So I thought I'd better introduce myself before I become guilty of being an internet troll living vicariously through other's posts.
I started out vehicular life on my fathers old Vespa GT150, it's like a 1980's model, not entirely sure. That was oh... some 20 years ago. At 18 I had the choice of getting a car lisence and sharing a car with my brother, OR getting a bike lisence and riding Dad's Vespa to college. I opted for the Vespa. And for a blessed year I rode the Vespa almost daily. My bike life then went haywire and I've ridden a wide array of bikes. My last one was a BMW F650GS as my boyfriend rides a Honda Africa Twin and I wanted to keep up. I had some interesting times on the GS but I didn't have real love for it. So recently I sold it on and started oggling the new Vespa's. That's where the Modern Vespa community really helped out with your enthusiastic postings of all things Vespa. With thanks to my dear boyfriend, I am now the proud owner of a "new to me" 2011 Vespa GTS300 Supersport and I simply can't be happier!!
It took 21 years, but I'm back on a Vespa and can't see that changing any time soon. Now to kit this baby up, she's still stock standard. [/img]
