Ride happy

Ride safe

Whooo-hoooo!!!

Yup! Funl!

Cool! Enjoy

It is funny. I don't think anyone around here has bought a new Vespa in a while. We all seem to be buying something else.

Niiiice

Excellent, have fun.

somerset

Congrats! Have fun on the new ride!

Thank you all it's great fun I done 35 miles just getting to know it I like....

So, exactly what is it? Better glamour shots please.

And continuing the trend, this one is not a Vespa either. Though, you could call this the Vespa's big brother, I suppose.

What stop a good thing

And yeah I picked up on the non Vespaness of it. If you thought for a second I did not realize the lack of a Vespa in the picture you and I sir need to step out back to have a few words :-p

Oh, I understood you knew it was a Piaggio. I was just politely observing that it is more closely related to the Wasp than is a Ural.

Fair enough, that I will give you. You probably couldn't get further from a Vespa. They do share classic design in common though.

Who says nobody buys new Vespas? Maybe some of us haven't picked them up yet due to bad weather. Look carefully at my profile.

Here she is

She looks like she wants to go outside.

The Primavera ? Yup, that is a Vespa.

I don't consider Piaggio products Vespas any more than say a Triumph is a Vespa. Same parent company but it stops there.

Jojo43 she looks awesome and maybe just a little mean . Looks a bit like a creature out of an Anime show. Which model MP3 is it?

*EDIT* NM, It's in your profile

I'm sure the dealer here will let me take one out for a spin. He's allowed me to borrow bikes in the past when he has a demo or used unit. I'd love to get a chance to see how they handle. They do look like fun bikes and I did consider it before I got the BMW.

It is surprisingly easy to ride with lots of lean meaning you take corners fast and stable it's a piaggio mp3 500 and did 87 very easily then I realised and had to slow down lol this bike could well get me in trouble if I don't watch the speedo occasionally any ideas on a name for her

That really is a sharp looking ScootTri, Who would have thought it would fit inside the house!

Had to take bar ends off to fit it in the house but have got some thin ones on order so will look good again soon

Congratulations! That is a special bike. Go ride it and keep us posted.

Cheers!

Is that the permanent parking spot for the bike?

Yep always park my bikes in house never leave them outside to suffer....if you love em them treat em good

What do people think off the name le panda for the bike

+1

Name her... Tripod

Sure, I get it. I would never leave mine outside but they seem content in the parking garage. However I suppose given no other option in the house works. If you gave a significant other they are very understanding I'd suggest putting a rubber mat underneath though.

Seriously though that looks really tight. Can you get turn signals and mirrors that are closer to the body of the bike? It would help I'd think.

Didn't know things were that bad in Wales. London maybe Llanelli no.

Dont get me wrong where I live you can happily leave bike outside with keys in and it won't go anywhere...but the salt air and the constant rain wrecks bikes so I keep her in house and make sure she cleaned before coming in the house...o.c.d maybe lol

Good on ya then. In no way can I imagine cleaning my bikes every time I pull in to the underground parking. I ride in all sorts of nasty weather and they get filthy from mud and whatever else the roads can throw at them. When they are brand new they get special treatment but just like the first scratch....

And it won't tip over in the hallway if it unlocks...

If it's a she and it is your new best friend. Name her Lassie. Don't make me spell it out for you

G' day buddy from an ex NEATH boy. Nice ride.
Who's coats that jacket?

I'm guessing you're not married?

Sorry nate. Shes taken. Its my wife. 😁

Yeah me and my partner love the bike I been out on the panda today and she goes really well ...I'm Jolene and my partner Annette love going out for nice rides if anyone sees us out and about feel free to stop and chat

Panda is a fitting name for her, food choice.

A dated an Annette for a long time back in the day. Her family was Swiss German and she was beautiful girl. I'm sure the 2 of you will have many great adventures on Panda!

Here are pics from first ride down to burry port
