Modern Vespa

I took it to big people for one reason, instead of working on it myself. Colin at Sportique is paying for the repairs. I have worked on all of my previous vehices myself prior to this. the fact that the bike is not running and Victor himself cannot figure out the issue makes me think that I would have been very unworthy of fixing it myself!
a.s.

Since you have experience working on your px, and it is a newer bike as well, I think your instincts are correct in telling you that you should get another px, especially since you want to use it as a daily rider, and ESPECIALLY since it would be more consistent with you screen name.

Agreed, screen name and scooter TOTALLY clash.

I am on an after election day high....but scootering as a whole has jumped the shark thanks to clowns like you......


We have had this discussion before.....
Cry me a fucking river.....you crying poor is heelarious.......
Don't try & bring any sad stories into the fact that you are spoiled & probably.....I am going out on a limb here.....a huge pain in the ass as a customer..............
You think you are entitled to the finest things while being unable to care for them or even actually afford them..
I recall your awesome "blog" or whatever that crap was.....

You spend money you don't have like a drunk Russian sailor
You are all about image.....



Your PX?.....I have heard tales of your shenanigans with that bike....If I am not mistaken they were detailed up here?.....

Strange how this beautiful bike has turned into some disaster....why do I get the feeling that you had something to do with it?


I really don't care but your constant whining about it is pretty annoying.
And the fact that you probably have given Collin the biggest headache ever...(And Victor @ Big People)..
Sadly you like many others who buy over their heads when it comes to a vintage machine...ANY vintage machine by the way... you will probably end up destroying a beautiful bike........

why don't you trade your tickets to the next "Of Montreal" show,your overpriced helmet, size zero lady jeans & too tight ironic shirt for the following items:





Be prepared for this:


And This:


Or buy one of these:



Otherwise stock up on these:



And shut the fuck up.....

oh holy mother of god thom

After the awesome election I am actually feeling a bit of remorse at my Internetty Bullyness....


But fuck it....
If I have to slap a couple of emo kids around with credit cards & ipods stuffed with crap music to blow off steam?
Then so be it......



(Greasy threatened to make me a moderator....how fucking funny would THAT be?)

I could be #408,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.01

look on the bright side....that's an ss180 that may be put into play very, very soon.

Dude...that was funny...well done.

I can't think of anything worse (other than a viet bodge scoot or a chinese POS) than a pu$$y a$$ pink f*ing buddy..if only that one was a 50cc that would have made it better...

oh

my god




"of montreal"


that was awesome.


sorry AS, but you're the innocent punching bag today.

NEW PX150...need ideas!

[topic34021]
I'm back...with questions
Les Atelier Ruby Helmet PHOTOS!!!
Vespa Super Sport 180 Woes (Soon to be resolved!?!)

okay everybody, i know it's been fun ... but maybe, just maybe, it's time to stop tearing chunks out of adam and get back to offering actual helpful advice. just a thought.

I thought Thom had some really good advice

Only because I am in a stellar mood?
I thought I was being helpful......


I keed ,I keed.....this election has been damn inspiring....And when they start "spreading the wealth"?

I am flying to Seattle & taking a fender off of his SS & possibly swiping his helmet....
I shall lay off lady jeans.

It was true, if a bit harsh...

.... that he did.

let me rephrase that .... can we all try expressing ourselves a little more diplomatically?

[that's thom's cue to start moaning about freedom of speech, the necessity of taking one's lumps, 480 squidillion moderators all riding his arse, cramping his style, etc. etc. etc. .... ]

it's called tough love!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah the freedom of speech thing doesn't really apply so I have been told....But that taking lumps thing is pretty true.

Style cramping........408.......not 480....






I shall cry razor blades for you all.............
I am fucking enjoying myself today.....They should elect a new president every damn day....

if every scooter he gets on doesn't work, then its probably "operator error" ....

hey hey hey! Now what's wrong with Of Montreal? Sure their latest album may not be as good as others, but their older albums are good. What gives??
Thanks for the laughs

There we go....

I was really wanting to like that band for all the great press they received....But it fell short upon a closer listening.

But that is probably just me being a snob.


Buuuuut it was their latest album & I had no inkling to what they were all about having not listened to them before...



Here enjoy a funny cover of Ginuwines "Pony"
By the band "FAR"'s alter ego "Hot Little Pony"
(They just reunited after 10 years for a few shows.)

thom, fix your avatar, it' driving me nuts. how about making it a montage of all the pics you posted (pink buddy, kleneex, etc).

Maybe one of your old Porsche or Subaru mechanics can figure out the problem.

This is why I f'n hate selling a vintage scooter. Inevitably, three days later: "won't start" "who is this? what won't start?" "the ___ you sold me is broken" "did you (turn on) (use choke) (use oil) (learntochangeaf*ckingcableyouuselesstwat) blah blah blah)"

But Mr. PX, good luck. Sucks to have a non-running bike. Sometimes there are just gremlins... Replace the electronics. I know Victor has them around (he just might not sell them to you...)

I'll give you $500 for it.

Absolutely,
I remember selling this P.....

Immaculate, Semi Hydraulic disc brake,Bitubos,J & L (Gofast expansion in the pic), custom paint, fresh PX200 motor...blah,blah,blah.....IMMACULATE & tight as fuck.
Anyone who has ever seen the bike could vouch for it......you could eat off the underside & the motor.

Sold it to a very nice woman...she was awesome.

Her dipshit husband does not check the tire pressure as I repeatedly told them to do.

Rides it with an almost flat tire.....with their kid on it.....blow out...eats shit...ends up at the hospital.
Fucks the bike up & is probably still languishing in their garage....My kickass daily rider.....



Starts making calls about the "lemon" I sold them....
Sheesh......I cringe at the thought of selling any of my bikes these days without some written form.

Hey, the Wonder Woman lammie! Haven't seen that in a while.

Nice looking P, too. Ha, get it? P, too - P2?

I kill me.

that's the beauty of having a dealer's license. take it to an auction, it goes away forever into la-la land, never to be heard of again.

I've been stuck inside all day and not able to ride my Vespa and want to thank all posters for the entertainment I have received from viewing this thread.

very funny

My fave lammy for the longest time....CH's bike....It is now a shocking Orange & freshly rebuilt.

Hey Hipster, how was your bus ride today?
Please DO NOT buy a "knock off" Stella. I love mine.
I would really miss your build em up and break um threads. I believe deep down that is just the real you, and you have got to keep it real!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Hey Thom, couldn't stay away, huh?

I am such a fucking douche.....and.....after bumping elbows with legions of skinny jean wearing,iPhone texting,credit card wrangling, tween clods (not all of em...we met some nice kids as well) at the Rise Against/Thrice show Saturday..This gem of a thread brought me in for some creative internetting.....




My life is that boring........I will most likely fade into exile again, but I just couldn't resist

I think I found the proper replacement scooter for adamspx.

I think it will fit his criteria for image and reliability.

i can't think of a better accessory to go with that helmet.

can somebody di-rect-me to the helmet? i missed that part

Les Atelier Ruby Helmet PHOTOS!!!

$800 for a f*ing helmet.

the last p200 i bought didn't even cost $800

nice name dropping on the leica as well

i hate to say it, but man, you are deserving everything that you re getting in here

come on you a-holes....I just let it go....

dont drag me back in with THAT fucking post.....


Even more comedy gold in there......




8 hundred dollars to look like an emorexic version of this doorknob



(actually I love the Great Gazoo...& that helmet is fucking gorgeous....But I would feel like a pretentious cockgobbler wearing it.)


I could buy 2 of these babies right here.....


Love my Arai.....





(EDIT: I forgot that there were a few real winners replying to that post in his defense as well......Man I miss MJ........)

See what you have done?????

sorry, i just saw a some fancy retail website selling Lammys for 25k, so it was only natural to think of this and that post, and then after shelling out 25k for it, powder coating everything black, and then carbon this and that everything, then trashing it from not knowing how to kickstart it properly, then putting it on craigslist like the SS with 3 pictures of the bike and a self portrait of the seller shot in the mirror with a camera for some unknown weird reason, and i couldn't resist.

not that we didn't know it was coming:
