My name is stixang and I own a 2005 Portofino Green GT200 Vespa. My boyfriend and I ride our Vespa's all over town.
It looks like I will find a lot of great references to information on here so I thought I would join.

Thanks!!

Welcome....the first step is always the most difficult.

Nice Corazzo jacket, I have the black and red myself.

The thing is, don't be shy, ask questions and give opinions and hold your ground, and take no prisoners

Welcome to MV! It's a safe place to learn about much more than Vespa scooters. Some of the NSR (Not Subject Related) posts are quite an interesting read as well.

We are quite a diverse lot from all over the globe who are fairly active here on the site. Have fun!

A warm welcome to you from England! I'm sure you'll like it here in MV-land. The natives are really friendly and there's SO much useful scootering information to be found here.
