John,

How are you? I posted a comment on August 29th 2007 regarding a flat tyre.

The link to my website is causing a problem on my website (I don’t know how?)

Could you delete the comment I left that day.

Many thanks,

Patrick

p/s – Thanks for the advice for changing the tyre it was a great experience and not hard at all.

Hi John

You are most certainly one ‘cool cat’ on that black machine of yours. Found this website quite by chance. The Vespa community is just too cool. I’m riding my GT 200 from Johannesburg (where I live) to Cape Town – around 1600km, in approx. 2 weeks time. This is good riding country as well. Anybody interested? Contact me.

Cheers

Paulo

Hey John.

My Uncle gave me his Vespa GS 150,he told me that he got it year 1956. it’s pretty old. I know it’s obvious. Pero ang galing niya mag ingat sa gamit niya. Haha. It’s still okay, pero it needs a lot of restoration and detailing i think. Gusto ko siya mapaganda, sayang kasi diba. Haha. But the problem is, wala akong alam ng shops that do vespa’s. Hahaha. Shocks.

Hello there John,

I felt the goosebumps when I saw Pike’s makeover. I remembered Francis M. Awesome idea to put up the National colors on your wasp. More power to you and your blog.

Ride safe,

Asahan ko yan, Jed! hehehe Benz (my wife) is thinking of a family vacation in Korea or Japan by next year. I’ll let you know if matutuloy kami.

There were more than a hundered Vespa riders who showed up in a recent event here. But there are more indie Vespa riders around here I’m sure.

John,
Thanks for the reply. I’m also glad to touchbase with you. I’ll let you know of the progress. BTW, how many Vespa owners are there in RP? Is it a big community? Did we have Vespas in RP just like Vietnam and Thailand back in the 70s?

Kung skaling magawi ka dito, pahihiram ko yung scooter 24/7

Dear John,

I was searching for Vespa Clubs in the Philippines and lo and behold, I chanced upon your very popular and award-winning blog.

I am planning to get a Vespa here in Seoul by restoring a 70s Vespa 125cc. Some Vespas available come from Japan but most of the ones availabe are Vespa 50s. There are two Vespa dealers here but there’s only one person who restores Vespas in Korea and his name is Ali. He started 5 years as a hobbyist but does restoration apart from his real job– making stickers in his shop which is also a classic Vespa gallery in Itaewon, Seoul. Just this afternoon, a famous Korean TV drama actor was having his scoot tuned. In case you visit Seoul, I’ll tour you around. Congrats on your blog!

Your batchmate in SBC,

Jed Dayang
