About two years ago I "restored" a nice vespa GL-a 150. Bought it in pieces and powdercoated it because I was planning to use it as a daily driver. I drove it a few months but than sold it in order to buy my GS.
Anyways I was working recently at Maskes till I spotted a nice blue GL, my ex... It was in the row for reparations sow maybe I had done something wrong? Couldn't imagine it had let the "new" owner down. And I was right, turns out the new owner hasn't treated her very nice... He actually took the daily driving thing a bit too literally and drove it all winter through the snow and salt... All the chrome was corroded and he wasn't able to shift gears anymore because the gearlever was so heavily corroded... Well, at least that wasn't in my mind for a daily driver! At least the powdercoating had done its work very well, no rust at the body or whatsoever. Still a pain though, I put my love in it and someone is trying to ruin it... He didn't even wash or polish her...
My ex in better times
