[Rail 50]

Hello. I am the new owner of a 2010 Stella 4T. It's SCHOOL BUS yellow.
If I could figure out how to make my picture small enough I would post it. So far my mpg is 113 for 2 tanks. I've had other scoots, including a 1948 Cushman (green), a 1964 Allstate (red), 1993 Riva (white), and 1981 Vespa 100 Sport (green). I have also owned some motorcycles including a 1964 Ducati Diana when I was in high school, and a GS850G, and XR900RK. I recently received some free swag from Genuine, and I appreciate it very much. I've been lurking on this forum for a while now. I'm also on the MV forum with my BV500. www.thescootshop.com

and a message to Russell.. Thanks, dude..

You know...I read School Bus Yellow and I didn't think I would like it. But that looks GREAT!

Enjoy and welcome to MB!

I spent a few of my younger years in Olivehurst. Wow, hadn't thought about that in a long time.

Welcome !

Hi Rail50,

Glad I could introduce you to this great forum!

Just so you know karma is on your side: 'Robot' the wonder mechanic from Vespa Motorsport rode an off-the-rack, not broken in/new, mustard/schoolbus yellow Stella 4T in an endurance ride and set the record. The scoot is still the demo ride at the shop.

As for the issue of picture resizing, I see Eric's wiki post is mostly intended for Apple OSX or Photoshop users. I don't have either that Operating System or Adobe program, so I chose to download Google's Picasa. I do like how Google's Picasa attempts to 'keep it simple, stupid' for Windows users.

Give it a whirl, even if you only use Picasa's web albums without installing a local Picasa program.

Get some miles on that Stella, but dont expect to compete with my miles (about to hit 2,000 this week)
