Modern Vespa

Rather highly priced, but could solve suspension issues on Vespas:

Now we're getting somewhere.

And for the low price of $4,123, soft, cushy rides are yours!

One of the things I love about riding on two wheels is road response. Not for me. But if our older riders want a softer experience, go for it. For those riders I would also suggest this..........

With proper programming, you could leap over obstacles.

Hmmm reminds me of Flubber

If I could force 17" rims in my GTS, I'd consider it. But it would make the Vespa look odd.

Link doesn't work for me

It's there - try this without the extraneous personal tracking stuff:

I'm worried about how long they will last. Maybe as short as one day?

Unsprung mass...?

thanks but still no success. don't worry about it

That was my first thought…

…cue the marketing nerds stating that the unsprung mass is lower, because technically it's just the centre section that's unsprung. 😂

Rotating mass is going to be hideous though. 😝

nope

I'm thinking about upgrading my GTS and wanted to hear from those who know. I'm considering Method, MOMO, Rino, SIP

oh, and Malossi.

...and Bitubo.

Gotta love that Four-One product line.

Hrumph - must be geofenced. I hate that.

nope

Happy beginning of April!

Oh look spokes reinvented

nope

Spring wheels were an actual real thing once. Various types were patented in the 1890s when rubber tyres were in their infancy.

Later, when WWI caused a shortage of rubber in Germany, spring wheels were sometimes fitted to bicycles and cars.

When the website returns results (or restricts them) according to what *it* thinks is your location. So if you try to get say bbc.co.uk from the USA it will stubbornly show you bbc.com instead, majoring on US news. And you won't be able to access BBC iPlayer either. Now, I pay the BBC licence fee for my flat in London, so I reckon I'm bloody well entitled to watch iPlayer regardless of my location (the UK govmint thinks otherwise...) so I use a VPN. Well worth the ~$5 a month. Not entirely true, there can be lots of occasions when you want to access a site but the site's designers think they're being helpful by offering you local-to-you content rather than what you're really after.

Your tuning example is another type of case - and don't always blame the law-makers, often it's the corporate types who jealously guard their 'secrets'.

Have you considered a car?

actually it looked more like the html/css was broken / non standard (eg the web site dev didn't test on more than one web browser). imo it's unlikely that it's caused by a geofence - I doubt the loading of css would be fenced. theoretical possible but unlikely. I could did further but ain't worth it - got coffee to drink isntead

Anyone remember the Triumph MC spring hub?

The opera browser has a virtual private browser, which allows you to set your location in general areas to avoid local content restrictions

Given the context of the post, I'm not sure who is being serious or not. But, I just added SIP 13" wheels to my '17 GTS along with Sip rear and Zeloni front (thanks, ESS) front shocks.

Based on some of the other experiences here, Im guessing it was the front shock, but my wobble is gone. Hard to pinpoint when doing everything at once. But, double thumbs up from my experience.

I'm sorry, but that jacked-up No Va looks stoopid.

Oh look. Another purveyor of Vespa suspension FUD. Everyone knows ESS solved every suspension issue but was killed off because they get given kickbacks from BigSuspension.

Your shocks are fine sheeple!

You haven't made it out to Apache Junction, yet, have you? That's how we roll.

Yo, don't be bitin' on the Dirty T's style now...

Now we're on a race to the bottom.

nope

Whats the price right now?

It's still fourthousandonehundredandtwentythree dollars. Per wheel.

I've also heard they are back ordered until 4/1/24. I'm not waiting that long.

something totally new will be what everyone's talking about in a year.

Huh, okay...

The problems you will run into with the Opera VPN, unless they changed it, are that you cannot pick where your computer is supposed to be, and most of the companies that have content people want, like netflix, know it's a VPN. So if you want to watch the BBC in all it's finery, or watch a free Superbowl feed from the UK, you need to have a VPN that says your computer is in the UK. Likewise with the thing from New Zealand. But there might be a chance that the diesel engine thing company only blocks the US, which is sort of dumb, because Americans like to modify vehicles. If they do business in the US selling things that don't offend the EPA, and they are shipping those to the US and they are illegal here, the Govt. has a way of getting to them. If it's expensive enough, and they are labeling it correctly when they ship it here, they probably got tired of having them seized in Customs.

If you find one and want it shipped here, I've heard that the way to get it that has the highest chance of success, is to have them leave out the receipt, remove all the packaging, label it as Motorcycle Accessories, and put the value at about $59. No matter how you ship it, it should sail right through. I don't recommend doing that, because it's wrong, like using a VPN to buy something you're not supposed to have.

The easiest way to see where your VPN says you are is to get rid of the browser data, and then go to Yahoo. If it's in a foreign language, that's where you are. If prices are in Kroner, you're probably using the free Opera VPN.
