Adios People

Post by larrylarry75 »

My ownership of my new '09 Stella 2T will probably rank as one of the fastest turnovers in history; as of 4:30pm this afternoon I traded her in on a 2007 Vespa 250ie. After riding her a mere 297 miles I decided she didn't have enough poop for the hills surrounding me and since I didn't want to go to all the fuss of engine mods I figured it was best to let her go and get something with more juice. I'd recently ridden my bud's '06 250ie and it has more than enough power for what I want so that was the decision maker. I think if I lived in town or in a flatter area I'd have kept her but that's just speculation and it's all a done deal.

I've had fun getting to know some of you and enjoyed reading your posts on the forum, thanks to everyone for your advice and friendship.

Best to all,

LL75 :D

I had a gts250 before my stella, the stella and vintage scoots are just more fun to ride. the gts is Zippier, but the twist and go doesn't have the same feel. I loved my gts250 but the look and feel of the stella is hard to beat.. can't blame ya though, i rode my gts on the highway almost daily at around 65-70 mph where as the stella can barely get to 55..

Hey...you gave it a shot and found out that it's just not the scooter for you. Nuttin' wrong with that!

Both are fun scooters with different capabilities. You can still stop in here or we will catch you on MV!
