I am seeing these all over now. Is this a throwback to the six days Sei Giorni bike or is there some other significance to it? I ordered some stuff and they threw a 6 sticker in with my stuff. Confused as to what it means.

Granted, I have been out of it for awhile.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6

Six is ​​a mystical number and ambivalent in its meaning, as it is the number of perfect balance and order. It can well predispose to union with the divine, but at the same time it can generate confusion, disturbance and illusion. Therefore, the meaning of Number Six is ​​based on the term "ambivalence".
Its ambivalence is represented graphically by the six-pointed Star (Solomon's Seal) which allows us to understand the contradiction inherent in the number Six. The 6-pointed star is formed by the union of two Triangles: the one with the point down, indicates materiality; the one with the point up, instead spirituality. While the five-pointed Star corresponds to the microcosmic dimension, to the individual man, the 6-pointed Star corresponds to the macrocosmic dimension, to the universal man.
The interaction of the two triangles is the embodiment of the union between heaven and earth, between the masculine polarity and the feminine polarity, generating the harmony of opposites; but at the same time it indicates the object and its reflection, the distorting mirror image.
The number 6 evokes the initiatory test, the fundamental choice that implies the active commitment of the initiate to follow the path of spiritual elevation, without getting lost in illusions.
The number 6 which in ancient times was consecrated to Venus is considered a symbol of beauty and perfection. In the ancient Mysteries it was important because it offered the Six dimensions of all bodies plus those of height and depth, or the four cardinal points added to Zenith and Nadir.
It is important to "not put" three numbers six side by side, you would get a three-digit number that is better not to have on any surface ... bad luck.

I have only recently returned to active duty myself, after a long hiatus. The mods get all the credit for actually fort-holding. But the site desperately needed some technology upgrades, so I've been frantically writing code and pushing updates.

I've thought about getting an "85" sticker for my scooter because that's how fast it'll go.

Yep. Varese races, I'll guess.

The speedo might say that, anyway. But... no, never mind.

Become a modern-day legend

Paying homage to the glorious days of the original Vespa Sport "Sei Giorni", built for the 1951 edition of the Sei Giorni Internazionale (6-Day International) in Varese, Italy, where the two-wheeled legend scooped 9 gold medals, this modern-day version fuses technology and a passion for travel with an authentic slice of Vespa sporting history.
