Ghosts of scooters past
Early Allstate (1951-1954)
I've always had a thing for Allstates - always looking for the "right" one has taken me to many places - here are the ones I can remember.
Thrasher. Never should have sold it. It was pretty perfect. I must have been desperate.
1952 788-102

Sold to Natee in Thailand. He nailed the restorations - nice job Natee!

Late model 1952 with blue paint over original paint. Found in Michigan. Now in Australia.

My 1st handlebar. Traded from my friend Devin 1995. Had to sell for grad school. I cannot believe I sold those bags/horn accessory with it. This is the scooter that started the obsession for me.

Blue - terrible body work. No idea. I bought this site unseen and it was a mess.

Yellow, restored. Bought out of Nevada
1952 788-102

I cannot remember much - I think this was the first I found in trying to get a good handlebar back (after selling Devin's for graduate school).
1953 788-103

Really nice, amateur restoration. I don't know where it went.
1954 788-104
22
Found this in Florida. It had a poor restoration. I bought it because it had a speedo drive. Steel cowls and mudguard (original gear for 1954 Allstate).
Late Allstate (1955-1965)
These kept falling into my hands, usually as a package when trying to get my hands on the "right" Allstate.
This was a beautiful original. I'm just not a big fan of the VL/Struzzo era. 10/2011. Bought this out of Michigan IIRC.
1959 Allstate VNA
125cc
Total misfit. I loved this thing...all three speeds. This may have been my first scooter - otherwise it was my second. I bought it from Jay - it's how I met the Keele kids.
I have little recollection of this bike. Someone else restored it - I got it in a package. Perhaps it came from Michigan, 2010ish.

I would have kept this one but I found another that was just a little more original. I love these scoots.

Stolen by Atti Bethlenfalvi. It's common/old news that he was a shit sack. I hope he has pulled his life together.
