I am greatly enjoying this site and I have learned so much in just a few days. The links to manual .pdf files and parts vendors has been invaluable.
Trusting that you members are fun-loving, easy going folks with a sense of humor like myself, I submit for your approval (or reticule ), my pit bike:
It's a early 2000's Chinese scooter made by Dong Fang. It was a chopper design with high handlebars and a painfully small seat. I stripped it to the rigid frame & 250cc GY250 Honda clone engine, and started over. I call it a "Bitsa" because when asked what it is, I say "It's got bits of this and bits of that." Triumph fenders, Royal Enfield seat, and of course, a real Gilera Giubileo 98 tank.
Being a large fellow at 6'-2" (188cm) & 370lbs (168Kg), when I ride it, my "so-called" friends refer to me as a Gorilla on a Gilera. I will surprise them all when I paint the tank on my 124 project with this logo:

Re: Blasphemy: Not a Gilera!
hope the weight in kg is just an mistake while converting the lbs
At the first sight i thought ... oh what a nice old Gilera
Looks like it has left a motorcycle fabrication some years ago. Just like it is now
ciao Joachim

Yes, typo. 168Kg. I'm as aerodynamic as a circus tent.
