My Italian Mid-Life Crisis
Finally achieved a mid-life crisis, and it's a great one!
The sweet 75-year old previous owner's leg degeneration forced him to retire from riding. He was a Vespa salesman over the past 30 years on a few continents, and a MSF instructor, so the 2006 scooter (12K mileage) was near mint with substantial upgrades including HID light, air horn, the box, the front rack, new battery, two new (unmounted tires), three helmets including a higher end Nolan, battery trickler, puncture kit (included acc. pump), vintage BMW leather jacket, visibility vest, rain pants, case of synth oil, tools, and "Vespa Parking Only" signage. I won't mention cost as it would inspire too much hate mail for a first post. Anyway, the ride is heavenly. Ain't never had any kind of two-wheeler before. The garage behind the scooter is featured in a new auto-racing feature film, "Clutch" which was filmed in part in my community. M

2006 Granturismo 200l/GT200
This was taken summer 2013 when I first bought her (before I even washed her and before the first ride I took to get her inspected which ended in me having an accident). As you can see, she is in desperate need of restoration (so any help on parts, advice, tips, etc would be incredible). The exhaust is in much worse of a state now (what's left of it). -CS
