OK, I need all other Vespa ET2 (and ET4 and GT) owners to join the VespaSpeed forum so that I can have lots of people to bug incessantly with questions. And, by the way, if you haven’t already added a Sito Plus pipe to your ET2, you have GOT to go get one while they […]

So, guess what I’ve finally done… I’ve finally finally updated the pink bike page! Now, sadly (and stupidly on my part), I lost a good deal of the submissions that you all sent in since November, so please send them in again.
On the topic of pink bikes, I came across this photo of the […]

girlbike > scooters went over the 30,000 visitor mark overnight, woohoo!

Well, since nothing has gone drastically wrong with my scooter mechanically lately - ::: knock on wood ::: - I decided to be daring and buy a roll of 50 foot chrome trim from JCWhitney.com. First, I did my windshield, and then decided to also do the front and rear fenders. I like the look; […]

After my last post, several readers pointed me to the $9.99 pink handlebar tape over at SOMA Fabrications.

I replaced the fuel tap (it was a little disappointing that it was so easy after all the stress of waiting for it) and fuel hose in the ET, put in a new air filter for good measure, put some gas in, and then tried to start it. The battery was dead. So I tried […]

so, I ordered the fuel tap which was suppose to be here Friday. scooterworks “forgot” to send it second-day air, so it will be here wednesday. I still haven’t quite forgiven them.

OK, I’ve got it under control, and I have a new fuel tap and hoses on their way to me. They should be here on Friday. The fuel tap (part #575320 for the curious) can be found in the ET2 parts manual. Motorsport Scooters/scooterwest came to the rescue again. Now instead of paying a local […]

Well, like I mentioned, after the attempted robbery a couple of weeks ago, my Vespa ET2 was tipped on its side. After that it wouldn’t start. My brother Bob told me the trick about starting it with a wide-open throttle because it was probably flooded from being on its side, and that worked.I since installed […]
