July 2000-Mid July Meltdown

This page is for my old friends and new friends with Burgundy Topz. Who would have thought that after flunking out of college and losing touch that we'd be lucky enough to hook up after 13 years?

Much thanks to Alex for your hospitality for putting me up for the weekend. Many thanks to the Vespa Haus crew -- David, Tommy and Mike -- for helping me by diagnosing and fixing my stator plate and timing problems. You definitely have a confirmed customer and evangelista.

Anyway, can't wait to get up there again, and you guys better get your asses down here.
