Not sure if anyone else has seen this but I took my son and father in law to the Hollywood Car Museum in Las Vegas. At the end of the car museum was a pleasant surprise: a mini Vespa museum. Here's some pictures!

The real question is, what sort of black magic is used to keep the handlebars centered so that the tires are point straight ahead on all of the display scooters?

Explain yourself sir! Is this a common handlebar issue?

The cable tension makes them flop to one side.

Maybe they put a drop of Loctite on the steering column.

Thanks for the tip! I was in Vegas over the weekend and went with a work colleague. I took more pictures in the Vespa room than all the rest of the museum combined. They're very similar to yours, apart from this one
In my happy place!
