I love seeing photos of so many awesome vespas here. Thanks for the inspiration. I Found this 2008 Gts covered up in a garage near Seattle has 106 original miles. I changed the fluids and battery. Started up on the first try! I'm looking forward to an amazing summer of riding...

Congratulations, this sounds like a truly good find. Maybe also give some thought to replacing the tires, even here in the relatively low UV exposure Upper Left Corner, rubber compounds degrade over time and you can be riding with greater risk of tire issues.

There are certainly several active scooter groups in the Seattle area. My "local" shop is in Tacoma, where there are a handful more groups, and the next nearest shop is Portland, which is thick with scooter groups of pretty much every flavor. I'm currently working on starting up a group in Olympia, there are lots of scooters around but no organized groups. Check with the local Vespa dealer, they will get you connected as much or as little as you like.

Welcome, and enjoy the new ride!

Thanks Bob! Let me know if you get your group going! I would love to truck my scooter up to Olympia and ride with you all.
