hello. a little about myself. 51 y.o railway worker, late to biking having never owned a powered 2 wheeler until my mid 40's. come to think of it,other than riding a mates RD80 for 50 yards circa 1985 i dont think i've ridden owt in between these times !
never even strided a vespa before buying one brand new friday gone,surely one of the last few PX's available ? is it bad form to wade straight in with a technical question ?
impressive forum btw

Will do.
Just got the PX home and i must say being my first ever ride on a vespa and traveling a majority of the way in the dark whilst holding up rush hour traffic at times, i'm relieved. Impressed at the ride comfort alarmed at the cornering and almost happy with the 'go'. I've 'wheelied' it already at a busy roundabout and aborted a tractor overtake as well. I think this is going to be an eventful ownership.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Vespa, Stevie, there's no better way to travel! Stick a Leeds badge on your glovebox, and you're all sorted!

.......so.....with the dealer not willing to cure the leak on the new PX, I threw the teddy out and demanded my cash back. That was 2017. Flirted with motorbikes since but kept an eye on the scooter market every now and then. Last week came across my PX up for sale on ebay-for £355 more than I paid new! Its got me looking again but blimey haven't values risen? Some ropey stuff out there for thousands. I'll be back in touch when I can spot a realistically priced machine for judgement. Thanks,Ste
