It has been over 2 weeks now but I just got the call..Your bike is done..They found out the fuel pump died and replaced it adjusted the valves and adjusted the tilt lock cable...I was figuring about $900.00 but it was only $550.00..I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve waking up to my MP3..My Vespa dealer are experts tearing down all the plastic..So just letting you know I know it is still alot of money but if it ever happens to anybody else and they charge a lot more..Then they had 2 learn how to tear it down..But I am as happy as a pig...This is what you have 2 take off to get to the fuel pump..Wow...I was just sweating it out hoping my credit card went through..So far so good...

I hope you are right.

Are you sure they haven't just been selling the parts off your bike to keep others going???

All the best

Nuts. It would only have taken 27 more months at current rate for me to pass up your mileage.

Welcome back to fun roads.

I was hoping to see you at the air show. With your bike down for two weeks getting back on and catching some wind in the face was probably overwhelming. wheeeeeeeeeeee! whoppie!
