Congradulations Cazal69
On both the new wife, and the scoot you now have!! Clap emoticon Clap emoticon Love them both well and you will be able to enjoy them both for many years.
Set up a timer or grab a friend and take a picture of you and your wife on the scoot!! I love seeing the people who ride as well as the scoots!!

Welcome to MV, and you can probably find several Vespa T5's on here somewhere.. If not just post a thread in the PhotoGallery asking for pictures of T5's be sure to get pictures of yours on there too.

Welcome cazal69. You'll find a great bunch of folks here as well as a lot of good info. Be sure to learn how to use the search and the wiki. If you can't find answers to your questions, feel free to ask. There are a lot of scooter "old timers" here (I'm not one of 'em) who are fountains of knowledge. Like others have said, pics are always enjoyed and appreciated

welcome sir you might also want to drop in on the crusties in the 'not so modern' section - they'll be able to provide you with a load of useful information on geared scooters.

Hi and welcome to MV.
Congrats on the T5.
Not to be negative, but I hope you have a good lock and secure garage. My Bro-in-laws T5 lasted just a few months before someone needed it more than he did. Taken from a locked underground garage in central London.

Good luck.

You can ride to Sydney from Auckland alright... just a couple of simple mods will do
