Forums up, and a new look!
5Hey all,
Just got the site through a massive overhaul with a shiny new theme and a new page setup with forums so everyone can share pictures of their Pigeons, ask questions and hopefully get an answer. I’m not sure what to really expect as far as traffic on the forums, so I guess we shall wait and see.

Odd Pigeon
1Not sure exactly what’s going on here with this odd ball.
It doesn’t look like a factory job like the golf carts they made, maybe its the ugly duckling offspring of a Tote Goat and a Pigeon. Kind of think its a home built since the frame looks to be grafted to what was left of the pigeons forward frame. At any rate heres a link to the craigslist ad if your feeling adventurous.
Small update

More pictures added to the gallery. Nothing to crazy but having more things to look at is always nice. As far as I know the gallery here may be the biggest collection of Silver Pigeon Images on the web. Also, I will be trying to get a page up that list replacement parts and where to get them hopefully. I don’t want it to take anything away from the other Pigeon site out there so I’m still not quite sure on how it will be laid out yet.

0Not Pigeon related, but this cracked me up. If your a fan of BBC’s Top Gear it will make you laugh even more.
| 1976 Vespa Rally 200, kitted | |
| Description | Yes, its the Achewood Rally: you can see it in the gallery at Achewood . com Chris has said it is the only commission he will ever do. It is a rare artifact that will appreciate over time. Other provenance: It is a Redwood City (home of Achewood) bike. Viva Vespa dealer sticker still visible, 1976 community college parking sticker. Original paint, with patina of UV exposure and weathering. Seat is perfectly crazed and cracked. Unlike pics, it comes with the original California Blue Plate. If you have no appreciation of original surfaces, I do not wish to hear of it. The Vespa anorak stats: everything has been done. Mallossi 210 kit, new cut crank, sito exhaust, lightened flywheel, P200 stator and electrics (NO femsatronic). New Michelin tyres and brakes, new cables inner and outer, new wiring. Speedo does not work, needs gear in VDO, and DOT turnsignals have been removed. Work has been done by scooter centre and moto amore and they will stand by all enhancements. The ride: It is so fast that Jeremy Clarkson maintains a running dialog as you drive. Mostly yelling “Oh my god, I’m going to die”. The engine is overpowered for the brakes and handling. Please conduct yourself accordingly. It is loud, it vibrates, and your neighbors will hate you. |
