I’ve had it on the brain to buy some all winter, but haven’t quite convinced myself to spend the money and do the wiring. I’d love to hear a ringing endorsement so I can justify the expense and effort.

Glad to see the warm weather gave you and Paul a good ride. Looks like fun! I’ve been riding around in my Miata mx-5 that Stacy got me for graduation. 🙂

Steve, spend 10 minutes 3-4 times a week on doing some Ab and low back excercises,you’ll reap dividends in just a short time for those longer days. Plus stretch after the rides,that’ll help keep you from doing the, Paul middle of the road stretches:)
I knew you’d love that GTS!
Peace!
Cody

I might add that your scooter is faster than my 400cc Suzuki. I think my top speed is not higher than 80 now with the new gear. -Paul

I thought there was a novelty component that would eventually wear off.

The extra power is nice. Makes the ride more manageable in all situations so far.

Rb: Thanks! While that much time hasn’t passed since the last post a lot of time has passed since I was out riding a hundred miles.

The Vespa GTS 250ie is just a great scooter and fits perfectly into my riding aspirations.

Oh, and to ride at speed knowing that there is still throttle to spare is the best, especially when riding with a friend on a larger, more powerful steed.

Have fun,
Bill
