- On the anniversary of what would have been the 16th Big Easy Weekender Scooter Rally here's a look at the raffle scooter from the 6th BEW held in New Orleans.
This 1974 Femsatronic Rally 200 was the big prize back in 2013. Its been sitting for some amount of years from a blown clutch side seal and and full of ethanol fuel that did a number on this ol girl.
I strip and rebuild the engine, and bring her back to life to triumphantly traverse the pot hole laden streets of the Big Easy once more.

Excellent work sir
Some of the best scooter content on the web. Your videos aren't so much instructional as they are like going up the alley to hang out with your buds. Still a lot of good information and a running commentary on the victories and small frustrations to be found working on Vespas. Really a pleasant way to spend a half hour or so. And I sometimes learn something. Kudos and Thanks.
Thanks! Trying to just have fun with it. Two hobbies in one kind of a thing.
I was happy to see new material....always great content to play in the background...can't tell you how many times I played the mar-di-gra videos while doing paperwork...thanks for taking the the time to post...
That was excellent, what a beautiful Rally
Thanks! Lots of hard work on the video and the scooter
Another great video, thanks!
Eventually getting my 75 Rally Femsa up n running after I layed it up in 2013. Binning the 6v Femsa system and going 12v with an uprated engine mossy sport 225 😊
Nice job brother, it lives to fight another day :D Best Regards from Cornwall England. Hope you had a great Mardi Gras too :D
Yes Indeed! I had a great Mardi Gras in fact. Absolutely beautiful day to run around town in a costume.
Like your running stand. Greetings from Vienna Austria 🛵
Its pretty clutch sometimes. I need to make one or figure out how to adapt mine for a smallframe engine!
Great news !!! More content
Doing what I can!
Just heard the news on the tornado, I hope you are doing okay, prayers are with you
Thanks, I'm fine though. The tornado hit about 4 hours away from me north of Jackson.
Glad to hear that
Thinners to clean tank. Pool acid to clean rust. Red etch primer of best quality to stop rust. 15 years of experience 😂
Test etch primer with gasoline first. South africa etch primer works well. Even after 6 years. No issue
Or, save all that time and energy, and chemicals...
