Hi, I'm very new to the world of owning a Vespa, but loved them for years. I got mine last month and absolutely love it. Great forum by the way, some brilliant threads... 8)

Wow, what a great response, from all around the globe too, I can tell I'm going to like it here. Just a bit of back ground to my scooter. The previous owner registered it in Nov 2011, shortly after he had an accident (not scooter related) which meant he was unable to ride a geared bike anymore, fortunately I was in the right place at the right time and here she is. Only 64km on the clock when I got her. I hope you like....

It is an incredibly comfortable seat, the one problem is being 6ft tall I find I'm a little to big for the seat, but it really is a minor criticism.

Thanks for the info. After years being parked outside 24/7, it's time to renew my seat, and I can order one from a shop in Thessiloniki, so I think I will treat myself to one. Fortunately, I quit growing (vertically, that is), a few inches short of 6 ft.
