Hello Big Blue
Stopped by the Vespa dealer on Vaughn St. in Portland on my way to Seattle last Friday. He does have a nice selection of Vespas and was great person to talk to. I took a long look at the V's. They are truly beautiful and truly overpriced. He has a silver SYM HD also. He said a Russian couple bought it used on the East coast when they were not able to rent a car and road it across the US. Had 3000 miles when they bought it and 8000 now. It's in excellent condition, but not red. Otherwise I would consider it. Asking $2500, but I think he would deal.
He said that he would have HD's and GTs's this spring, so guess I'll be taking another trip north then.
Thanks for the info.
Peace and ride safe.

Hello Don,
I took in the account posted by the Russian couple over on the SYM forum site.
Some really neat pictures by these 2 youngsters of their adventures on their scoot!
I recommend it.......
And yes, that price seems a bit steep for what that scoot has been through!

Hey Don, Glad you were able to get to Vespa Portland. They are quite knowledgeable about their product lines and always have lots of stock. I agree about the Vespas they are quite beautiful but the prices are just nuts. The phrase that you mentioned earlier about "two-footitis" has a similar term in the world of amateur astronomy. It's called "aperture fever" since the scope you have is not quite big enough. By the way the fellow I worked with is Mike O'Conner.

Len - Yes, Cheryl and I know the O'Connors well. As Walt Disney said "It's a small world...." And my guess is that there are a lot of "itises" out there. Anyone else?
