The search for the lost VIN number

One of the first things to check when buying any scooter, motor cycle or car, is of course to check the VIN number, the Vehicle Identification Number.

Totally happy with the test drive of the 180SS, I dropped checking the VIN number... which caused some concern with my mates when returning home with the beauty...

Not to concerned myself, but after a while I started feeling a bit insecure. So I took off the side bubble and started searching.

This is what I found... the VIN number was severly rusted.
Some chemical rust and paint remover was needed...
To find the numbers beneath the rust. And YES, they match the registered numbers... :-)
