Modern Vespa

If anyone is interested, came across this site that has the Tecnica books available as free pdf's. They are in Italian, but since they are pdf's, you can copy and paste the text into Google Translator. Or you can translate through Babylon. I'm on a Mac, so there was no free version of Babylon, but there are versions for PC's.

Just copy and paste the download url into a new browser window, click "request download ticket" and "download". Saves you $100 bucks a book.

Thanks ! Jamie every little bit helps.. I'll be checking it out... Brian

Thanks for posting that link. I now have the tecnica manuals on my laptop and on the tip of my fingers at a moments notice! Huge files though... I might try and compress these into smaller PDF files and post them somewhere for forum users to have access to forever. That link might disappear...

anybody downloaded babylon, say the license has expired

From the PDF you can just copy and paste the text from whatever page you are interested into Babel translator - http://babelfish.yahoo.com/

rough translations but you will get the picture...

Thank you! I don't own a vintage bike (yet!), but I've got my eye on one. Having the book d/l'd and on the HDD ahead of time will provide some piece of mind when it comes time to use it.

I have a few brand new, in shrinkwrap, hardcover, vol 5 PX '77 - '02. $80.00 plus shipping. Email me if your interrested.

book four is not there. you can view them there if you do not have an account. The files are too big to e-mail, so if anyone out there doesn't have an account and wants them, PM me and I can snail-mail them to you

Downloads are cool, but I much prefer flipping pages.

I think this link was intended more for the "cheap ass" type

I hear that!!!
