Modern Vespa

Gee - that is a good ways away from Colorado. That would be quite a commute.

I was humming a John Denver tune when I spotted the ET4

Let me guess....

Take me home country roads?

Apparently the key is to get there early. By 9am, the joint is LOADED (and I think the folks outside might be drinking Bloddy Marys and getting loaded too).

I'll put that on my list. My gym is right across the street and on Saturday mornings, when we're meeting for Boot Camp, I secretly hate all the folks sitting outside Lucilles. The nerve of some folks! Hahaha.

speer and Federal, about 7:30 pm tonight.

GTS? MAYBE.. i really dint get a good look at it. it was the really dark rich red, had chrome rack on the back.
thats all i could see.

The one scooter I didn't see tonight was my own, guess the CDI came in today and just a matter of time now....

Black mp3 I-25 and sixth about 5:30

Silver ET4 on Federal and Oxford. 10:00 am

Pearl white ET4 on 84th near Zuni, 11:30am

2 moderns, and 2 buddys riding together- all i could tell was that 1 of the moderns was gray- i was really far back at a light.
Sheridan & 44th 12:30 this afternoon.

Silverish lx50 MLK and york at 11am or so.....whitesoxfan?

so admittedly, i rarely have to time to see the distinguishing features of most scooters that are similar to the GT.

dark blue GT with top box, federal& 64th 3:20pm

black et4 and a whole bunch of buddys. [what is with buddys? why does EVERYONE get a buddy?]
in highlands around 5:30 this evening.

also a guy on something...blue... who waved at me at 32nd and tennyson around the same time frame. he was on something older.

OK, Saw a vintage Vespa w/ a sidecar at Cornell turning South onto Colorado Blvd. about 6:20PM tonight.

Both the scoot and sidecar were red with chrome fenders. Oh yea the side car had two kids in it.

Very cool.

Oooo that does sound cool.

Two on the ride home, one on Mineral just east of Santa Fe vintage mostly white vintage and a black gt on I-25 about sixth or so. Right around 5:30 or so.

black ET with top case in Belmar around 4:30 this afternoon, across from the new Yankee candle place.

[new Yankee btw has out its Halloween stuff. i think they even beat walmart. god they're creepy.]

Not me - I'm Midnight Blue.

Red ET4 at Kimbark & 6th, Longmont, 11:30-ish this morning. Man & woman riders.

so, who else got DRENCHED today riding home?

i made it with in 6 blocks of my house before complete down poor. should have left my helmet on, got pumbled by hail on my way in the house too.

witesox- my jacket kept me dry- except where my vents were open. the rest of me is completely soaked through.

Good to know. We found out the Luna is no longer made. Performance Cycle didn't have it and couldn't get it. She's considering the replacement model - Ballistic I think - but hasn't made up her mind yet.

I drove the cage today, and I was glad I did. I saw a bunch of motorcycles and scooters getting just pummeled on the way home. No Vespas though.

I was out there, mesh jacket. Got soaked but it's not the first time and won't be the last. Other than the occasional fish tailing I kind of like riding in the rain.
Extra special thanks to the older lady on the buddy at 19th and Logan who handed me a kleenex to wipe my visor.....

I was upset this morning when I needed to drive my car today. I hadn't driven it since I bought my S150 in June.

I wasn't so upset this afternoon!

I left work a bit early because I knew it was gonna pour. Made it just in time though. The day before I did get wet though.

Ugh, I got sooooo wet. It's been two days in a freaking row. I thought it never rained in CO.

Saw a plum Aprilia 500 - client at my office who got clocked pretty good. It's sad that scooters are so expensive to fix. One little crack and the whole things got to be replaced.

i got soaked drivin home from the bar, had my parka on though. and being buzzed made it all the more fun.

Yes. There are Vespas outside of Denver!
Some comments from down south.
There is a Black LX parked at Art Hardware on Costilla nearly every morning. I followed a new MP3 the other day on Union until it turned off on Austin Bluffs. I see the guys from Sportique riding mainly vintage stuff frequently as my commute takes me by the store daily.

Black Modern Vespa - bigger than an LX - sorry, don't know the model.

Indendence road near the Boulder airport in Boulder at 1:35 today. I was on my black S150.

He/She gave me the Vespa wave and I sort of messed up giving it back.

hence Colorado spotter thread....

Nice looking lx across the street from the Irish Snug last night.

And break out the jacket liners, looks like another soggy ride home tonight for us Denver people.


/forgot my liner today.

not prepared today - silly me.

i actually ordered mine online.. i dont think it was ebay, but i might have been.

Skys are looking better, might not get wet at all tonight. Good for the ride, bad for the lwan.

Fucking sexy lambretta on logan over I25, no idea make, year ect. about 5:30.

Lots today around Cherry Creek - A brand new Red LX150 outside of Nordstrom - still had temporary tags. About 4 other scoots parked there.

A black LX150 and a light blue LX150 outside of Whole Foods, with about 10 other scooters and mine.

A completely obnoxious bright / sky blue ET around the corner from there.

And an orange something vintage parked on Detroit just south of 13th or 14th.

i saw daniel reike and scotty fly past the bar i was at today (24th & Sheridan) on some vintage lambretta. white and blue i think it was

Saw an obnoxious bright/sky blue (matching top case) NB Colorado and about 36th last night about 11:30. Damn, even in the dark that's a distinctive color.

HA! Could be the same one - the one I saw had the matching top case.

I'm guessing there are not too many around (nor would there be too many buyers for that color ) Dark blue seat?

Didn't catch the seat color. I didn't have my sunglasses on, and well, you can only look at that color for so long before you start doing permanent damage to your eyes. 8)

This is true but I could look at the girl riding it for a few hours....

light yellowish ET in northfield around 3:30 saturday. had top case, and brown seat.

So Colorado peeps, anyone interested in turning this into a scooter tag thread?

Nigel, orangelightning attempted to start this one, and I tried to revive it with no luck.

There is a pretty good game going on here.

I'd definitely be intersted in getting something going here on MV.

As far as I can tell, orangelightning's tag is still waiting to be gotten:


One more edit - I didn't see any Vespas on my commute today, but I got my first huge, animated "geek wave" from someone on a Met on 92nd right around Lowell.
