Yesterday I went on a fair size ride on the PX200, about 200km round trip, it was nice, but it made me realise a couple of things. the PX200 is not a comfortable scooter to do any kind of long distance touring on, my open face helmet sucks for wind noise and bag splatter.
It was fun, and the weather was magic!
I passed my R-E (250cc bike) license and now have my new Vespa PX200 at home.
Coming soon, chrome racks front and rear, as well as personalised number plates!
In just four day’s I’ll be doing my riding test to get my 250cc licence (R-E). Fingers crossed. Must pass this to be able to ride my new Vespa home from the shop… please, no more bus to work! cmon! haha Forecast is rain and wind, both two bad things to have when scootering!
They’ve stopped making them, they are starting to become harder to find, before long you just will not be able to get a new one at all.
I had to have one. 200cc, 2-stroke, 4-speed manual shift, stunning and elegant 30 year old design. mmm
I put down a deposit for my Black Vespa PX200 yesterday after riding one. oh yeah! Now I just need to get my licence, and sell my Vespa LX50. If your after a 50′, let me know, going for $3750, in mint condition.
I took the van up to the scooter shop on Saturday to pick up my new Vespa LX50. I could have ridden it home but it would have taken a while! Van was easier.
I’ve already named it… “The Wasp”. I took it for a cruise with some other scooter owners on Sunday and clocked up almost 100km’s on it! It will be good to really run it in and loosen it up a bit! It’s so much fun to ride! I love it.
Well last night Melissa and I drove up to Ace Scooters in Joondalup to test ride and check out some scooters. A couple of hours later I’d signed to purchase a new, black, Vespa LX50. What a lovely ride! I also picked up a new helmet, cable lock and jacket!
I should be taking delivery this week (Saturday I think). I’ll post more soon! fun time!
Whats wrong with this picture? I’ll tell you. There’s a car missing. I just waved goodbye to our N15 Pulsar SSS which was sold to a young bloke who worked a year at bunnings (hardware store) to buy his first car. I’m glad it’s going to someone thats worked hard for his first car! It was sad to watch it go, memories there! And thus concludes my on going family of Nissan cars which included two pulsars and a micra.
So what’s next I hear you ask? Well our baby girl will be due soon, Melissa will be at home with bubs while I continue to work. The WRX will stay home equipped with baby seat. I no longer need a car to drive to work (because I used to drop Melissa off at the train station on my way to work every day) so I’m going for something different. I’m going to buy a scooter! (and bank the rest of the cash from the sale of the car)
I’m looking at just a 50cc that I can ride on my regular car licence (and Melissa too after bub is born and she’s able). I’d love to get a Vespa (The Ferrari of scooters), but we will see what happens! I’ll have updates soon on the scooter thing, and no doubt end up blogging about it for a great deal of time (until i get bored)
