Vespa/Scooter love
Recently picked up a Vespa Sprint. Added top case, crash bars, black short side mirrors and a side kick stand. Anyone else ride a scooter?

Congrats on your new Vespa.
Yes, I have a 2020 Vespa GTS and a 2011 Vespa LX150ie. I have sold all my big motorcycles. |

Michelle, if you haven't already, check out ModernVespa.com.
Great forum, just like this one and a wealth of knowledge. You would be more than welcome there. |

Nice Vespa Michelle, have fun, stay safe.
I owned a Lambretta GT200 in the 60's. As a teenager, my first motorised transport...what a hoot! Those small wheels and 'nylon' tyres, were treacherous on wet roads. Not my photo'. Cameras hadn't been invented! |

Congratulations Michelle
We ride them while on vacation and everything we get home we say we should buy one They are a lot of fun and so practical, especially for city dwellers. I could see us using them here in our village as well. There’s just something so cool about a Vespa |

We ride them on vacations as well and finally did buy one for summer use in Jersey. A Vespa 150 . Green with yellow stripe. Still on the battery tender for now, though I saw many out yesterday at a local car show.

I rode a Vespa when I was a teen and like many others have said already, rent one whilst on vacation in beach locales. Love them

Congratulations, looks sweet!
Growing up in Italy I rode all sorts of scooters (moped for Americans), including Vespas, but never owned one. They are very practical for urban mobility, and make things fun. I now have a motorcycle but ride it very sporadically, in fact I keep wondering why I am keeping it... but riding is such a joy! |

Great looking Vespa's. I had thought about a GTS but I won't be going on the freeway so the 150 Sprint was perfect for me. Love the color of the 150.

Cool vintage Vespa. I see these around the city every now and then.

Looks like fun.
Apparently some people like to accessorize them. Scotty may have gone a bit overboard.

Thanks. The GTS has a lot of giddy up. I never take it on the freeway, just secondary roads. The 150 is just perfect for most of the riding I do around town.

Big and little Hondas. 25-ish years ago I picked up this little 49cc Honda Spree with the intent to use it for buzzing around the campground. Well life happened, I never registered it and we never really camped very much. The Spree is complete and all stock and now I'm thinking it might be a hoot to get it running again to buzz around the neighborhood for no good reason.
