Well, according to the Vespa's global website, you either get colour-matching shoelaces with the purchase of a new Sprint, or you have to procure them yourself before the purchase.

i had to procure my own yellow laces when i bought my yellow sprint.

of the sprints i've seen in the wild there does seem to be a high proportion of lace matching or other accessory colour matching going on.

Dahoum, black doesn't count....too easy.

Raettig, fantastic colour matching. Now, get yellow riding gear, so you completely merge with the scoot

i did consider getting an uma thurman from kill bill outfit, but that might be a step too far. i looked at a matching schuberth but apparently yellow helmet is a medical diagnosis.

Do it, Uma!

As for your 'Yellow Helmet', there's a cream or lotion for that...

Hey, no outfit is going too far on a Vespa. Check the pic of the dude on a GTS with a teddy bear as a passanger on vespa.com See his outfit? Actually, I think it's a crime to look normal on a Vespa.

This reminded me of being at the Americade Rally many years ago and I was there with a few other friends who were into the Goldwings.

They talked about how they got helmets that were "Color Matched" to their bikes. Well I ended up buying a new helmet and had to brag to them that I was "lucky" they had one "Color Matched" to my bike. Took them a few seconds to recall that I rode a black Sportster!

That was probably back in early 1990's and I still ride the same bike! 116,000 miles and counting. However I did go "rogue" big time this spring and bought a new white full face helmet to go with my Hi-Vis TourMaster jacket!
