I got a sweet new trunk for my scooter. It has a lot of room -- it fits my big Timbuk2 tote alongside my 3/4 helmet. Or it will fit two paper bags of groceries from Trader Joe's. It will also fit two cats or a medium-sized dog, but Piaggio USA would like to remind you that no pets are allowed in the storage compartments of Vespa scooters.
I thought it would be wise to get the crash bars on the Vespa ASAP, considering the fate of the Frankenstella - that scooter went down three times while the crash bars were still lying uselessly on my garage floor. I was determined to install the chrome on the Vespa myself, not only to avoid the $90/hr labor charge, but because I can.
Oh yes, I can.
Now that I've put about 300 miles on the Vespa, I've been able to draw some comparisons between this and the various other scooters I've ridden. The GTS is the creme of the crop -- a five-star scooter, the Jaguar of the scooter world, if you ask me. Vespa calls the GTS "The Fastest Vespa Ever." I would also call it the safest Vespa ever. Not that I need to rationalize anything, but purchasing the GTS was definitely a wise move.
