Modern Vespa

Think we need some more black... Love the look of the s in black looks real class, and makes the Crome stand out!

GET THE ORANGE "S" WHILE YOU CAN!!!!!!!!!!!

It's being discontinued by Vespa!!!

It is? Drat. I happen to think it's a great color for this bike.

Fortunately I got mine while the getting was good. Last Tuesday, in fact.

I upgraded the helmet to a black HJC CL-33 later that afternoon.

Nice Orange Julie Rusty, but let me also say nice Smart Car sibling to the scoot!

Thanks It's the most scooter-like cage there is. Except, maybe, for the cabrio version...

Alright gang, I FINALLY took some time OFF the scoot to take some photos of it - I really regret not taking any when she was right off the showroom floor, when she had less than 2 miles on the odo - As of these photos, she's already due for her first 600 mile scheduled maintenance - I'm intending on adding accessories (chrome, windscreen, etc) piece by piece - In fact, my chrome rear rack should be arriving tomorrow - My first customization was purchasing and installing the "chrome" louvered engine door panel - I think it looks great against the black - Needless to say, I want more chrome (or chrome-looking, anyway) bits - Can't wait to install the rack!

Love it... Black is real nice in the S. And this one looks mega! Post more pics as you bling her up.
Need to see this rear bar setup.

Thanks Dunk! I hope I have time to install it today (if it actually arrives today, the shipping was already delayed once) AND take photos

White Rock lake is always a good back groud for scooter pics...

(You on www.dfwscooterist.com yet???)

Ding! You win! lol Yeah, it was the first time I ventured down there and scooted around - I used to ride my bicycle down there from my neighborhood frequently - Taking Fisher Rd from Abrams all the way down is a great little cruise - Glad I had my camera in my bucket

I've lurked around on DFWScooterist, but haven't signed up - About to now though 8)

Source or it isn't true!

a few more of my black S150, parked next to our smart
i called it, our smart for four

My wife on her new S150.
She is lovin' life.

I'm looking for a flyscreen for it. Anyone know where I can get one online?


My wife's S150

Hi cdn, I bought my windscreen from scooterworks. (link below to their website) I hope they still have this one, it's a midsize, not too tall or short in my opinion. Here is a shot of my S150 with the screen on.

This is my 2008 S150 and a pic of my other toy.

Nice matched set, there!

Like the look of the side stand! i take it thats not the stock one?

oh and nice scoot... Black is way cool! ! ! luv it!

you got the pics of the bling on your scoot yet?
I am thinking of adding some, but would like to see yours!

Ta

i've had my s for a while but have been unable to figure out how to remove the whole top box, which i would like too, i cannot get to the screws on the rear, can anybody help me at all?

thankss

I know this thread is kinda old, but it is nice to see all of the Ss together! I've had mine for a couple of months, I changed the seat, added decals & a fly screen. I'm debating adding a rear rack - don't know which one I want yet. I don't want a front rack, she's too pretty to cover up! This is Esther, my S...

YES YES YES.
Those two look great together!
Nice smart.

I want a smart soooo bad.
I just might have to go drool over a cabrio to convince myself to buy one.

love it! what make of fly screen is that! any more pics?

It's a Vespa fly screen - I got it from my local shop. I'm working on turning vintage Samsonite carry-on bags into saddle bags, I'll post more pics when I'm done!

Hey, all. Great forum. First post for me. Buying my red S 150 tomorrow. They are throwing in the touring seat, no charge, as well. Can't wait.

Thanks for all the great info.

Yay! They did the same for me - I definitely recommend the touring seat. Don't forget to swap the key tumbler (thingie?) before swapping the seats. It makes it a bit difficult to open with out it. Not that I know this from experience....

Grrr, I'm still waiting on my local shop to get their shipment from Italy in... I've got my rear rack that I picked up on Ebay just waiting for a grab rail to be attached to (since the S doesn't come with one, the rack is actually for LX models)

Hopefully this week or next... they're going to call me when they got them in... keeping fingers crossed...

Oop's don't know what happens to my above post!
Should have my rear rack fitted on Tuesday when the s is in for it's service!

Here's my $20 150S. Gotta love raffles at scooter rallies, eh?

WHOA! For serious Crashtest? What scooter rally was that???

(and WHERE is TACO INTERNET!?!)

That was the Dilligaf S.C. rally in Oklahoma City. Weren't many folks there, 25 at most so I decided to spring for $20 in raffle tickets. That NEVER happens and there's never a brand new scooter in the raffle, usually an actual moped with ape-hangers, or a chopped VBB without a title, and good luck getting it street legal.

You know Denver James? I think Ron bought $100 worth and gave 20 to Denver because he carted Ron and his scooter up there, but I won that scooter. Awesome! Anywho, that internet taco place is in the 600 block of S. Beacon, at Lindsley. GTSBerg saw a very small pic of that place that I posted in Facebook and wanted me to put it on the NBCDFW site (he's a program manager for Ch 5), but the cellphone pic was crappy, so I went back on my scooter with a real camera and took it for that.

I still have to get the paperwork for that scooter because I've had it for a little over a month and it's got an expired out of state puchaser's paper license plate (but I have a blank one to fill out that's good for another month).

So far I've got the $20 for raffle tickets in it, plus about $35 in fuel for a round-trip to OKC for gasoline in my little Nissan truck to go get it.

Damn, what a score! (I take it the Taco Internet is in OK too eh?)

The Taco Internet place actually has another name, but it's here in Dallas on the corner of Lindsley and S. Beacon.

Very nice but it needs the cowl protectors on the rear though.

My new bits...

More pics

And another

It is real good, give's me an extra 5 mph and it also keeps rain off just had real bad rain and did not have the usual puddle on my lap! Love it.... !
