Posted August 22, 201014 yr Moderator well you know how it goes. managed to talk the wife around this as a bike for my son when he is 16(in 3 years) so i got meself a gilera 50cc thingy, looks cool and will be my next project when I finish the tracker! meanwhile I can start collecting parts info etc. anyone know what model it is?
August 22, 201014 yr Moderator I like it Drewpy but you know me and my love of mopeds. It's a Gilera touring I think, as opposed to the trail version with cross braced bar, high front guard and upswept exhaust or the Enduro with its number plates and even higher upswept pipe.

August 22, 201014 yr Moderator me too http://www.wheelsofitaly.com/wiki/index.php/Gilera http://www.wheelsofitaly.com/wiki/index.php/File:Gilera_3_001.jpg I can see it's not a 'Touring moped' so it looks to be a 'Touring RS' The seat looks short though? it does have pillion pegs.
August 22, 201014 yr Moderator Nice project drewpy. Don't think it will make it to squires though POT KETTLE BLACK

August 23, 201014 yr Author Moderator Nice project drewpy. Don't think it will make it to squires though its actually about 3 miles from squires, so technically its already there
August 23, 201014 yr its actually about 3 miles from squires, so technically its already there bah, thats cheating
August 23, 201014 yr cheers Paul, did a quick googley should be a good resto when i get round to it Nice wee bike Andrew, oi likes looks like the seat has been chopped to provide a small rack?
August 23, 201014 yr pardon me for bursting your bubble,,,,but it's a shed. but good luck with the re-build anyway
August 24, 201014 yr Author Moderator pardon me for bursting your bubble,,,,but it's a shed. but good luck with the re-build anyway thats the point Kev, Its a long term project for my son for when he's 16. Already got a suppiler (bob wright)and the spares situation is really healthy
August 24, 201014 yr Nice find drewps, me likes it !!! looks like ya could get a bigger engine in there if ya wanted......theres plenty a room.
August 24, 201014 yr Moderator Looks like a good project Drewps, the last RD i restored was worse than that, and he will have a decent bike rather than a twist and go hairdrier
August 28, 201014 yr Author Moderator done a bit more digging and have found out its an Italian import.
August 28, 201014 yr Moderator Thats the one Drewpy, only with optional extra pillion pegs for an intimate ride
August 28, 201014 yr iff you can make it look like that,,,your lad will be real proud...................
