Putting my toe in the water

Post by Raputtak »

Hello, y'all.

Yes, it's me. (Or should I say "It is I"). That ex-pat from modernvespa.

Guess who traded in his 1981 Vespa 50 Special (small frame Malossified to 136) for a brand new Stella 4T 'four-on-the-paw' in glorious black last Friday?


Picture to follow as soon as I unload it from my phone.

Found it!

When I got home from the Dogwood Rally I found a stowaway in the glovebox.

Grr. Could not shrink the picture enough to upload.

Welcome!

I have a 4T in the same color, nestled in her crate at my local dealer. I I'm looking to collect her sometime in June.

A 50 Special with that sort of upgrade must have been a vicious little beast! While the 4T won't have the same sort of revs, the gobs of torque make for easy riding.
At what point does a hobby become an addiction? I'm uncertain, but after the twelfth scooter, it sorta feels like the latter...

Seriously...I've lost count...

Seven mopeds ...that's still manageable...

Welcome!

I upload all of my photos to photobucket. Then all you have to do is paste the link here in the forum, with no resizing.

Enjoy your shifter!
