On the way to the Good the Bad & the Rally in Austin last september.

Great one!

The great tire change. I can say that Schwalbe is a god send major upgrade in road handling compared to stock Maxxis.

fantastic tire!

I like the white wall of the tire! Safe riding

Went for a brisk new years day ride in the hills above Boise.

I think the scooter loves the dry cold weather. As long as the snow stays away, we're going to ride.

I want to get in on this

Love the white scoots, lookin good!!

Vespa S150ie UNDERGROUND SCOOTER BANGKOK CITY

SUPER SWEET!! Love the collor and that red sticker!

Thank you Lauriukas. Ride on.

Promised myself this would be the year I'd purchase another Vespa & just found a great deal on my dream one!

Number 010 for those that are interested.









Despite being the limited edition Zafferano from 2008 it had only done 450km as was literally 'as new' & only a 10 min drive from me. Almost too good to be true!

Score, nice find... Beautiful!!

I finally got to ride my scooter after sitting around since October. I hate winter with a firey passion. Anyway, I'm just wondering where you white wall tire guys got those white walls. I think white walls on a black vespa such as mine would look super classy. Where can I purchase such class? Thanks in advance for any answers, and no thanks if you don't bother to tell, you lazy dork.

awdwill: looks great!!

Thanks, Slolane.
My next project is to powder coat the wheels... Has anyone opted to just powdercoat the front wheel and not the rear one? The rear one is not that visible anyway, so I kept wondering whether there's even a point of powder coating it...

Here's ours. Still some things left to do.

nice stripe application. topbox beats the hell outa a milk crate too.

The box was actually bought at a craft store for $10. I got a strip of thicker 7-ply wood to replace the slats on the bottom so it could carry more weight for $1.75, and a can of brown spray paint to match the clean look of the paint (as opposed to vintage/weathered look if I had stained and sanded it). $6 for a pair of vintage fruit labels on ebay and for about $20 I had a strong, cool looking box on the back. Better than hundreds for the OEM plastic.

The new scooter- custom color (Sicily) and Vintage luggage top box...

@ DstroyAllZmbies: well done!

What beautiful toys !

Great pictures in this thread

I wouldnt mind a white S125 !

I added a Rear Crash Bar to protect the rear end. I went with the Vespa version because I like the lines. It also helps balance out all the chrome in the front.

I wanted to play with bottom lighting and found some 30cm LED strips for next to nothing. I added 3 strips - one above the rear tire and one on each side towards the front of the body. Wired to the license plate light since it was easy to reach. I plan to add some LED brake lighting soon.

Spring is here and it's time for road trips!

Very Tasteful, I like it a lot !

It replaced my car!

I should probably know this but I dont. What are the tire specs I need to know if I want to get different tires? I'll just use the stock rim. I really wanna get some white walls.

Man what happened? the PX200's are up to 14 pages & the GTS are at 7 and catching up fast. C'mon scnooby let's keep this thing goin'.

Great lines, I see lots of vertical stripes -- but I like the way these follow the baseline of the vespa name up front.

I actually peeled off the emblem and relocated it to line up. Easy.

Here's my Vespa S with 12'' Runner wheels.

Damn! 18 days w/o a post. C'mon Scnooby lets keep this thang alive.
BTW Hope my fellow S'ers had a freat Fathers day. 8)
