Hi guys

Collected my Vespa LX50 this morning!! Very pleased! Lets just hope I get through the CBT next week.

One question about the scooter. Underneath the foot plate (left) are 3 small rubber pipes that are not connected to anything, just dangling loose. Are these overflow pipes or something???

The third one could have been it's left over umbilical chord from when it was born.
Usually they have dried up and fallen off by the time a new Vespa is in the arms of its owner.
