Won a Vespa ET4 125 on eBay on Sunday and for her delivered on Tuesday, slight problem the HT lead, and was fixed by trader and redelivered later, first scooter I have had only got into riding a couple of years back at the tender age of 47. I got gout in my left big toe and it was impossible to ride my 125 geared motorbike, a crappy lexmoto vixen I got given and spent a few quid doing up. I live in Paignton Devon, am 49 and always loved Vespas, I am not a mod nor was I on the second revival in the 70's but love the whole mod culture, music and scooters. She is on a 98 plate with. Just over 3000 miles on her, owned by a retired 78 year old accountant and the last 4 mots show an annual mean mileage of about 12 miles per year! Reckon someone rode it for the annual mot. She is in belting condition, and I absolutely love her. Named her Stef for obvious reasons, well obvious to me. No master key with her, but got the bluey cloned for £40. Only done about 50 miles on her so far, and will enjoy looking at this forum fully over the weekend. Only able to upload one pic so far. Attachments:

Thanks Sime66, yes I did see the pages, been trawling through just about everything scooter related.
I work in the same company as Mike King who I was speaking to the other day and I am going to become a member of Torbay Mods.
I work shifts and play Euchre in the winter so will hopefully make a few Wednesday evening meets.
I am actually on hols for the Run to the Riveria event and am hoping to attend if not for the weekend maybe a day.
I am sure we will cross paths at some point. Look forward to it.
