And you have a good spam.

Hi fellow Vespa owners,
I've managed to shoot three photos of my S50

bought vinyl, cut it up, slapped it on; time spent = 2 hours

Im thinking, 1000 miles after my last oil change from the dealership, that I should change my oil. I'm just wondering, all you S enthusiests, how to go about changing the oil and what oil to use? I want to do it myself, seeing how it costs $ to get the dealership to do it. The last time was a free complimentary first time change, but after that I'm guessing they will charge an arm just to change it when I could do it myself for just the price of the oil and/or filter. Please help, I'm lazy and don't wanna ask my dealership how to do it.

Check out this thread: LX150 Oil Change - Problem

Ok thanks. My dad did all of it for me, I just bought the oil and filter. Mechanic dads are the best.

Yo peeps. I'm thinking of getting the Faco front rack. I have the back rack And Its awesome but I already want some more room for my scooter...any one have the front rack? is it good? by the time I'm done buying bags for this thing its gonna look like a mule lol. ill take new pics when I get a camera...can't seem to convince myself $200 is worth it for a camera...

I seem to be the only one on this thread anymore lol...any way..i ordered the front rack and another dowco bag...I'm wondering about a short windscreen that isn't $200+. Vespa brand stuff is super expensive...is there another brand that sells windshields for less?

You're not alone! Well, I'm thinking about flyscreen, my dealer haven't sent me prices yet so i'm still waiting i see you are planing long trip, so good luck and pictures please!

lol I am not planning a long trip...I'm just buying everything I want for my scooter now while I have the money. My scooter is my only vehicle, I dont have a car, So i need all the bags and racks I can get.

Scoot with new front rack up Emigration Canyon in Utah. 8)

scoots coming together quite nicely scnooby. I'd say a nice flyscreen might be in order.

I bought an S150 today after a couple of months of research and lusting! It's red, because that's the only color vehicle I've driven for years. A rear rack (from Vespa) is on order. I'm trying to decide on a top box - probably will get one since my helmet barely fits under the seat. Also deciding on a windshield.

I'm new at riding, so I will be taking the beginner's course in a couple of weeks. Thanks to everyone of this forum for your pictures and your helpful information!

Looks great, Rodriquez! Any other modifications you're thinking about doing?

Okey, one more question! About the flyscreen, it feels when you ride better with it or not? Is it really worth buying or it's just a nice part witch makes your S looking good as hell ;D

Nice Scoot Rcrod. They say red is faster OBTW flyscreens look hot on the S.

With more pics of ME!

Yeah, good move Scootnoob

I think i should share my todays story oh man, my S50 felt on side today for the first time i raised it on standing legs and it was soft ground under it one guy sitted on it, i know him, and the Vespa leaned on a side a little it looked pretty good not falling so didn't mind about that but after 5mintues it it felt Well, nothing big happened just reflector broke and brake lever a little bit bended, but thats fine now the reflector is being glued and is drying. Thanks god no scratches on the side!


Okey to keep it gallery one photo from my last trip

Ah, nice ride that was, you can check more photos on Topic "Lithuania is my country"

Sorry for delay in responding... Thank you for the compliment. I think it looks great too!

I don't know enough about other modifications other than the rear rack and windshield. Not planning others at this time. Anything you'd suggest, I'd appreciate the input.

I got a great deal on the full windshield so bought it. I decided I want something bigger than the flyscreen, though I agree with you that they look great. I plan to cut it down to a 'midsize' screen since I think the full size is overkill.

Beautful day yesterday for a ride. Here is my 50.

This weekend, the Lincoln scooter club Scoot to Thrill hosted an epic weekend event: the 2nd annual ScootStock. Here are some photos from event which happened this past weekend...it was wonderful! If you're in a position to come to next years event, we'd love to have you! Here is Scoot to Thrill's Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/groups/scoot2thrill/ and here is the ScootStock site: http://www.scootstock.com/ where you will read descriptions about rides, food, our sponsors, etc.

You'll find so many more pictures on the Facebook page...Enjoy!

Can I ask you where you got those silver racing stripes on the sides?

New poster here.

Eres me scoot.



Had it a week, and love it. Needs a good wash though. Looks like the bloke who had it before me hasn't cleaned it in 2 years.

I got a full size Vespa windshield and cut it down to a midsize. The full size is way too tall for my taste. I read about cutting windshields in another forum and it turned out to be a pretty easy task.

I cut it so the top is about even with my mouth - it's low enough to see and high enough that the wind goes over my helmet. It cuts down on turbulence at higher speeds and will really help when it gets cold. It doesn't seem to impact the top speed (based on a couple of trips).

The windshield is easy to install and remove - takes me less than 5 minutes to tighten the 2 bolts. I plan to leave it off while it's hot and put it on when it starts getting cooler this fall.

Here are a couple of pictures with the windshield.

That red S is looking better allthe time Rcrod. Once you start accesorising it's awfulhard to stop.

my week-old s50 only does 46kmh and as far as i know, speed limit here (auckland, nz) is 50kmh and tolerance is 10kmh over. therefore safe speed is 50kmh. anybody has similar issue?

yuffer as i understand you want it a little bit faster? you should derestrict your Vespa I'm working on it too. If you want to do it by yourself wright massage to Fabio Daugie(search in members category) He should help, if you are not going to do it by yourself so just go to your dealer they should make the thing safe riding

This thread is dieing again! Let's see if we can keep it on the front page!

I'll post some new pics later. The thread has this stupid size limit so my 19000000x120000000000000000 sized pictures on my new camera have to be edited down. lawl.

There you go.

White fits S! Great looking pic Rickyd!!!

Okey found something Photos from Facebook, it's end of season meeting ;P Just great memories from it













Mine is the orange one ) Love the collor!

More pictures:

I took my first road trip today - it was about 100 miles. Found a some great roads to ride in the countryside. This time of year in northern Alabama it's great for riding and the trees have some very nice color. Also it's cotton picking time, but I found a field that has not been picked yet to snap a photo.

Those S's sure are purty. And some wonderful scenery.

greetings!

new here, new to scooting. have about 4 weeks under my belt and loving every minute of it. my 2008 s is damn close to pristine, a tiny, nearly imperceptible scratch just gives her character, I think (or at least that's what I tell myself). Added a few accessories, love the windscreen.

one of my french bulldogs has taken a liking to her, too

Welcome to the world of Scootering "blue_eyed_pixie", & your dog is very comfortable so it seems..lol my S model is also a 2008 model witch had one previous owner who put 15 miles on clock & then taken it back to dealership..has he found that he missed the bigger bikes. So I snapped this up like a rocket...although I find that a few people on the net do own Vespa S's, I on the other hand have never seen anybody actually riding one. I'm a member of a Scooter club & we go on ride outs twice a week but like the purist's, they do prefer the PX models or older. But i love the S Model & i'm hoping very shortly to get some chrome kit on it plus fly screen. Enjoy!!!

Great thread!

I just got my S and am loving it...


I posted up an intro message here: New guy with a S 150

We rode out yesterday to see three Covered Bridges in Blount County (Alabama). Unfortunately, all three are closed to traffic since they are not maintained.

It is the longest road trip I've taken so far - 155 miles. It was very windy so we got buffeted a lot.

Thanks for all the inspiration you folks have given me to get out there and ride. The Vespa is a great way to enjoy the countryside!
