Our custom order sign came in yesterday and I made quick work of installing it this morning! What a stunning sign, looks great on our Caicos Turquoise wall.

Now I just need to add some more Vespas to the collection Scooter emoticon Scooter emoticon Scooter emoticon

The Verde Amabile 2023 model is so much fun, I love the new display on the headset and it rides particularly better than the others, great improvements for sure.

Verde Amabile. Yeah baby. Super cool color looks slightly different in all the pictures. Can't wait to see it in person. Where are you located and can you send me the current GPS coordinates for the bike? Laughing emoticon

nope, I had MyNeon custom make it. They did excellent work. It's super bright in person but you can adjust the brightness.

The one you had made makes the mail-order neon sign looks like it was made by a 3 year old. Yours looks great.

Thank you, I don't think it could have come out any better. It wasn't inexpensive but it looks like a proper dealer sign and it's exactly what I wanted. I would definitely recommend the company I bought it from.

You should help dealers design their showroom floor! I like that yellow gas locker. My work tossed one of them out and I didn't get a property removal pass in time to get it. Again, nice work!

Is your 2023 the one with the round reflector on the front fender?

Get rid of the cage so you can have more scoots.

Seriously, nice paint and vibe you got going there. Bravo.

Those are beautiful, new looking scooters in your clean, well designed garage.

It appears that you got the Vespa bug and jumped into the deep end.

I hope you ride them.

Yeah that new pale green GTS colourway is very nice. Looks pretty close to (a little lighter than) the Pantone 557 green used in Vespa's corporate colours.

No way.
AliExpress don't use child labour if the child is under 4.

Garage is looking great!

Robalatte,

Wow, super looking sign with just as amazing back color on the wall.
Me thinks you might have an eye for color and style. Your Vespa
stable is equally impressive. Envy, envy!

This looks incredibly well done, congratulations! Clap emoticon

(Just make sure when backing up the car into the garage, you don't accidentally tip over the first Vespa. I would hate to see surveillance cam footage of dominos in action. )
