Vespa Monster

Yesterday I bought my first actual Vespa. 1978 P125X with a DR189 kit to make it zippy. It's color scheme is horrendous. The clutch is cranky. And I still haven't figured out how to ride it. But when I do, oh when I do, it will be a glorious day. So far I've managed to kick start it and stall it a dozen times. It's so much more difficult than the twist-n-go scoots. But it will be rewarding in the end. Now I'm ready to join a scooter gang.

And yes, I intend to remedy that paint job eventually.
