Modern Vespa

At 7 o'clock there was a lot of 5's

Can't post a photo at the moment but the best mod I've done to my S is adding a vintage bag hook to the frame under the seat. Having two hooks allows me to carry a lot. I only put on the rear rack and full seat for road trips. Around town it's just that sexy sport seat with no grab rail and plenty of hook room for groceries etc.

Here's a few pictures of my wife's '13 sport. We just picked it up yesterday!

Dear interweb, hello mv forum!

here is a picture of my S125. I am totally in love with it. So far I added the little screen and new tires.
Some more things will follow..

I'm planning to buy a 2014 vespa S, wanted to know if it has fuel overfilling problems. S owners plz help me out

the gts 300 has got the same problem,the only way is to top it up slowly.regulate the noozle ,do not squeeze too much.

I read on this forum that only vespa's in some countries have this problem, because they have to pass the emission standards, I don't know about vespa's in India. I don't know how to find out, maybe I should go to the showroom and ask them if evap hose is used or not?

It's a quirk of the gas-tank/filler-neck design, and as far as I know it's unrelated to the evap. system -- at least, removing it does not help with gas spitting back out during refueling.

Hold the gas filler nozzle so the handle is lined up with the bike's centerline; either straight back (over the tail-light or rear rack) or straight forward (over the pet warmer). This usually (but not always) keeps splash-backs from happening. Filling from the side usually results in splash-back.

If its just splash back that's not an issue at all, but when fuel gets into the evap system and causes trouble that sounds like a problem. By the way I came to know that two wheelers in India don't have evap( not until 2015), I'm booking a new vespa this week, I'm double minded between lx125 and S125

Hi, I think I can clarify your doubt. while filling, atleast in india, when you ask for full tank, the attendant will fill her up till auto-off from the nozzle, but then remove the nozzle partially to roundoff the amount you have to pay.

Avoid this because after the capacity is full, the extra will simply get spilled on the floor through a bleeding line. This I think is a safety feature.

What I do is pay by card to avoid the over flow problem or ask the attendant to stop as soon as the auto-shutoff happens in nozzle.

Thx man, that's really helpful info. Good to see a member from India, see your pm.

New Faco crash bars on my s150. Good quality and really easy to instal.

And now

Bringing the post back to the top with some new mirrors. See details under "project report" thread if interested.

And fashionable.

Went to wash my s50. Considering it is january and Stockholm Sweden the Weather is Sunny and no snow at all.

Taken earlier this evening.
Bike is a 2009 bought new, but spent the first few years stored in a distant city.

Racked up most of the miles over the last couple of years.

A grab bar....

Nice grab bar!
And the crashbars are pretty slick, too.

The sticker is because my finger nails were too sharp to peel the damn sticker off. It's a star!

Edit for lack of content.

beautiful morning, at tanjung setia lampung

The Vespa is looking good but it needs a bit polish. Maybe the image looks grainy from here. I just like to have my bikes all sparkly and clean.

With decals to cover up everything. It doesn't even have the bolts to hold the license plate. It needs four bad ass chrome bolts. And that's just for starts.

2009, Had since new, clean last weekend and still in prime condition for age

ignore the fluffy dice, blokes at work having a laugh
