Vespa Blues

I got the Vespa back after a 6 hour round trip to Miami Beach, and it is still stalling so thats the end of the Vespa experiment. I plan on hauling it up to the main store in Ft Lauderdale on Monday and telling them to fix it so I can sell it in good conscience.
Vespa Miami also charged me $500 for a rear tire and a new drive belt installation, so aside from not fixing my scooter they made sure I'm not going back there again...
Lightly used Triumph Bonneville for sale?

That just sucks. Reminds me of many long mechanical dances with a wide range of vehicles. In the end it was always a limitation of the men and women tackling the problem.

I am curious though---how long did you ride before the stalling appeared? Seems like the dealer would have riden it a lot knowing how much trouble you had with it.

Anyways, like my LX150 disaster, a problem is really a bright light. It allows one to get another vehicle. If nothing ever went wrong how would we ever get something new?

A Bonneville would be nice. My personal preference would point me to the Scrambler though.

Good luck!
