Modern Vespa

Hello,

I was searching for technical information for a Vespa ET4 and came across this forum.

I bought my girlfriend a Vespa ET4 for her birthday. She chose the pearl colour. We ride the Vespa when ever we have a chance. She lives in the country, so, there are plenty of open road with minimal traffic. It is great fun!

Thanks...

Gordon

Hey Welcome Gordon...

This is a great place to find info on Vespa's. Have fun.

Welcome to the forum! I think you'll find there are a lot of "Torontonians" here

ET4 was my first MV. Great bike. Welcome!

Welcome. Come on in and enjoy

Not another Torantan!!!! What have you been up to Benny!

Oh, welcome anyway, Jiver. Enjoy the ride.

welcome

i have never been a fan of white cars/scoots

but that pearl sure is a neat color

Greetings! ET4's rock the house. 8)

You'll find lots of information, and excellent camaraderie here-- and may even be able to hook up with some of your local mates via this site. Click early and often-- and have your GF join us too!

Welcome!

Hey Gordon, welcome to Modern Vespa. Torontonians rule! Yes we plan on taking over the helms of Modern Vespa, don't tell Jess. We put MV cards on every vehicle two and four wheels in the city.

Gordon, whereabouts in the city are you located? We have an awesome scooter club in Toronto and we have rides in the works almost every weekend of the spring summer. Here's a link to the Toronto Moto Scooter Club http://scooter.meetup.com/197/
Hope you join up and introduce yourself. Then sign up for the next scheduled ride in the Beaches neighbourhood http://scooter.meetup.com/197/calendar/5572040/

Hope to see you posting on MV and see you at the next ride!

Yes Sarah you got it right, Torontonians.

... for the welcome everyone. Nice to know there is a globel community of scooter owners and riders.

PDXVespa, I will talk to her.

Christos X, you are funnie. The ET4 is stored over the winter months. We would like to keep it clean and salt free. I have included a photo of ET4 and GF.

TorontoTL, I live in Scarborough and my GF lives west of Brantford. Hopefully, we could both come out to a meet and ride. Are there meets/rides in the Brantford area?


The day the dealer dropped it off...

Thanks...

Gordon

Gordon, we have done rides that start in the west end, downtown, east end, Vaughan, and Markham. Have a look at the link to the TMSC site and you can see the rides we've done. We have many more planned for this season.

Lovely scoot and GF. Good to see her with a helmet. Now buy her a nice riding jacket lest she hurt herself.

Thanks for posting.

indeedy! Also, might want to get some gloves.

Beautiful bike. I'd welcome an ET into my stable any day.

Yes, the helmet was the first safety item. The photo was taken the day the scooter was delivered to her by the dealer. The black helmet was a loaner as her Pearl hemet was back-ordered. She has since added light-weight armoured ridng jacket and Icon Street-fighter riding gloves. She has also added a matching Pearl colour rear carrier.

Thanks...

Gordon

Welcome Aboard Gordon!

What a nice boyfriend you are to buy her a Vespa!! I used to have an LT150 in pearl, it is a beautiful color.

Is your girlfriend a member of Modern Vespa also?



Mel

Welcome Gordo. Pretty bike. Pretty girlfriend. Congrats on both.

What's up with the avatar? I 'm guessing from the avatar and "jiver" you dance. I have a special place in my heart for ballroom dancing. I was taking lessons to impress at a friends wedding. That's where I met my wife. During a group class on my first night, she took pity on me and my two left feet. We've been dancing together ever since. I have a mean Rhumba, Samba, Swing and Argentine Tango, even with the 2 left feet . My real problem is I can't hear the beat. My wife just whispers the dance in my ear and we're off, cha cha cha 2...3...4...

Jerry,

Yes, I am a Ballroom Dance Instructor. Ballroom dance is a passion of mine. Love the music and the connection between two people. Props to you for sticking with dance. There are tons of benefit from dancing... a wife/husband is just one example!

I meet my GF at the dance studio I was working. However, I was not looking for a relationship, it just happened!

Thanks...

Gordon

Hey welcome, from another neighbour!

Mel,

She just found out I joined. So, she has yet to join.

Thanks...

Gordon

And welcome from another here too.

I see you have already heard from our "Toronto Ambassador to the Internet", Benny. also known as Dr. Tai Benny, SCC.
(Founding member of the SCRAWNY Scooter Club)

That's JOINT founding member...

This is very true, I am only a joint founding member. In fact, it really is Ian's group, but one member does not constitute a group. Thus he needed me so to speak to form this most important of scootering groups. Isn't that right Ian?

It's true.I'm the silent partner..

Ian, I doubt anyone would call either of us silent!

FYI. The word is spelled Salient , not silent
He's a Salient member

Welcome, Gordon. Hope to hear from you guys often.
