Greetings
My name is John and i am writing from Greece. i found this forum site searching for unrestored old scoots. Well i am not from Birmingham ( i love your football team) ,but i d like to be a member of this site in order to learn some stuff about vespas.
i am an owner of three not working vespas :
an ET4 _125 cc (1999) (had an accident on it)
and two 1969 vespa 50s (the one is with 80cc polini kit)
i am now restoring one of the 50s and i actually have lots of questions to ask about, so can i be a member of the site and start a topic about what i am doing?
thanks in advance for your time.
(please accept my apologies about my english. i m Greek you know  )

Hi John,
You're more than welcome to participate here, but I must admit that there are other sites and forums with a larger field of knowledge for you to benefit from.
There's the International Scooter BBS. Many things about this forum irritate me, but there are still some smart people there who can redeem it. Here's the older Vespa section
http://www.scooterbbs.com/bbs/dcboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=10
There's also SIP Scootershop's forum. It's hard to link directly to pages on SIP's site because it's flash intensive, but if you find your way into the forums, this place is really fantastic. There's a whole lot of experience there. It helps to be able to translate German, but there are plenty of English posts too. This entire site is amazing.
www.sip-scootershop.com
Stellaspeed also has a smallframe section, but really shines in the largeframe department
http://forums.stellaspeed.com
Anyways, welcome aboard. |

Haha, yeah, I think he is.
The sites Ray list are great, as well as the Yahoo smallframe group. It's more of a digest site, but they've been very helpful with any questions I've had. http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/vespasmallframes/

150 euros for a year of english premier league is worth it since you
can't even buy a ticket to a game that cheap.
