Modern Vespa

Hey David,

Is it time for a re-pop of these? It looks like you'd have people lined up to buy them...I know I would buy a couple. Those were among the highest quality license plate frames I've ever seen.

Those are cool. I would buy one. I was thinking about just buying one of the plain boring chrome ones from Motorsport Scooters, but I would much rather have this. The light blue color, please

Yes please!
I'll take two in Red and one in Vintage Green please.... gotta stable full!

We see loose ones only rarely, and on trade in's. I certainly would have no problem giving them to you guys however at this time none here.



"My dealer decided that the license plate frame on my scoot needed to come off and his own needed to go on, and now mine is lost!"


Wow taking your shit off like that? We only do that if somebody ask's.

Best,

THANK YOU! I work at a motorcycle dealership and we would NEVER remove something that belonged to the customer.... they didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with what they did at all. Even when I reamed them. Their answer was that they would take one off another customer's scooter! (Which I declined).... it really ruined an otherwise excellent Service experience for me.
Too bad I don't live near either of your dealerships!

These frames are super rare in good condition! I have a one-of-a-kind, custom, non-painted frame! Ok, it's not that special. The ET light green color looked horrible on my midnight blue GTS, so I used parts cleaner to strip the paint off. It turned out really nice!

Yeah, I'm still undecided whether the green looks okay on my green GTS:

I would say it looks fabulous. Darn near custom. Still only 2 "Arno green" GTS's on the road ever that we know of.

I'm loving that plate....where does someone get one made like that in the UK? Any ideas where to start!?

Tim, only thing is the newer plates we have are big already..as you know. ....and im not so sure we can add to them by law ??.....expect someone will know through........iv seen a few plate makers, at some of the scooter, motorbike, auto fairs etc..but they do look good , mart

I think it's beautiful Arno! I just wish they were legal here.

Oh and by the way Jess, thanks so much for removing the photo tags when you quote somebody. Great new feature! I don't have to remove them myself anymore!

I love those frames and would love to have one too. I currently have a HD frame also in a heavy nice metal from Hawaii. Nice but not as nice as a Vespa frame.

Well Robyn is taken care of. Who will be next, haha.

I felt bad for her as the other guys threw her shit out.

SDG

Dave is the BOMB!
I may just have to trailer my scoots up to you to take care of them!

Thank you for finding me a replacement frame, I swear I was ready to go over to Torrance (oops! did I spill the beans?) and roll some heads I was getting all worked up again!

Thank you, thank you thank you, Dave!

That's good of you!

That's really cool you were able to come up with one for her bike. Very nice of you to take care of someone when another dealer disappoints.

That's a nice licence frame. I'd put money down for something like that.

My scoot would love for me to put some money down for that frame. A lot better than the plastic piece I'm sporting now. I've seen sites with frames, but that stands out as nice as any.

Thanks. It and two VSO frame's just went in a big blue USPS box by my own hand. It is all good.

Now, that is a good deed.

I got mine from the girl in the picture below, I forgot her name. She was happy to get rid of it, and I the opposite

Why wouldn't you re-pop these. If people all over the country are asking for them they sure must be special. And these are free ADVESRTISING.

I'd have them made already.

In the picture would be Brian, Sylvia and Colin. Thanks for sharing a nice photo of 3 dear friends of mine. Ain't she a hottie !! Ha.

Well as the locals would know Vespa of California is now a defunct corporation as myself and one other bought out their 3 stores.

It's a new day and we need a new design, I will certainly order a new version.

Contest?

Best,
SDG

I think the whole point was the retro-theme they possess.

Contest?-Good idea

Well we got VTO, VSO and a webpage of Vespato.com

Have fun. Ha.

SDG

I totally agree, I'd buy one especially if I didn't have to modify it to get it to work with our Ontario plates.

Yes she is and the men are pretty hot too,

Oh boy that's the last thing Colin needs to hear, he is already pretty proud of himself. I hope he reads this, LMAO.

I think the frames are attractive to people because they don't really appear to be advertising a business (and since Vespa of California is no more, they really aren't). I'm not a fan of those advertising frames, but I have the Vespa of California plate frame on my scooter ... it came with the scoot.

I love the look of those frames. I'd pay to get my hands on one too!

I think all the Vespa dealerships should have this style of frame.

"Hello Vespa? Yeah, get on that."

Just realized that Windbreaker and I are probably among the few with this frame on a GTS. When the frames were available, only the ET2 and 4 existed, so only by transferring it would it be on a post '03 bike. We see them on '01-'03 ET's coming in for service all the time.

Tease!

You think those people would notice if you switched the frames?? Huh? Eh? Eh?

LOL I KID! I love the look of yours once you stripped the paint off. It looks sweet!

Thanks! It means a bit more to me than most, having worked for the company for a few years before SDG took over.

If you come up with a cool new retro design you can count me in.

Cat, I love your new avatar, good work girl.

Thanks Benny!

+1 I have one of these Vespa of CA frames. Had no idea they were in demand!
I took it off and replaced it with a chrome frame when I became frustrated with the previous ownership. This was before Drew et. al. even worked there, back in the days when Tammy was still there. Always liked the folks working at that shop; now there's a likable owner, too.

Still, they're very nice frames. A VSO/VTO version would be welcome!

Thanks for that Eric. We certainly feel the same way about you.
