Hi to everyone!

So glad to found this forum, it's great!
I really like the old style Vespa's and Lambrettas, however as I wanted to use my scooter for commuting as well as for fun I decided and purchased GT 125 recently.
Modern Vespas are much safer,have better brakes and stability, nippier too, hence my decision!
Not sure how much I will be able to contribute to the board from the technical point of view as I am fairly new rider, however I am sure I will have questions to ask.

Regards

Welcome to the board! You will learn a lot and have fun exchanging ideas. I'm fairly new myself and can't get enough of the board.

I ask because I have relatives in Ealing.
Do motorcycles and scooters have to pay the entry and exit fee they charge automobiles in London?

Nope, any two wheel powered bikes have free entry to congestion zone as well as free designated parking bays, even some car parks ie. NCP have free motorcycle bays. Hope it stays that way!
