it's my first post in this forum, nice to meet u all.
I'm Marcus from taipei, taiwan.

worked on my speedometer last night and found something that almost made me lose my mind, my paintwork on the chassis bottom peeled off and rusted all the way through it...
bought a second hand one and after 3 years, can't imagine i'm getting a new one out of it....the last 3 years were horrible, i almost changed every part of it and thinking that the only thing left is the chassis and then this ......

well, can't do anything about it but start looking for a new color.
how do you guys think about the lightning blue metallic color (like on mini coopers) look on a ET4

Hi, Marcus, and welcome to Modern Vespa.

Sorry to hear about the problems with your scooter.

The blue metallic would look wonderful, though!

Hi Marcus,

I think the lightning blue on the ET would look good. Love the color on the mini.

Howdy all,
I've been stealth reading for many months. Thought I'd finally register. I'm a regular on StellaSpeed. When I bought my Stella, I didn't know much about modern Vespas. Test rode a GTS this summer and was impressed. But I sure enjoyed shifting on my red Stella on the way home from the dealer. I've still got a GTS itch, since I would enjoy being able to use the freeway when necessary. My Stella tops out around 60 mph real world GPS speed now that I've upgraded her a bit.
I love Vespa/Stella style. I hope to contribute here too.
