Nope, mine was navy blue, don't recall ever seeing a black one.

Maybe yours was repainted?

What kind of work are you trying to get done? Scheduled maintenance?

Most of the DMV scooter peeps connect on social media FB groups.

Best I could suggest is come to the next meet-up on 11-July in Chantilly, VA to make some connections.

Time > Meet at 10:30am with Kickstands up NLT 11am

Ride Start Location (11am) > Sunoco Gas Station @ 4475 Daly Dr, Chantilly, VA 20151

Thank you Pegasus Prime. Unfortunately, my scooter is needing TLC and not in a rideable condition. So have to fix it first, but definitely another time

Does anyone know what is the size of the fuel lines? They seem to be dry rotted and cracked. Planning to replace them altogether.

Thank you

I'm in DC and may be able to provide assistance if you still need it. Modern Classics has shut its doors apparently, it was the go-to Vespa/Piaggio shop in the area however unimpressive it was. It was a dirty old shop in no man's land and I won't miss it. LaMoto has a terrible reputation though I have not been there. I do all the maintenance and repair work on mine so I've never needed anything from them. The shop I would recommend for scooterists now in the DC area is Cycles of Silver Spring.

Thanks so much I really appreciate it. I still have not been able to get into carb and pretty need to start from scratch - think scoot needs a lot of TLC.

Are you in No VA side or DC/MD?
