shouldn't be that hard to do if you start with 1/4" tape on the inner edge, it should be thin enough to follow the curve. then finish off with something wider, you don't have to be as neat since the 1/4" stuff is defining the crucial line

Great job with the martini stickers cecil. I like the look of the euro s125's with out the turn indicators we get here in the states. I also think you don't get all the reflectors unless you took them off.

Sergiebelski great pics as always. You need to put some of those in the artsy pic topic in discussions.

Cheers cheetohh, I'll have to look out for the stateside S's you talk about. Bike came like that, all sprayed up and martini'd up. Was part of a promotion in a bar to sell the most martini!! I won it on ebay when the bar owner decided to sell it. I love it!

Windscreen
Hi guys, I just bought a White S 150 for my girlfriend and we are currently looking at getting a windscreen. Thinking about the Vespa Flyscreen and the Cuppini Mid screen. Which one did you guys get and how do you like it so far? Any reviews would be much aprreciated. thx.

Nuclear, we put the flyscreen on our S and right away I really noticed a big difference as soon as I hit 40mph. I just don't feel as much wind on my chest. Also, I notice that I'm going overall faster with less effort, if that makes any sense.

Here is a shot of our S with a flyscreen.

Also, I found this artwork in an alley by my house, and I couldn't resist.

I just didn't first fill up today and noticed that my gas guage needle doesn't go all the way to the full mark. Maybe just a tad pass the 3/4 mark but that's about it. The tank is full for sure as I had a bit of a spillage. It almost hit empty and the light came on momentaritly but I was only able to put in 4.5L of gas. Anyone else have a faulty gas gauge? Thx.

I just got the new 2011 S 150 s.i.
It's beautiful thing, and I will post pictures soon.
I got a white matching case for it, but really don't want to mess with the basic/true/minimalist lines of this sweet white bike.
Has anyone else gone through the same concern? function over form?

I have the same concern. I would love the extra room of a top case but I love the look of the solo seat. I also think the Vespa OEM case is expensive!

I'm going to compromise by getting a rack with a roll bag I think, but for now, everything goes on my poor back in a Chrome bag.

I broke down and put the case on. I can somewhat easily remove it and just keep the bar and bracket on if need be. It does change the look for sure, and not for the better.
Thankfully the case price was 50% off so that made it a bit less painful.

I just changed out my gel seat cushion for an Airhawk so it's time to put up some new pics. Oh and the odometer is on 25,876 miles.

I swapped the sport seat for the touring, which i kind of regret b/c the sport seat had orange stitching.
bad ass color you have there!!! would of been my choice if I didn't already have an orange scoot in the garage.

there is somethin about the S that makes us just that more cooler huh!
