Welcome. Do post pictures. Preferably of the bike.

I'm a while eastbound on the M4 near Swindon. Someone has to be.

Welcome from Lake Wobegon Minnesota.

Hey, once you learn how to post photos you are on the team. Be sure to share your riding exploits in Jolly Old England. Inaddition to seeing your Vespa, it is also fun to see your great country.

Note: Family kicked out of England in 1650 for supporting Cromwell against the crown. Your ancestors were great - they did not execute us - just sentenced my family for transport to the colonies. You Brits tended to do this - example Australia.

Again welcome.

Greetings from the Southern California Desert! For my money, you can't go wrong with a GTS 300...or an ET2...or darn near anything with a step-through frame made in Italy...or whatever you choose to ride! (Don't wanna hurt anyone's feelings, don'tcha know!)

And yeah...post pics...of your scoots. We're all pretty familiar with what Bullwinkle J. Copeland looks like... Laughing emoticon

Welcome from Sechelt - my family had been in North East England for at least 1000 years as we have Viking blood introduced in the fun raids around 1000-ish. Fell in love with a Viking and settled down and had babies or slow on her feet during a pillage? You decide.

Heavy on the term "answered-ish!" And some of those "ish-es" you might not really wanna hear!

Hello and welcome! Everyone, "thumbs up" for Byron.
What is the name of the place in Wales with the impressive long name? I recall seeing a sign from a railway station.

Good luck with your practice , as a heads up you say it like a sentence, like this. Welsh is phonetic so you say it as it looks.

The hardest bits ar the double ll's and I cant think of an English sound like it. But if you type Welsh to English translation into google then put in "Llan" then click on the sound symbol you will hear it πŸ‘

Lastly the ..ch is like the Scottish eg Loch

Llanfair / pwll / gwyngyll / gogerych / wyrndrobwll / llantysilio /gogo goch

Now then lets get back to talking about Vespa's 🀣
