Hiya gang. Pretty excited to head down to the dealer after work today and check out the new Sprint 50. I've always been attracted to the romance and culture of Vespa, and at 42 years old, I'm finally getting one. I'm a bit nervous though, as I live in a heavy tourist town and we're heading into season with a bunch of terrible drivers. Ideally I'd like to get the yellow for visibility-sake. The dealer only has white and blue in stock and I'm told it would be an additional $150 to have the yellow shipped. Is that normal? Regardless, I'm not sure I've got the patience to wait.
I'm also a bit paranoid about theft. I've done some searches through the threads for security/locks but haven't found anything decisive. I'll be riding this vehicle every day to work where I'll be required to park it outside in a large populated parking lot. Not sure I'll be able to park next to a light pole every time (but I probably will). Any suggestions for locks?
I'm sure this will be the first of many posts by me, as I'm super stoked to get involved.
