Hi lads,

I'm a new Vespa owner, GTV 250, and thrilled to be finally part of the Vespa community. Took my first ride yesterday and it was a dream.
Down the West Cork backroads, avoiding potholes, cow plop and the grassy line in the middle of the road, I finally realized how these roads should really be enjoyed.
Wind in your face, a true appreciation of smells (smoke, tar, slurry, grass, silage) and your body in concert with a truly beautiful machine.
Waking this morning, my oil level was high, my coolant at minimum, and my hub oil was just right.
I 'lurked' around this forum for a month getting valuable tips and insights so that I could look my dealer straight in the face while asking him about forced fluid circulation.
Long live the Vespa dream!
Dommo

Aloha and welcome to the forum. Great scooter you have and thanks for the pics. I'm envious It would be really cool to scoot down old lanes and thru even older towns. Enjoy that new scooter of yours and keep the pics coming 8)

Congrats on your new Vespa
I just got a new 2011 LXV in portofino and have been cruising the island of Key Biscayne off south Florida and it totally rocks! Laughing emoticon
