Eric, know what's going on over at the sister station?

I haven't been able to get to ModernVespa for a few hours. Do you know what's going on? I'm getting the shakes!

Hey now, John K. has an MS3 250 and it's a surprisingly good machine. He put over 6,000 miles on in his first year of ownership. The engine's a Burgie 250 twin cam and it will haul butt!

Syd, I'm wondering too. Are there any other MVers checking in here?

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Sat Jan 10, 2015 4:16 am

I haven't gotten IM's here and you (and Krispy) are the only posters, but it's been most of the day now.

I hadn't noticed until this thread was posted. Haven't had a lot of bandwidth for scooter-things lately and MB is my preferred forum. I do have an account on MV, though.

What the hell, Krispy, did you get hit with a babelhammer?

He said some uncomplimentary things and got Nerfed for it. If that's all he got, he's doing well.

I noticed it down before 10am ct friday. While i always have both sites open in tabs (not joking, there are tabs for MV and MB on home laptop, work laptop mobile phone and tablet) i'm more active over there. It's a vicious circle i suppose; i'm more active over there because it's a more active site.

Krispy, if folks were truly unfriendly towards you over there, i'm really sorry. I've found MV to be a great group of folks. And i swear anymore half the population doesn't even ride Piaggio products

BabelHammer?!?

I love it. The phpBB guys should make that an official feature of their software.

Anyway, KrispyKreme needed a little time away from the board. It's playoff season, so he has better things to do, anyway. We'll see him in a week or so, I expect.

BabelHammer?!? Thanks, Syd, you made my day.

Yeah it's down. Of course on a weekend that I actually have off and wanted to go to some threads with info on what I wanted to do...oh well.

I'm going to ask for a prorated refund!

I like the ride reports on MV. Its a bit like ADVrider for scooters.
I don't see myself ever buying a Vespa.

The ONLY reason I have one is because the TGB Bellavita isn't sold in the US.

And because the Kymco Like 200i isn't even CLOSE to a real 200.

I wanted a general form factor (admittedly retro, with cowls) and i had a minimum performance level that i could not compromise. Only the GTS ticked both those boxes. It's a spiffy bike, no question. And I do love it to bits. But no specific marque is the be-all and end-all of motorsports.

Looks like it just came back up. From the time of the last post, I'm guessing a 23.5 hour outage.

I am also on MV as "Oldscoot".

I wonder what Krispy said to get a time out?

He used this:

To reference MV'ers in an unflattering light, which is disallowed according to Posting Guidelines (a recommended read).
His outburst was likely caused by this:

Because he had earned this a few times:

I saw Krispy's post before it got modded. I learned a few new words in the process.
