Thank you Marcello - I will definitely be bugging you with questions when I take the next step! and Al, thanks for the extra info about Leo Vince - and John...
Sure. I actually deleted the original message, thinking I should re-write it without sounding as snotty as I might have come across, but as long as it's been...
Unfortunately, my local dealer is not worth supporting. When I went to this dealer ( in Md. and less than 5 minutes from my house) to buy my Suzuki Burgman...
Don't get me wrong. If you happen to have a reputable shop in the area then, by all means, give them your support. I just have the misfortune of living a few...
... Something tells me local dealers make enough profit off actual motorcycles, maintenance and non-helmet accessories that they can afford to have helmets sit...
To the contrary, what I've learned from dealers I know is that they usually have the motorcycles marked down so far that their bread and butter come from sales...
Unfortunately, these generalizations don't hold true everywhere or I would not have had to go to a neighboring state to buy scooter. The dealer I bought from...
It's much the same way in the computer service industry.. We don't have hardly any margin on new machines and hardware, and our bread and butter is service. I...
Another question... When you go to a scooter shop, specifically Vespa, are the prices negotiable or are they firm? I am curious if the demand for them makes...
In my experience, name brand scooter dealers do not have the markup range that auto dealers do. Some will negotiate and others will not, but it is probably a...
Depends on the owner of the shop. Most dealers will never negotiate the price of a bike (unless it has been sitting on the sales floor for long periods of time...
I know it's not a scoot, but it sure is cute... http://www.bigbikeriders.com/48cyl.htm Sounds like he's got a scooter tucked under the seat as a atarter motor...
I have a vespa motor with the following ID: VAN1M 02144 but I have not found it on any of the information I can find; It has an approximate bore of 52mm from...
... Try: http://www.scooterhelp.com/serial/ves.serial.numbers.html but I didn't find any VAN1M listed. -- Robin Newberry Old Farts SC Clemson, South Carolina ...
John, No dyslexia here. I looked at it 3 times and then cleaned it again and wrote it down. I think it may be an Allstate 125cc as it looks like the ACMA and...

Where can I get a nice one, preferably lockable for my ss180? I'm going xcountry with it on the back of a utility trailer and I wanna keep it nice 'n safe. ...
Someone posted somewhere, I dont remember if it was on this board or if it was on the scooterbbs, but they said that if you put a cover on a scooter while it...
I, too would urge caution about covering a scoot and then subjecting it to the high winds caused by towing it behind a car. In addition to the abrasion of...
Makes sense, but some states require that any cargo on uncovered utility trailers be covered. Maybe it doesn't apply to vehicles-as-freight. I'll do a little...
Yes, I would check again. I have towed my Vespa cross country on an open trailer without being stopped. But I surely missed a few states, and that was 20...
Most states require that any UNSECURE cargo on uncovered utility trailers be covered. A motorcycle that is tied down is by definition "secure". Enjoy, John M....
Hey Folks- I wanted to make this post & let everyone know pre-regisration for Tampa Two Stroke's Sleep Away Camp II Rally is up on our site. It's easy and...
I just received a new engine from scooterworks for my 65 VNB. I am running into a couple of issues right now. First, I need to get the 10' hub removed and...
Yeah, that seems right. My girlfriend told me should read it somewhere, but she must have been mistaken. I thought that because of the high rate of highway...
