Modern Vespa

i was just wondering how many members have kept the same avatar since enrollment in modern vespa. (besides me and jess)

i've been changing mine on a whim since i joined.

have had a couple different pictures of myself, my scooter, a winter themed vespa poster i found, and this one of domo riding a scooter with toilet paper.

i just can't make up my mind.

Winning
I change my avatar as often as I change my underwear........once a year!

I have been using the same one since I joined over two years ago.

Same since I joined in '06. Hasn't Jess's avatar changed clothes at least once?

Oh yes...

You're going to pay for that, Marty.

My avatar takes after my underwear too.

I never change my underwear.



Same avatar since I joined, 11/2005.

You've inspired me to change my stock 250 GTS picture. Just wish I had something a little bit more seasonal.

First forum I ever used an avatar on, and it took a while to settle on one. But it is several years old. I do havea christmas version I change to and have used for 5 years.

Same avatar, same me. Will probably never change it.

I made it. I'm keepin' it.

When we were at Amerivespa, we talked about having t-shirts with our Avatars printed on them so people might recognize us.

I used one avatar here the first few years without changing, then after I moved back to the US (from Australia) a few years ago, when I changed/updated my profile to reflect new country and different scooters (sold scooters there when moving, bought different ones here), I swapped to this avatar (showing girl on red geared bike, like me - the GTV was a recent unplanned addition), this avatar has been unchanged since mid 2010 (two and a half years?)

Then again, since I read (lurk) quite a lot, but rarely post, it was probably not so noticeable when I changed avatars.

I won't chnage mine. It was given to me by a very special mod whose not around very much, well not at all i should say. I can find my post on a page easily with it. I don't like when people change theirs. I know who they are before looking at the text by just looking at the avatar. Change is so overrated.

Okay....haven't change mine the entire time...all two months Still, looking for a different one, as I just grabbed a stock picture just to have one....

Let's see now.......

Riding with the same shame for the last 3 or 4 years.....

This is my third, possibly fourth, but all have been Paperino (Italian for Donald Duck). This one will stick. Unless the scoot breaks again and I'm without it, then I'll use the sad Pap as I had been using for too long until just recently when it got back on the road.

I can't tell. maybe 3 or 4 changes.

normally has to do with some sort of scooter related activity

Mine's been the same since "Day 1". I've thought about changing it, but I'd do something custom, and it just never crosses my mind to get the camera out when I'm tinkering with the scooter.

Just FYI Jess, When you start out as a nakkid chick on a scooter, you got no place to go but up.

I think I may have changed mine briefly a couple years ago, but came back to the original.
Somebody has to scare the mice and rats away.

Too many people thought I was a woman when I was using Hope Solo as an avatar... Not I just look like a fruity guy!

I changed mine twice since I've been aboard I think. At first it was a generic scooter. Then for a bit it was a picture of me on what was then a black 300 Super. That summer we went to Italy and had our picture taken at a friend's restaurant in Pisa sitting on the chef's P series. I get so much joy out of the picture that it became my avatar and the cover of about every thank you card I write.

I wish I could explain it better. But its a picture that every time I see it brings a smile to my face.

Well, I'm pretty new here. But I've changed my avatar once already. I kind of like this one. I think i"ll keep it.

I don't use an avatar - I really look like that, dumb dumb.

I haven't settled on one I like yet.

Same since I started...Tiger Boy was just keeping me company when I signed on.

I can't remember.

I changed mine according to my latest ride. Don't think it'll be changing again any time soon

Once I got around to creating one, it has only been this one for me.....I took the picture too.

So she is wearing nothing behind that blue/purple handlebar!!!

I have changed mine a few times. Once I picked a picture of a an LX horn cover that had been modified to look like a GTS (unbeknownst to me). I used it for a few months until the guy who made the mod got upset and asked me to remove it. I would prefer that everyone had their own picture instead of having to wear avatar T-shirts at AV. But it seems that having your own picture is a bad karma magnet. I would be much better off without my cheesy smile and irreverent head tilt. Just saying!

Just wondering, but what do you think the purple hats says? I'd go back to having folks think I was a woman.

Kidding of course..

We drove through your part of the world yesterday on our way to pickup a family member and head to Koslak's. First time in the big city in a year, traffic and drivers didn't get any better. Ride safe and Happy Holidays from Lower Lumpa, the tropical corner of Minnesota.

I'm not sure. Maybe once I used a different bat. I have had this one for a looooong time.

I change my Avatar, when ever i feel like it
but all will be one of my bikes ive owned

this .................

then then i repainted it so it became the one on the left without the rip ......... then i got rear ended

Sama avitar since 08, probably won't change it.

I see Bettie has returned.

I tried changing it once in college, but it was just a phase.

Did you drive through when it was 65 degrees or when it was 25 and ice covered?


BTW: 'glad to see you ringing in the holidays again with your avatar.
