Introduce this is my beloved Vespa motorbike. This motorbike was made in Italy in 1883 called the Vespa PX with 150cc power and a 2-stroke fuel engine.
I've been using this bike for nearly 5 years. My interest in this bike is very much and I will tell you everything here.

Since childhood I have started to be interested in this old motorbike, because my grandfather used to ride on a Vespa motorbike so I often saw him. In addition to the unique shape of this motorbike, it also has its own characteristics, namely the greetings of each user. So every time my grandfather drove it on the highway and met other people who also used Vespa motorbikes, he would say hello and vice versa regardless of age or type of motorbike. I am even more happy because I can add relatives and friends wherever they are.

My desire to have an old motorbike was even closer when I finished studying at school and I was already working to earn my own income.
I started saving money, preparing capital to buy the Vespa motorbike that I had wanted for a long time. and finally I found a friend at the place where I worked who also really liked the old motorbike. Not long after, I was invited to his house to see the Vespa he had.

I was interested in one of the Vespa in his house, even though it was broken and dirty, but I liked it the first time I saw it. I also tried to buy the motorbike from my friend, and I was very happy when he let me buy his motorbike.
From there I started to learn how to fix from the start a machine that I can't live until now I can use.

The first thing I did after I had it was to take apart the engine one by one and check all the damaged tools on the motorbike. One by one I finally started to assemble the damaged motorbike again. I bought so much that it cost me a lot to fix it. Until now I can ride the bike very comfortably.

I am very happy to take care of it, I wash it 2 times every week and change the oil every 1 month so that the resulting performance is optimal. Not inferior to other modern motorbikes, this motorbike is also quite fast when driven due to very tight maintenance so that this old engine can compete with today's young machines.

But sometimes this old machine experiences a sudden breakdown while traveling. Because of that I always carry complete equipment when traveling far. Examples of damage that often occurs in this old Vespa motorbike are dead spark plugs and gasoline which is often clogged with dirt.

As this is an old machine so I keep fixing it and won't complain when this machine takes a sudden breakdown on the way. I also always carry a spare tire with me so that at any time I have a tire leak. I can replace it myself on the road when I am away from the motorbike repair shop.

Since I used this old Vespa motorbike, I learned a lot that caring is the key to our love for an object or vehicle that we care about. That's why I don't want to buy another vehicle because I'm comfortable with the vehicle I'm currently using.
I want to ride it wherever I travel, at work, on vacation, and when I am I'm on a date with my girlfriend.

So for all of you who want to use this old Vespa motorbike or other old machine, it is hoped that a lot of learning about the engine is first so that when the motorbike or car we are driving is damaged in a critical situation we can repair it ourselves.
