I've been in a few garages that I'd be hard pressed to store trash in.

Looks like a rat or a squirrel made a nest in that space.

His Liberty he just got. Get out the power washer & power Purple mix. It'll clean up.
There is a basket that fits in there on top of that mess and it says on a sticker "NO Pets"

A few generation of mice could've made a cozy nest there.....in the garage.

I once bought a BMW R1100RT with the optional mouse nest feature in behind the rear seat where the tool kit goes. They customized the tool pouch a little. Hunter the cat took care of them.

My favorite is always: "It ran the last time I parked it here." :thumb:

I once bought a Mercury outboard on ebay that the owner said was running when it was put away two years prior. What the owner didn't say was that it was put away outside face up with no faceplate. It rained into the carburators for two whole years. I had to beat the crank out with a sledge hammer just to save the brass reed blocks, the rest of the powerhead was a rusted mass. Fortunately I was buying it for the tower and the lower unit.

2019 Piaggio Liberty 50s. 5650 miles, $1/5th of new retail. (I may not be smart, and i may not be rich, but i am Scottish)

All cleaned up…some scrunge left in the engine bay..2 rounds straight Simplegreen and a brush, rinserinse, 2 rounds of S100, rinserinse. $24 bottle of 5w-40, and rear gear oil change next

It looked to be stuck on dirt on the inside. Someone hit the mud puddles w it and parked it, never looking under the hood/cargo bay

Great ride for in and around a college town on a warm fall day, w students in town, and coeds crossing campus and sunbathing 🤔 If you park in the right spot the scooter gets as much attention as a puppy…!

Fits perfectly on a single rail bike carrier on the back of the car…

had it out all day Sunday and knocked off…. A monsterish 57 miles! 🙃

Double dose of Seafoam and an Italian tuneup every mile so far..no leaks, better throttle response and the drive belt/rollers take up from a dead stop are much better. Feels like it was completely babied and never broken in until I’ve started abusing it. Full throttle at every stop is standard to get it rolling, w a second and a half delay before forward movement per the vespa shop mechanic. It felt so weird i had him try it. Yup, that’s what they do…after full throttle it has a step down to speed things…to 20-25, then it smooths for a comfortable 25-35. Empty road i ride the lane, steep hills or heavy traffic i act like a bicycle and get off to the shoulder of the road

57 mi is a great day in that saddle, I'd guess. That front brake looks waaaaay overkill for the speed/mass of that thing, but too much brake is better than too little.
