Am I right? Two tone seats, Vespa "logo" on the spare tire cover - cheap looking trim and crash bars. Vietnamy flat spot for license plate?

All that glitters is not bodge
B'hipster, if you don't like the flashy stuff here's a nice one like it closer to you and it's cheaper too.

I think I've spotted my first local bodge. With the scooter community in Cleveland so active, you wouldn't think this could happen here...
So, this ad is pretty thin on details, but the scooter in question features two-tone paint, low mileage as indicated by the odometer, and rear reflectors conveniently placed to cover up square license plate mounting holes. https://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/6010992621.html ![]() ![]() Is it a bodge? If so, what other giveaways did I miss? |
