In reply to Frank.

Frank, I would never declare anyone stupid. Each of us deals with things in our own way and that’s fine. Probably the only thing that’s not fine is telling someone else how they should conduct their life.

Keep washing your scooter. I’ll keep not washing mine so we have balance in the universe!

In reply to len. Sorting out my tools, having an orderly garage, and generally finding order in life is a long term goal. Unfortunately all my character defects get in the way...

In reply to safetybob. Feeling pretty good right now. Fatigue level is improving. Rather than being wiped out by noon I'm not feeling that way until evening. Spring is definitely here and I have broken out the summer riding gear.

In reply to charlie6. I need to correct the mileage -- it just turned over 27K.

In reply to David Masse. A well used Vespa is a sign of a happy rider I think. You're catching up to me on miles. My low riding of the past two years has slowed me down.

You might declare me stupid, but I keep my 2-wheelers, so also my Vespa GTS 300 ie Super shiny by washing it after every ride, waxing it at least 1 time a year, and by not driving when there is salt on the roads. Did that with my old Vespa GTS and will do it with my brand new one.
Take care and happy Vespa driving!

Hi Steve,
Glad to hear your on the mend:)
Had my GTS from new in 2011 and feel bad….Only 3700kms on her!!
I don’t use it nearly enough but i do love it and out of all the two wheeler’s i have ever had its the best!
I too need to 5S my tools:( ……..But like you i do use them a little, there’s oil/grease on my spanners.

Regards
Len

Steve,
SO glad you are on the mend. As a former boy from the ‘berg’ I do so reading your posts. It was a great weekend here to take the Ural and the Dneprs out for a ride each in turn. Glad to See that spring has arrived for you!
Ride safe!
Bob

Steve my Vespa has got just over 40,000 kilometers on it.

I don’t ride in the winter so it doesn’t suffer the ravages of salt. But it does have nicks, chips and a few scrapes from daily conmuting. It’s well used.

In my opinion it’s the only way to go.

Nice job on the muffler. Looks way better than mine 😉
