New Moto Guzzi Door Mats Available Now
This may be a good consideration...the Vespa Sprint 150. Overall, it ticks all the right boxes for me...in RED or YELLOW! :1:
Beerman, I wave at all riders, including cyclists, most will return it (Harley riders are iffy) even if we�re on the Mets, and many initiate it.
Yes, but if I may observe, you're not a bloke. Just saying. Beerman
We have a new Italian in our stable! My husband saw a '17 Titanium (matte grey) Vespa GTS 300 Super when we were visiting Santa Barbara recently and fell in love. A few days surfing CL came up with a 2012 that was "spoken for" but he was allowed a test ride last Saturday. The seller called him yesterday and said the deal fell through and was he still interested? Of course he was, but he played it cool and requested a price break to bring it in line with others being offered on CL. He got what he wanted and several extras to boot! He's been eyeing every Griso we've come across so I might get him riding a Guzzi too.
I can tell it's a "guilty" pleasure - poor little thing isn't listed in your signature! Looks like a nice scooter. The downside of being a Big Active Guy, however, is that I can't whip a <50cc scooter hard enough to get out of the bicycle lane - 90 to 125cc, however, does very well.Thinking about replacing my old BSA M21, which has been my backroad bimbler for 10 years, with a neat little scooter ....Lannis
Thanks for the reminder Lannis on my signature!! It's actually a 150 (same vespa motor) so she goes pretty good. Maybe enough for the "big active guy"!!
Sorry for the "mosquito" nickname for the Mojito-understand why you would be confused.Great pic!! I see the iron on knee patches on your (?) jeans-brings back memories for sure!!Do they even make them anymore??
Here's my wife on her then new Vespa Sprint 150:
Red's the right color for a Vespa. Mine was!Lannis
My information is a little out of date, but I DID learn about 150 Vespas at a young age; me and my siblings in 1962 in front of my dad's Vespa .... Lannis
Absolutely!
Nice! Does she still ride it?
BTW, how did you two post your images? I can only post a thumbnail and I would prefer to display them larger as you have.
Two ways to post pictures here, that I know of.1) One is to use the "Add image to post" function right below the text screen. You just drag and drop your picture from your computer file, desktop, etc and add it to the post. The system will display the thumbnail - click on that and you get a bigger picture. Click on it AGAIN and you get the full size picture, 4 megabytes or whatever.2) The other is to "host" your photo somewhere like Smugmug. You go to Smugmug, copy the photo's Smugmug address, paste that address into your post, and it comes up full-size at the first go, not as a thumbnail.So I can just click on your pictures twice and get them full size (you're doing it the first way). Either way works!Lannis
I understand how the first way works but I�d been looking at the page source code to try and figure out what was going on with the second. We use Smugmug to share pics as we haven�t any family in AZ but not for general goofing around. Obviously, my HTML skill are lacking!
If you use flickr, click on that little share arrow, select "bb-code", select your desired image size, then copy the bb-code into your forum posting.
Do you think they can tell?
Vespa scooters are fun. They've refined them and are smooth to ride. A rider that knows how to use the throttle and brakes can out ride others easily on mountain roads. South Mountain would be fun on a Vespa or Metropolitan.
