Hi,

Today I bought my first scooter - A lovely plum coloured Vespa 125 GT. It is a 2006 bike and is in great condition. I now can't wait for it be delivered in a week or so - just got to buy the safety gear and sort the insurance now.

I will post some pictures was I have them.

Does anyone know of any informal scooter/vespa clubs in Somerset, UK?

Cheers,

Dibs

Congrats on the new scoot.

When I first read your post I was wondering why a scooter shop would be open on the 4th of July. Then I saw you were in the UK. I guess it isn't a holiday there. Maybe it should be - well rid of us. lol

And here I was totally planning to get an iPhone so that I could mount it on left mirror stalk and post to MV while riding.  I'd only need to take off one glove to work the touch screen.  Razz emoticon

Dibs, congrats on the purchase and welcome to MV!

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone does that.. if they haven't already. There was a scooter at Amerivespa in Seattle that had a computer with internet access, built into the glove box.

Hi Dibs,
You might like to join the GTSOwners forum as well. It is mainly UK, and you should make contact with other riders/clubs in your area there.
