What's wrong with vespas?
New Motorcycle Workshop in Phnom Penh
A bit gay but also notoriously unreliable.
Has yours given you no trouble yet?
Nothing, well ones made before 2000!
I’ve had lots of Vespas, 60s and 70s mainly. Bought a new one in 2012 and had no end of issues. Also the quality was shocking compared to of old. The engine was nasty and underpowered. Just seemed cheap and cheerful. Not checked but do they even make them in italy anymore?
Anyway I swapped it for a two month old LML - Vespa clone - and it was actually better.
They still look cool if you like that sort of thing.
pew, pew, pew, pew!

Haven't had any issues with mine... but I really don't use it that often, just for some quick errands or to a bar that I know has difficult parking. It's a 300 so it certainly has enough power, and is very responsive. I did jump on an older one, maybe a 2012 125cc, and that felt under powered for sure.
Not there's anything wrong with that, right?
I wouldn't go that far. On a Harley it seems to be ok.
90 Super Cub. Very hetero.
Harleys are gay.
Vespas too.
Now Lambrettas there's a different story.

If you carry on drinking, you'll need a mobility scooter before long.
Or in your case, that should be a nobility scooter.

A sort of raspberry ripple?
Confirmed. I'm very happy & joyous.

No need to be nasty, just because I can't stand up for myself.....Stokely's Gait wrote: ↑Wed Oct 28, 2020 9:55 pmA sort of raspberry ripple?

Yeah. Cub 90s are always cool. My one was restored but the brakes were shocking. Lambrettas are REALLY cool but without a ton of mirrors.
I had a 200cc Lambretta. Awesome.
pew, pew, pew, pew!
Mine was fully restored by that genius Honda fanatic, Akira.
I also have a Kwaka 650 but bigger boys always tease me 'cause they have those bloody GS things. The banker bandit's choice.
McGregor bikes those GS. I’d seen them in London holding up other bikes as they couldn’t filter because of the huge panniers and they are idiots.RobW wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 10:06 amMine was fully restored by that genius Honda fanatic, Akira.

I also bought an Akira Cub. I wonder what he’s up to?
