Modern Vespa

More photographic evidence from the weekend. Lots of riding. Lots of shenanigans. I highly recommend it.

Back to daily'ing the stock p200…

Great pics JohnDon!

These pics are awesome! Makes me wanna go ride around in the city.

Conked out after a short ride and a grocery stop. The culprit was the usual suspect: fuel starvation.
I pulled over at the county jail, checked the plug and cleaned the carb jets , and bailed out of there.
I thought of the boys (and girls?) probably having their dinner inside and said, keep your chin up guys. Then I raced home, keeping it just under the limit.

Ye Olde Annual Beach Trippe, 2024.

I just counted. This is my 8th year keeping Blue on the roadways. She is running like a total TOP, if I may say so without completely jinxing my non-mechanical self. It's a miracle, fellow Vespisti. Cheers to many more years! 🍾 🥂 🎉

Right on K - 8 years and running strong. You've got more mechanical skills than you think.

Thanks for the awesome pictures - I love seeing scooter lake pictures.

And a trick I've used to keep a scooter on the sand is bring a chunk of fence board or 1x4 that's long enough to fit between the two legs. Or two little chunks, one for each leg. But that means you've got to plan for parking on the beach...

Beach Days and Scooter days are the best days! Glad to see you got out for a run in the sun!

That second pic could be an ad for Vespa!

two of these will do:

Some great posts recently!

This mural is on the side of Lovejoys, a tea room and restaurant.

I love this. I know you're all surprised.

we just need to move that Ford out of there to complete it.

cool mural!

Those cars are ALWAYS parked there. I finally gave up and just took the picture...

I love the number 12 on there. Very Isle of Man.

I bet AI could remove it.

Some more boring shots of the daily…

Good tip, qa, thanks! I'm sure I can find room in my beach bag amongst the magazines, snax, and sunblock for a little beach board. Maybe I'll give it a customized Vespa logo paint job. Those colorful discs look rather handy, too, Petrus.

Bird, I agree with you. Lots of really great pics on this thread lately. I enjoy it uh lott

Yah, real boring. I'm yawning just looking….


Actually looks fantastic! Nice shots.

I'm such a badass.

Did you make some 2 stroke smoke there also?

Lock me up.

We're such rebels.

Vesperados.

Wasn't really expecting to see this while I was out this morning.

It's a sightseeing copter, I'm 99% certain, but I really didn't expect to see them operating out of a stormwater collection pond next to Top Golf.

Any (heli)port in a storm...except that one.

I wouldn't land there! Too expensive to chance. 🤣😂

Nice shot of your scoot though. 👍

Some faster riding now that the VMC kit no longer cooks itself. I think the gps is lying though.

Thanks! I was ripping along, saw it, and thought, "Oh...I gotta go get a picture with that!"

I've been picked up out of clearings a couple times where I don't think they had three feet of clearance on each rotor tip and those guys came in hot to do it. As compared, this would be the easiest LZ in the world.

Couple shots of rides between frustrating ET3 work.

Rolling around on those has to have improved the situation, though.

Facts.

And…. With the renewed rear brakes the vnb4t is just a joy to ride. 1 up 2 down and torque that will lift the front wheel. 😄

Ain't never anything wrong with a motor that lifts the front wheel!

I was concerned about stray golf balls!😆

LOL! Nah, that fence around it is TALL. Anyone who can hit the ball well enough to potentially clear it doesn't whiff their shots like that.

Some shots from open practice at the track yesterday. There's a video of me sliding out on my instagram (@millionsofscooters) My GoPro keeps skipping when recording so it's not worth uploading to YouTube, very annoying. I'm

Got both the beauties out today.
Bluey went on a food run while Bear went on a "god dammit I hope the oil pump isn't leaking anymore" run.

So far so good. About 15 miles for Bear and no evidence of the oil leaking out from under the carb box. Fingers crossed.


Also added a LED headlight to Bear. Bluey will get hers soon. They work well on AC too.

I drove to my hometown - 500 km round trip.


In my hometown I changed P to LML 200 and done near 80km to wild camping for two nights. LML sits almost two years without moving, but started easily by few kicks.

Very nice! What exact light did you get? And what lenses are you using? I'm diggin the yellow lenses!
