Modern Vespa

I’d like a couple of the small ones!

Please count me in.

count me in for a small with web address

Just buy a Marthas Vineyard sticker
thats what I have

I have requested a quote for 3" X 2" MV stickers identical to the ones that used to be available here.

Once I get the quote I will post the anticipated cost including postage to the usual places (Canada, US, UK, EU, Australia, New Zealand, etc.

I will then send private messages to those of you who have expressed an interest in MV stickers.

I will be doing this as a volunteer, and will not be profiting from the stickers.

I estimate that the cost will look something like this:

CAD$0.97 for the sticker plus postage:

Canada: Sticker $0.97 + postage $0.90 = CAD$1.87
US: Sticker $0.97 + postage $1.27 = CAD$2.24 = USD$1.66
UK: Sticker $0.97 + postage $2.65 = CAD$3.62 = GBP£2.12
EU: Sticker $0.97 + postage $2.65 = CAD$3.62 = EUR€2.40
Australia: Sticker $0.97 + postage $2.65 = CAD$3.62 = AUS$3.88
New Zealand: Sticker $0.97 + postage $2.65 = CAD$3.62 = $4.10

I plan to order 100 to start. There are volume discounts, if demand grows the cost will drop.

Best wishes to all.

I will take a couple when you get them

Thanks for doing this!

This may be more work than you think, add some profit in. Jess use to have groups of people help him with the sticker mailings. Just Say'n

Thanks Web-tech.

If it gets to be an unwelcome burden I'll re-consider.

Right now I tally ~20 stickers have been requested.

I would like to join the list also; a couple of each.

Due decalcomanie per favore.

Two decals please

Though I still don’t ride a Vespa, put me down for a few. I’ll gladly round up payment to the next even dollar amount per each.

2 to Saskatchewan please.
Thanks
Neil

With a little luck the MV sticker order goes in today.

Will keep every one posted, once I have the pricing nailed, then request PMs. I think PayPal will be the method of payment. I have never done it before to receive payment, only paid for stuff.

I figure if Bill Dog did it, hopefully so can I

Stay tuned...

Hi David,
For us Toronto bunch, could we meet up and give you cold hard cash instead? Could be a fun excuse?

Great idea! I'm on board with that.

That would be great.

I have sometimes toyed with the idea of regular Vespa flashmobs. I'd be up for that too!

When I moved to Toronto I joined the Toronto Moto Scooter Club. There are some Vespa members but we are in the minority.

I am also a member of the Vespa Club of Canada.

It would be very cool to get a Vespa meetup going.

Say the word and we will show up. We should also invite Lou from Vespa Toronto to see if we could get some sticker swag also? Just a thought. Lou, are you following this thread 😂

I want a couple of the large stickers if I'm not too late.
Tony in Tn

The "party" hasn't started yet. You're fine.

I need at least 10, 3 for me and the rest to share/gift and/or donate to the upcoming Missouri Loves Company rally the end of September....

That reminds me: will someone update that ad banner for the MLC rally? The one for 2016 is still up.

The order has been placed and the stickers (small ones 2"W X 3"H) are expected in my hands by June 21, 2019.

I now have revised costing based on the sticker cost as follows:

CAD$0.63 for the sticker plus postage as per below:

Canada: Sticker $0.63 + postage $1.25 = CAD$1.88
US: Sticker $0.63 + postage $1.45 = CAD$2.08 = USD$1.57
UK: Sticker $0.63 + postage $2.65 = CAD$3.28 = GBP£1.95
EU: Sticker $0.63 + postage $2.65 = CAD$3.28 = EUR€2.18
Australia: Sticker $0.63 + postage $2.65 = CAD$3.28 = AUS$3.54
New Zealand: Sticker $0.63 + postage $2.65 = CAD$3.28 = $3.75

Many of you have expressed a wish for 2 or 3 stickers, I doubt that will increase the postage, only the cost of the stickers (2 or 3 X CAD$0.63).

I will make a trip to the post office soon with an envelope with multiple stickers to see what the actual postage will be and how multiple stickers affect it.

That's all for now.

Perhaps now would be a good time to PM me with addresses and numbers of stickers.

The initial supply will be 200. Once that is gone (or seems to be on its way), I'll gauge demand for a fresh supply.

Best wishes to all MVers! We rule on two wheels (with style and good humour)!

Oh hell at that price give me one of each :-p

Or just give me a couple next time we meet and I'll consider that payment for heated glove liner rental and going to your friends bridal shower and not charging anything To be fair she did offer to pay but I couldn't bring my heart to do it. You know , the romantic me and all....

Thanks for doing this David, I know we all appreciate it.

Hi David,

PM sent with my contact info. Can we still plan a get together? I think I would like one of each, please.

Very funny Sean. Plus I sank pretty low, giving you stickers that I then begged to get back, which you graciously agreed to do.

I suppose that running this little MV sticker supply racket at cost out the side door is a suitable penance

what size did you end up ordering?

It's OK, see it all works out just fine in the end Karma seems to work well both here and in real life.

I got the small size ~2"H X 3"W.

Update as of 20190612@12h08: 28 of 204 stickers spoken for via PM.

When I get the stickers on or around June 21, I will scour the thread to PM those of you who expressed a wish for stickers but didn't PM me.

Happy June folks, get out and ride!

Hmmm...well is it legal to put one of these on a BV? I want to be in the club too. So mark me down too please.

Just bumping the thread with an update.

I am posting a running tally of my volunteer offer of small MV stickers at the top of this thread, with a short description of how to get stickers if you are interested.

Warm regards to all fellow MVers from the Great White North!

Now that I have the stickers in hand, I will be reaching out to everyone on my list with final pricing (which I will come back and post here as well) and PayPal instructions.

The stickers are here.

I went to the post office with an envelope and some stickers and for the usual 1, 2 or 3 stickers here is definitive pricing. For those of you who are already on my list, I'll be reaching out momentarily with your cost and PayPal information.

It's CAD$0.78 for the sticker plus postage as per below:

Canada: Sticker $0.78 + postage $1.05 = CAD$1.83
US: Sticker $0.78 + postage $1.27 = CAD$2.05 = USD$1.53
UK: Sticker $0.78 + postage $2.65 = CAD$3.43 = GBP£2.04
EU: Sticker $0.78 + postage $2.65 = CAD$3.43 = EUR€2.30
Australia: Sticker $0.78 + postage $2.65 = CAD$3.43 = AUS$3.74
New Zealand: Sticker $0.78 + postage $2.65 = CAD$3.43 = $3.94

That pricing holds for up to 12 stickers and the pricing is approximate in currencies other than CAD$.

For information on the status of existing orders in relation to the supply of stickers, see the first post in this thread.

Now if you'll pardon me, I have a bunch of PMs to send

I was wondering if it was ethical to put a sticker with ModernVespa written on it on a non-Vespa scooter even if the forum goes beyond the meaning and today only Vespa can identify the original while saying ModernVespa means "also" to mean the rest.
So ... sticking a MV sticker on any scooter makes it a Vespa-like one automatically?

PS: how much I would like to be able to install a spring-loaded luggage rack like the one in the picture, on my Yamaha "bidet".

Top of the web page, little link button to message, send the message with your PayPal email address so an invoice can be sent to you along with how many stickers you want, pay the invoice. I am seeing a lot of posts here about how many stickers are wanted, private message and mine was in my inbox here this morning so hopefully when I come home from work I will have that invoice and get it paid. Make it easy for the guy, and maybe once all orders are filled I can afford a bunch more stickers for the rally swag bags, and I will remind Myke to update that Missouri Loves Company rally banner.

Yes of course.

Membership in this forum shifts like the sands. Vespas brought most people here, but the actual Vespas came and went, but the people stayed. Today “Vespa” is as much a meme as it is a tangible two-wheel vehicle.

So slap a sticker on that Yamaha! Besides, based on my visits to Italy, and Rome in particular, the Yamahas outnumber all other two-wheelers combined.

Thank you, you are very kind to reply to me.

The first batch of MV stickers was dropped off at the post office, and here was the drop off method.

20/30 requests have been fulfilled. The remaining ten are pending details, payment, or both.

I just want to say thanks again David and it was great to meet see you again and meet the guys. I wish we had more time but clients have a bad habit of getting in the way. At least I managed to slip in to The Bay prior to replace my coffee grinder at home that is on its way out.

I'm also glad it looks like the Niagara trip is a bit closer to being a reality. Let's start organizing this in the nearish future to see how many we can get interested. I'm thinking a good day of riding followed by dinner at one of the great restaurants that can be found in wine country. Plenty of hotels and B&B's out there for those that want to stay the night which is what I will be doing. Not to mention I imagine there will be beer and wine on the agenda.

Looks great on Donatello.
