Conchscooter, it looks pretty wild down there at the moment
It also looks like the S is ideal for weaving round the flotsum and jetsum! |

Great Blog, Conch!
Greetings:
I enjoyed your blog. It imparts a very real sense of what it's like to weather a Cat. 4, and its aftermath. |

Hello from NYC!
Been riding my 2011 S150 (in NYC-glossy black, of course) on the mean streets of the five boroughs for the past two years.
She's a tough little ride, and unfortunately gets knocked around a bit by inconsiderate and careless parkers. That said, she's the most agile thing on the road when she's in motion. I ride her all year long, unless it's snowing. (tried that once -- it wasn't pretty) Shouts out to all the New Yorkers out there -- I see you all out on the streets, but not really online... Attached is a pic of her all shiny from the summer: -Roger ![]()

New Vespa S150 owner - Glovebox
Hey Guys
I'm a brand spankin new vespa owner in dallas. I recently purchased a gently used S. I love it, but i've questions on the glove box. Anyone know why it's just two cups instead of an enclosed box? And secondly, why is there a raised cup in the bigger cup? Is it for change? I can't imagine change staying there. I can barely wedge my phone in there.... Thanks for any responses! Boomer |

has anybody changed out the all of the chrome for plain black on their S50?
I am planing on doing so to mine and just wanted to see the final result and wonder if you purchased powder coated stuff or DIY for the cheap? |

Hi everyone! I recently bought a Vespa S 125 Zaffferano and would like to add some bar end weights. Anyone have experience doing that? I'd like to know if the three is already in the bar before I cut the rubber
Any links very welcome! Thanks in advance |

Don't be scared to put the miles on it, I live in the West Midlands and have ridden to Tenby, Aberystwyth, Long Mynd on mine. Although i don't like the look of the flyscreen, it does add a few mph which is handy when your doing 200 miles + runs. Another thing I added was the rear grab-rail which makes it easier for getting on the main stand. Hope you get the CBT sorted soon so we can see some 'action shots' ![]() ![]()

Hopefully the action shots won't be too long coming CBT booked for end of July. I find if I stay off motorways, they are a great little go anywhere bike |
