It is neat to see some of the scooters that readers of Vespatude have sent along to me. Here is one from Dion in Tshwane, Gauteng. It is a 1980 Vespa PX200E. Dion tells me it doesn't have a name.


It appears that Dion is having the same problem I am having with fourth gear. He wanted me to explain more about the shifting cross. Could he do it himself? I let him know that unless he felt comfortable cracking open his engine, he had better take it to a Vespa mechanic. He chose the later -- SMART MAN!
