Salve,

New member and first time Vespa rider. I've always wanted one so I finally took the plunge.

It's not much but she is a 2004 ET4. I'll never not have a Vespa, they're so convenient!

Nice scooter.

Hit those little rust spots with some Naval Jelly to stop the rust from spreading. Easy fix.

Be careful, they are addictive, and like Lay's potato chips, it's hard to have just 1.

Funny you say that, I bought one a month ago to hold me over until the HPE's hit Canada and now I'm thinking I'd like to keep it and have the HPE...lol

I haven't joined a moto bored since early 2000s when I was part of the ADV and Ducati moto community. For such a 'niche' (in USA), we're pretty wide spread.

I'm in Italy so a Vintage Vespa would be cool to take back home. That or a kick ass Cinquecento!
