Just be patient and relax. You'll know when it happens and then you'll get no work done.

Every year, about this time, a highly anticipated thing happens on this forum. Speaking of it before it happens is bad. Belts break, rollers roll out, oil leaks, tires go flat, all the lights on your scooter will start flashing. It is bad if you ask to many questions. Just like Santa Claus, we all set and wait in anticipation.

Folks, sorry. I sold my Vespa years ago, and I completely forgot the rules re discussing the holiday lightbulbs early. My bad. I definitely wouldn't want to do ANYTHING to affect when/how we get the bulbs. It's such a fantastic way to kill 8 hours in the office during the holiday season. I'll try to be patient.

I no longer have a Vespa, but I always check back here this time of year to see those great holiday lights on the MV website. Am I early again?

This comes down to the old "we could tell you, but then we'd have to kill you" routine, so just stick around, keep it zipped, and maybe, if we're all lucky, and worthy...
