Tamiyacowboy Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Speedo gave up the goat , just had to fork out £50 on OEM Vespa parts to fix the darn problem ....... i mean its not a problem to me speed is time devided by distance , if i get to the beach faster than normal i was speeding right ? or did the world slow down lol ....... dashboard lamps went to pitch black cant see anything on the dash so thats gotta be sorted to . so yeah anyhoooooo's , scoots semi parked up , i ride where i think there wont be any cops or speed cameras just the odd errands , worse part its a 8-14day special order in jobbie , so its 8-14 days for them to get parts then its the 3-5days slow mail to get it to me . why did i choose an itakian bloody bike is beyond me, but maybe they have the parts in france only time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see what I can find as im always on there ..... I spent the first year of ownership as a constant resident of Ebay! It's a Piaggio Sfera 125 RST from 1997 or 96. Sometimes a replacement part pops up but it's usually corroded or it's on the moon, along with Piaggio's ability to manufacture reliable electricals.

MissT Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Thank you, have fun! I scan though the listings occasionally, hoping to find something useful or unusual but there isn't much left for a forgotten scooter anymore. Damaged plastic parts, shockingly corroded metal and deteriorating electricals. It's still a lot of fun on a good warm day breezing around comfortably, doing errands or just having a little bit of fun. Watching the reactions from drivers as I squeeze through traffic in totally inappropriate clothes is another great amusement of scootering too, although I'm not suggesting you should try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
