Hello everyone. New to the forum but I Just got this one. Always wanted a Vespa for running around town and then I got sucked into a few YouTube videos of people doing long distance rides on them. It made me aware that these scoots might be good for more than a quick ride around the block. Anyways a neighbor had it and she's moving and I knew the history so I pulled the trigger. Plan is to add some luggage racks and a bigger top case and start using it.

I'm hoping to make it to the start of the cannonball so I can wave everyone on.

I'll be searching the forum for any tips on maintenance items to look out for etc.

Flushing out the old brake fluid and adjusting the valves are two service items that get overlooked

Best upgrade for a ET4 is replacing the stock front shock
I prefer the Bitubo, others have mentioned the Malossi

Thanks everyone. Yeah, I'm new to the Vespa thing but I've got quite a bit of other scooter/motorcycle experience.
I'll be checking the valves and flushing all the fluids as well as the brakes before it goes into regular service.
