Yes. I have a set of the tube-type in black on my white P200 and a set of the tube-type in red for my 4T Stella (to go with a set of whitewalls).

OK, more on the gifts:

A book, Vespa: Style In Motion, pretty sure it came from Amazon at $24.97.

Another book, How To Restore Classic Large Frame Vespa Scooters: Rotary Valve 2-Strokes 1959 to 2008, again from Amazon for $33.77.

Can't find the tee-shirt just yet. It's a "Money can't buy happiness..." variant.

Spent another $65.00 with ScooterWest today. Unplanned trim purchase, but Max hooked me up! Like I needed another reason to enjoy doing business with those guys.

EDIT: Spent $106.00 on 12/31 on an 18mm Dell'Orto PHBG BS 2-stroke spigot-type carburetor for a impending E50 engine buildup for a Pinball Run competitor. It will fit nicely with one of the manifolds I just bought. Hooray for an early payday, can get a bit more in under the wire.

EDIT 2: Spent $90.99 on 12/31 on a 16mm Dell'Orto PHBG AS 2-stroke clamp-type carburetor for a different E50 engine build. It'll work with the other manifold I bought and be more appropriately sized for the smaller engine; been wanting to build a 50cc, 50mph single-speed for a while now.

I received a front LED Light Kit and Admore Light Bar from my GF. I'm a big fan of extra lighting on my rides

Safety Safety.

THE MB EIGHTH ANNUAL SPEND-A-THON IS NOW CLOSED!

Nice job all! The eighth annual SPEND-A-THON total is

$10.438.37

This is the lowest total ever! Who cares! This whole thing is just for fun! (and so we can show off all our new scooters and stuf...hint...hint...)

Well done to those that curbed their spending this year...I'm going after you next year!:twisted: Even better done to those that didn't!

A couple of entries didn't have figures so I used KBB values or...made them up...I buy enough stuff that it will be close enough!

Awards will be forthcoming!

Thanks all who played and please remember to tip your waitress and bartender!

Actually, three orders. Lotta irons in the fire. The Yager's battery burst from the cold last weekend so I'll be ordering a few more bits and a battery now that all the acid damage is cleaned up.

Still waiting on my $400+ worth of Honda crank repairs too!
