I've lurked here for some time and learned much, but this is my first post.

Today, a scooter followed me home. It's a white 2006 GT and I'm lovin' it. Only got to do 25 miles in warm sun before gray clouds and cold returned. It's sleeting now. Not sure what the color is called, but it's not the diamond white, it's more of a bright white.

I wanted to love the snakeskin seat, but couldn't, so Scooter Centrale changed it out for the black.

Hopefully there'll be adventure shots to follow.

Looks good. I love white. I bought a GTS last week and the previous owner put the snakeskin GT seat on it. He's looking for an original seat for me. If it doesn't work out I'll trade you for your black one. Pics are here:

First off, * C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S !!! * on your new Vespa and welcome to the world of Vespa.

Secondly, good move on ditching the snake skin seat. Razz emoticon

I hate (wink wink nudge nudge) when scooters follow me home. I feel kinda responsible for them at that point.

The white with the all black seat looks super clean. I am very jealous.

In the interest of brevity I had left out that God played a role in getting the GT home by sending a shephard.

pjlblkone arrived at the dealer just as I was getting ready to ride home, and he saw to it that rider and mount made it safely.

Thank you pjlblkone - now if you could just convince my wife it is a good thing.[/u]
