn=0.146843,0.306931&ie=UTF8&s=AARTsJrnQIdsNOYUqhDbbcfoIZC2LwH_Pg&ll=41.31495,-74.289551&spn=1.444046,2.334595&z=8&output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=11th+Ave%2FRT-9A&daddr=RT-5%2FState+RT+5+to:Russell+Ave+to:Long+Hill+Rd+to:Hamburg+Turnpike%2FPaterson+Hamburg+Turnpike+to:Route+23+N%2FRT-23%2FState+RT+23+to:RT-97+to:County+Rte+113%2FNarrowsburg+Rd%2FRT-52+to:County+Rd+94%2FCounty+Rte+94+to:County+Rte+92%2FTennanah+Lake+Rd+to:RT-17+W+to:RT-17%2FSouthern+Tier+Expy+E+to:S+Main+St%2FRT-52%2FRT-55+to:Neversink+Rd%2FRT-55+to:RT-55+to:Freedom+Plains+Rd%2FRT-55+to:County+Rte+21%2FPeekskill+Hollow+Rd+to:County+Rte+21%2FPeekskill+Hollow+Rd+to:Church+Rd%2FCounty+Rte+22+to:County+Rte+20%2FOscawana+Lake+Rd+to:Roa+Hook+Rd%2FUS-9+to:US-9+S+to:Sprain+Brook+Pkwy+S+to:Saw+Mill+River+Pkwy+S+to:12th+Ave%2FRT-9A&hl=en&geocode=FQKxbQIdLriW-w%3BFRwsbwIdTNaW-w%3BFdd4cQIdvBGU-w%3BFRyicQIdfB2T-w%3BFY7QcQId-GGR-w%3BFdqfdAIdUsqN-w%3BFdXGegIdeyKH-w%3BFfYXfAIdqrmH-w%3BFd0wfgIdRieG-w%3BFajVfwIdyNGI-w%3BFfB-fwIdejyK-w%3BFey6fgIdiAqL-w%3BFZLFfQIdqoOL-w%3BFfa1fgIdfPqN-w%3BFZzUfQIdoDOQ-w%3BFXzYewIdiLWZ-w%3BFeyydwIdKN6Z-w%3BFYRrdwIdsoaZ-w%3BFVA2dwIdxhiZ-w%3BFfT7dgId6tGY-w%3BFQg-dgIdeOqX-w%3BFdI-dQIdlCeY-w%3BFQPOcQIdK3OZ-w%3BFUZRcAIdXp-Y-w%3BFYwIbgIdLOKW-w&mra=dpe&via=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23&sll=40.915848,-73.816795&sspn=0.146843,0.306931&ie=UTF8&ll=41.31495,-74.289551&spn=1.444046,2.334595&z=8&source=embed" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small>Joel Hamiltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07972495159491838783noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-535895158260057767.post-5732210033311719142008-09-26T10:32:00.001-04:002008-09-26T10:32:47.863-04:00Mt Hamilton.<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigAVYN41GgKnSX0A4V6jS4FqI2ele3mBCDJjuWeshUJ27gH1dzbzNcgG49-7oFRT47fZf6TO9nFvXJbPI0qRpIy2gYRTVECUg87_0J5LQ6E7nAAl4I3zG7vW4mrAn5p7_8-vzdpsNY_9Cb/s1600-h/IMG_3465-767865.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigAVYN41GgKnSX0A4V6jS4FqI2ele3mBCDJjuWeshUJ27gH1dzbzNcgG49-7oFRT47fZf6TO9nFvXJbPI0qRpIy2gYRTVECUg87_0J5LQ6E7nAAl4I3zG7vW4mrAn5p7_8-vzdpsNY_9Cb/s320/IMG_3465-767865.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250337963943763586" /></a></p>The First day.

I gave the very <br>bent frame to a guy collecting metal for scrap, and he was really <br>psyched about it. That felt really good. I knew I had doubled his <br>take for the day, which was in the shopping cart you see there. He <br>was stripping old PCB's out of an old computer to get the frame metal <br>when I rolled up in the Brooklynbretta van with Frank. I am glad <br>about that.<br>Then I took all the stuff I salvaged from the poor bike and brought <br>it to my storage space, which is a borg-like hive near the BQE. If <br>the borg were hassidic, I guess.<br>It just looked surreal to me. The other wheel is being sent from <br>vespa St. Louis, where in the confusion of the motor swaps and <br>craziness that bordered on wartime ER freaking out at points... it <br>was forgotten there.<br>going for a ride with some NYSC guys in a minute. Its nice to be back <br>in Brooklyn, where my GTS lived and now is laid to rest. RIP, you <br>were a great bike, even if you did throw me into the desert at almost <br>70 mph!Dan Hamiltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04853865461242962856noreply@blogger.com2
