Modern Vespa

just thought id show yous a pic of my new wheels

Grats! PX___ 150 or 200? Love the southern cross, beats my checks.

its a 200 we dont get as many one fiddys here , ive ditchd the sc sticker since then dunno why really but every bogan and his dog has one on their ute
im still not happy with the factory jetting my last px ran a 118 and ,.e. reckons go 120 so ill buy one of each and if it dont like it ill save em till i get a sito plus or something

I have no idea what that means, I'm sure it's english but it's either a problem with:

A: Weird Aussie slang
B: My only Aussie friend has yet to teach me what "Bodan" means
C: I'm drunk because I don't have to work tomorrow and have ahd a couple (half a bottle) of whiskeys and not much to eat.

Bogan= wears black or dirty jeans , checkered flanny and either ACDC or metallica shirt often seen driving a holden or ford ute (pickup) or hilux 4wd (suv) plus long greasy hair or mullet drinks beer from cans or bundaberg rum

bundaberg rum = rum grown and brewed in bundaberg queensland =very good rum

bushmills is awesome whisky i like the one with the black label

What is that ...like an ozzie hillbilly or redneck ?

Or in Minnesota, a Jack Pine Savage!

Redneck would be the closest. Joe Dirt was a Bogan.

yeah very true i hate the southern cross....ever since the cronulla riots. is a symbol of national pride totally hijacked by rascists and yobbos

Bogans are just Aussies that got stuck back in the '70's - they are mostly ok, but wear some seriously bad clothes and hairdos. We still love them over here and they are mostly not red necks. (the mullet hairdo keeps the sun off). nehoo that was my mums typing /shes just as pissed as me
very similar to grunge

redneck over here is kindve a racist thing but
DILLIGAF i dunno
none o my mates r white neway theyre all noongars ........i dont even have one white mate except for that reall skinny one and the round one darren

a hillbilly would be somebody that comes from kalllamunda thats pretty much the only big hill round here

neway ive got a mullet rat tail goin on i think its kindve scooterboyish also boganish

Like the St George Cross in England.

I don't hate it but the first thing I pictured was guys in bonds singlets covered in tuff guy stickers getting into carto's of VB by the beach. Then in the afternoon after taking off the singlet getting into fisty cuffs with each other or anyone else. That was last Australia day where I live, shame really.

I do think there are elements of the Bogan in all Australians.

well, to be fair, Nationalism can readily be perceived as racism and xenophobia depending on the person viewing it.

The Cronulla flag, the St George flag are probably on par .... the worse version here is the Confederate flag. Many southerners still proudly display this flag ( i think it still flies in front of the capitol building in south carolina? ), despite it's offensiveness to many and it's linkage with the years of slavery that went with it... and that war was fought under it's colors to preserve slavery, etc. ( not to distill down the civil war to just being about 'slavery', but history has a habit of simplifying things into single-issue topics )

I don't know... i guess i don't have a problem with people flying these flags as long as they realize the sort of dualistic reactions it's going elicit with the viewers. You may end up being written off as a racist, or people might be drunk enough to see it as an invitation to kick your ass...depending on where you live.

yeh alien i didnt read your post till just then but i agree its been a bit hijacked by racists an shit thats kindve why i took it off
its a pity the worlds goin this way (but i dont want to be a part of it)
fek i dont know what to say about that sh9t weve got so many boatloads coming looking for work at my place so many f,ing bomers and snake charmers i dont give a fek where they come from i just wish they could understand my accent

oh shit now my last post sounds bad but fuck i get anoyed when people (foriegners) dont get my accent

but lets not forget the SC is on the fing flag atleast until they ditch the monarch flag and put up the indigenous flag im still waiting for the day

anyways getting off this topic coz it will no doubt lead to arguments.......when i was in perth recently so many good places to ride....much more than melbourne.

i wont start argueing but im smashed as a crab

nofx

don't call me white


(oh yea - wrong thread)

please abandon this thread i dont want to hear any more from white aussies unless its nofx

i dont know how this pic of my scoot turned to bullshit its just a few stars that we can see and a sticker that has been removed
i hope it fixes itself

f u --.k=;i;ing; ghi;ck.up's sh

where's the rest of it ?

The PX series rocks, a buddy of mine has an 05 PX200 & an 03 (I think) PX150. The shifting is so sweet and smoothe compared to my old P200Es.

Congrats you lucky dog. Post more photos.

Ride Safe

Ditto on that. I put a 05 PX150 motor in my Sprint and I thought that something was too "loose" with the shifting...was just used to the tighter shifting...but it just shifts like butter...soooo nice!

After riding them, Not sure I want an older P.

Ride Safe
Manny

I want a P200 or T5 (round headlight) if I can find one for my next project...If I get the P200 then I'm going to go with the Cosa clutch fo sho!
