Well, I was in line to go pick up my "new" project of a Vespa smallframe tomorrow, but sadly my main private gig console went out on me. Repairs rated in the realm of about $450, which is about 75% of what I paid for it new. Needless to say, with the decision between work or new scooter project for Amerivespa, I had to choose....
So no vintage Vespa for me, but a new (to me) console that isn't so thrilling. But, I still have the Agility 125 and Amerivespa is still on the charts. Already got my ticket reserved and waiting on the tax return to book the hotel room. Hopefully the start of next season will see a Stella or even another vintage Vespa keeping my scoot company but not this year
