Modern Vespa

Do they still make them?
I tried ScooterWest's website, but I didn't have any luck.
Oops, forgot the second half of the question: What do y'all think of them? Assuming it's more than hate of a certain scent. I get that. Not for group rides.

Google showed quite a few results. Interesting concept.

Did make me think of
Artisanal Gaskets will be available soon!

Castor Bean is my favorite

Don´t want to mess up the synthetic I use but it would sure result in associations/memories.

Add some drops....

No, I'm not trolling. I recently bought a chainsaw to help deal with the aftermath of Helene. The mechanic sold me Kawasaki oil, saying it was better IHHO than Stihl's...and I immediately remembered 2T scooter oil that was strawberry or watermelon or...something.
I thought fruit-scented or something 2T 50:1 mix oil would make the task a little happier, since it's just going to be me on several wooded acres clearing out fallen trees.

It's vegan so it's sustainable and safe, maybe a shopping trip to find a candle?
Even a scented ink well for pens!
Who needs tariffs?

You're probably thinking of Ipone.

Not too common stateside, but Scooterworks says they have stock.

Works! That was the other one besides (Scooter)West. Thank you!

I tried the Ipone strawberry years ago, just for fun. No complaints. I have also tried some "fuel fragrance" -- you can find an amazing number of those. I have some root beer that's always a crowd pleaser. Have run it in the Vespa, a weed whacker, and the Harley at various times, a little goes a long way. The stuff I have is from All Star Performance (https://allstarperformance.com/search-results-page?q=fuel%20fragrance).

There's even "reefer madness" scent... I can only imagine how quickly THAT would get someone pulled over!!

You had me at LAVENDER. XXX.

For chainsaws, I'd recommend this biodegradable bar & chain oil. The specs are just fine and I've been happy with switching to it. Does the job perfectly well and doesn't fling petroleum all over the place. If you're in sub-freezing temps in winter, just switch back to the winter/all-season oil that Husqvarna makes for a short period of time.

The ipone oil is quality stuff specs-wise, and the scent is pretty sweet, quite literally. It's worth trying if only for the container with its dosage system that fits in a glovebox, even the lambretta under-the-seat kind (you have to stuff it in, but it fits). No second-guessing at the fuel pump: check the quantity of gas, and fill the separate oil compartment to the same value if you're running at 2%, or adapt according to your needs.

Putoline from the UK used to make their version of strawberry scented oil, but not sure if it's still made...

I've tried quite a few 2 stroke oils in my scooterriding years, and I find the motul 710 to be the most agreeable to the nostrils among the performance oils.

Pardon the politically incorrect language, but this thread topic is a bit gay. I mean, bro, it's 2-stroke oil; it's not suntan lotion or shower gel.

When I bought my Kr1s the guy gave me a bottle of Castrol A747. Incorrectly he thought this was the right oil for an injector system. I flushed it all out but kept the bottle.

For those that dont know 747 is a premix only and has very similar characteristics to the original Castrol R mineral oil……….including the smell.

For over two year I ran it at 40:1 in my garden mower. Never has cutting grass been more enjoyable. Walking directly behind the exhaust of a hot air cooled motor smelling of Castrol R was pure 70&80's racing nostalgia!

And …you can still buy it , for premix use only.

Coconut oil... great idea!

OR you could go Cheech and Chong... Up in 2/- Smoke

i stick with the tried and true orange jug for all of my saws (i go through a decent amount of it). If Ipone came out with either a Fir or Cedar scented 2 stroke oil, i'd definitely use that in my chainsaws

They do, in my place you can easily find 2T oils with strawberry and bubblegum scent. I use this one from local brand, yellow color, with bubblegum scent.. It produces less smoke and more clean combustion chamber.

hmmmm.... ´Eva-lube´ and pro no less

I use to have a grapve smell one, it was a very small bottle, like 1 or 2oz and it was concentrated. It did made a big difference, it was noticeably. I can't remember where i got it from but yes they work.

How sticky is the bubblegum scent?

I think I'll have to just "test" a bit... I'm sure that amongst the drawer of "not yet regifted candles" there would be some "ohh this wonderful expensive oil makes ya shite not stink for about 40secs smell" or "almost smells like a teen spirit going up in cigarette smoke covering smell" oil burner oil stuff kicking around, so may as well regift it to myself, pour a bit in the tank & see what happens... worst case scenario is nothing, as it's unlikely to blow up or seize, as it can do that at anytime without much assistance. The hard bit is being able to smell what's coming out the exhaust without adding a hose to it & diverting that to near my face so I can smell it.

Yesterday, I found the outdoor Citronella Oil burners & used them to keep flies away... it sorta worked & smelt like it should, so I guess it could work to keep the bugs away while riding.

I have heard good things about the Ipone strawberry scented oils; they are JASO FD rated as well.

Hate to break it to you, but Vespas are kinda gay. At the very least, it's not the most masculine ride one could choose.

I've used this for years in trials bikes. In that application you get a lot of unburnt spooge with some other oils.
It might be good in a vespa for city riding, but I'm not sure how well it would lubricate at continuous high revs.

what do you mean of sticky? the scent or the viscosity?

It was a play on words…sticky bubblegum

haha sorry it was late night i didn't get it
