Drove 12 hours round trip to get my "new" scoot and met a kind and good guy who made me a more than unbelievable deal; thank you Tom, we made it home safe and sound! Again, it was a genuine pleasure to meet you, thank you for taking the time to explain everything, to allow me the miles of smiles to come and for the numerous and gracious extras.

Nice! Burgundy red, crash bars, and top case. Very cool! Worth the round trip, no doubt. Congratulations!

Looks like you've been adopted by a very nice scooter. Glad you had a good experience with its previous dependent. Razz emoticon Congrats.

Thank you all; the color likeness to the truck was a happy accident-the wife is ecstatic, as it is her favorite color!

To the OP, you are a very lucky guy to score that GTS. I gave you a thumbs up rating as others have. Sorry about your face. That smile you are having will hurt for some time. Enjoy the ride my fellow Vespa rider.
