Hi guy,
Just thought I would share with you what I did this afternoon. As I said when I introduced myself back in june, I've only had a Vespa since September of 24, after downsizing from a Honda 600 Silverwing. Today I fitted a fender guard in black as my GTS seems to have been de chromed at some point, or are you able to order them like that? Anyway photo attached. I'm also sharing with you the rest of the stable, here is my 1978 Honda CB 250 Superdream and my daughter's Sunra Robo S electric scooter, equivalent to a 125cc scoot. I also have a 1964 BSA Bantam but that is a basket case and sits in my shed awaiting the day it will be restored.
Note to wife:- if I say I'll tidy the garage I'll tidy the garage, you don't have to remind me every six months! X

Nice scoot Simcha. I think you mean Sept 23 unless you are a time traveler 🤫.

The beeza must a D7 175cc, quite a useful Bantam. My dad had a D1, the nostalgia in me says buy one, but 4.5 bhp at the crank means it will be woefully underpowered on almost all of the roads where I live and ride.

You're absolutely right, it was September 23, I'm not a time traveler, honest. The Bantam is a D7 Super and there isn't a lot of power there as you say, it would have difficulty pulling the skin off a rice pudding! Laughing emoticon
