Hey All!

[jbassman]

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to say hello! Just getting into riding - own a couple of Vespa's (yeah I know not real bikes) but will be looking at getting something more substantial down the line! Got some friends with Triumph's and Royal Enfield's and hope to join them soon in riding.

Welcome! Starting out on Vespa is great! Take your time and ask questions, we're mostly helpful around here

[PurplePackage]

welcome to the forum
vespas are real bikes
its more fun to go fast on a slow bike than slow on a fast bike

IDK. I've seen a Vespa go with KB and Folan on it. If you know, you know.

Nothing wrong with some scooter action!

I regularly steal scooters from my in-laws.....Aprilia Atlantic, a couple Vinos and a Riva. I'm seriously considering the Mt Washington auto road on the Atlantic sometime this year.

Welcome and post pics of your trusty steeds!

last I knew, scooters aren't allowed on the Auto Road, I went up on my K-Pipe, but that's a bonafide motorcycle, as tiny as it is

It doesn't seem to me it fits the NH DMV definition of moped and "scooter" does not appear to be defined, at least I've not seen it defined by the state anyway. It's also legal for travel on interstates so wouldn't that all be considered a motorcycle?

fwiw, my AK550 is in same category, it's all about being able to lock in low gear for the Auto Road, it's a privately owned road, they make the rules, not State Motor Vehicle law

Yeah, you'd have to check the Auto Road site to see if they'd letchya go up on that. Actually, I think it's the coming down part they're more concerned about.

Welcome!! please don't be a scooter riding BOT.....

Scooters are a hoot, always looking for a deal on a "big" scooter, GTS250/300 or a Piaggio BV/MP3....

Hey Bassman, that's my move!

Talked to someone from the Mt Washington Auto Road I guess that's that.....no maxi scooters allowed on the auto road.
