I have a lot of items due in from India over the next couple of weeks. October 17, - UPDATE - The stainless steel side trim turned out to be no good - it is stainless rod bent to the correct shape, but not flattened like the original trim. Worse, it is discolored and deformed every spot they inserted a stud to hold it on.
I have ordered aluminum trim from Scooterworks instead. October 7, - It was a clear, sunny day with very little traffic about, so I decided to take Audrey for her first real ride - about 3.
I also wore my shiny new helmet. The Vespa feels a lot faster than it probably is, but I was able to maintain the posted 35 mph even going over a railway bridge. It shifts great and runs very smoothly - good brakes, too. One new glitch cropped up last night - the choke cable is broken, so pulling the knob doesn't do anything. It explains the hard cold start and one-kick warm start.
I have a new cable on order. In any case, Audrey was fun to ride! Best bud Chip told me about them, and it turns out they have most of the parts for Audrey, including some nice accessories. I was able to replace the pretty terrible clamp-type mirror mounts with a solid bar mount that attaches under the headset, and also got a custom-fit mat for the floorboards to keep them from getting scuffed. The scooter got registered yesterday, and is already insured with Hagerty. I also picked up a new motorcycle helmet.
She may get out for her first real ride tomorrow! September 30, - And so it begins - though in truth there is not much more I need to get. The four items shown are on the way from the UK and India: cowl side trim dented on the Vespa , Headlight rim rusted on the Vespa , Speedometer outer trim corroded on the Vespa , and a tool roll nice to have. I have found over the years that I always regret waiting to fix something up, so now I take the plunge and try to get everything done right up front.
So far I have been unable to find parts at a Vespa specialist, but eBay came to the rescue with every part I looked for. I should have it all in a couple of weeks. Next, I have to look for a motorcycle helmet - the bicycle helmet I have won't cut it. September 29, - The Vespa motor scooter is one of the most iconic vehicles in the world, a standard for any movie or show set in Italy and sold all over the globe. I had one way back in , painted blue and gray to match the base commander's car complete with stenciled Air Force letters and a little flag with an airman's stripe to match the General's single star.
I stumbled across this gem a few weeks ago and went through my usual argument with myself: "You don't need another vehicle! Anyway, after some schedule juggling with the sellers, I was able to look at it today, no small feat since it was located about 60 miles away. All Rights Reserved.
