Really awesome scooter, I ride it to work, just over 40 miles a day 5 days a week on it, and even after 200 miles in the week I still get the itch to ride at the weekend. Love my scoot, really a pleasure to ride, even when it's pissing down with rain.  |

thank you man!
the crome kit came with the bike along with a stupid looking wind shield which i removed the crome is called a touring kit you can get it from sip scooters or aj suttons i replaced the seat from the et normal seat to the lxv seat [ king+queen] it looks much more vintage + its leather the exhaust is the et4 scorpion i have removed the baffel so it sounds like a 600 quite funny people think there is a performence bike bhind them they move out the then see me on a 125 vespa haha! .........
 i bought the tred plates + yes i did the lettering on the tyres but im changeing them soon to conti zippy 1's 100/80/10 front 130/80/10 on the back ! still have alot more to do to her but she dose turn a few heads .........! piant work needs a bit of a touch up in places and so does the crome but she is over 12 years old + she dont like cold mornings but i dont think any of us do....... :a:......once shes warmed up shes fine 0 to 40 about 5secons 40 to 65ish about 5 or 6 more shit loads of bottom end off the lights .......happy to hear someone likes her cheers mate

#Dread I think a wide foot print tire on the slick roads of London is a great idea as long the steering isn't too stiff because of it. Reminds me of the days commuting to work in Brighton on my PK50 and wiping out numerous times on slick roundabouts Love the Tan dash, nicely done!
#Willo I got the mirrors very reasonably priced from SIP and added the rubber covers from LX mirrors and as Marky said the emblem wasn't hard to find, got it on ebay but had mine sent as the sticker only. #Marky I spray painted the indicators with VHT Nite-shades, sprayed three light coats and end result is glossy and dark but light still shows bright Orange. Still waiting to find time to dial carb in and then list for sale. 
Here's what I started with.

My new(old) ET2
Hi all. First Vespa, first post.
It was a bit of a state when I got it but mechanically sound and cheap as chips. LOTS of elbow grease, bit of chrome and a couple of strategically placed stickers(hiding a couple of scratches) and a smidge of touch up paint and its good to go for now. Really enjoying this peppy little 2 stroke, just a toy for me but I find myself jumping on this often and the cage and Thundercat less and less. Fun is fun after all. Good forum this. Greetings from sunny Margate. Chris.......still having a prolonged mid-life crisis.
