    Recently discovered your channel as I contemplate buying my first Vespa. Loving catching up on all your vids. Great stuff 😀

      Aw thanks! Do it! They hold their value so if you don't like, you can sell it and get a Tesla...

    Thanks for this video bug. I wanted to order ones but since i did not see the unboxing part, i ll stay away from them for now. 😂😂 just ordered my mirrors coz of you. You just made me spend money. The power of video review is here. Cheers! ❤

    "Inspector Clay's dead...murdered...and somebody's responsible!" Aww...you remembered Plan 9! BTW...you actually did cancel your turn indicator early in the video. Good boy!

      There's a first time for everything. I've found a wiring diagram to hook a buzzer up to the turn signal thingie... I think that's my next adventure.

    QUADlock phone mounts with vibration dampener. They are the best! You do have to use their phone case but it's well worth it. Many styles of mounts too.

    *sigh* Whitey's (my vespa) stock mirror is super loose and I have to re-adjust them all time... guess I have to take your recommendation and buy these now...

      These came in and they do NOT fit my 2009 GTS300. False advertising in their website. Nao i have to fight them to get a return, one i don't & shouldn't pay for shipping. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

    Wait, your brake squealing is fixed?? Hmmm, maybe they will replace mine soon. I AM heavily using the back brake on the first ride of the day so as to heat it up significantly. Only then will the squeaking stop….until the next first ride of the day. Maybe my pad is wearing down too and they will replace it at the next checkup. IMA have use it even more now. HeHe. Yes, Bug, it is the little things. I am with you on this infernal squealing brake and its driving me crazy. Mine will wake the dead its so loud.

    • @itsthebugshow
      @itsthebugshow  7 місяців тому

      You might ask about 'brake grease.' While I have no idea what that means, that was what the shop was gonna try before realizing the brake needed replaced.

    Completely changes the look of the scooter….looking good bug! Can you please tell us how you like the bag you have on the back rack these days?

    • @itsthebugshow
      @itsthebugshow  7 місяців тому

      I like it a lot, but it's not a scooter bag. It's a motorcycle tank bag. It just happens to fit pretty well on the rack. Chase Harper. amzn.to/3Uzooem It's a temporary solution for me but as of yet I haven't found anything I like better.

    rizoma makes some plugs for the holes that are pretty fair to middlin. keeps the bulk of the rain out at least. i've tried the pordoi mirrors from those german fellers, but the OEM ones just work better for my apparently massive height at 6'1".

    • @itsthebugshow
      @itsthebugshow  7 місяців тому +1

      Are those the plugs that are like $45 or something? I went with wine bottle stoppers. It really ties the room together.

      @@itsthebugshow possibly, we had (have?) a healthy pile of cashback points with a local spot so they were free for me (and i got the trendy curry hook too). Do like em bigly, but Rizoma is definitely very VERY proud of their wares. Khajit requires lots of coin.

    • @itsthebugshow
      @itsthebugshow  7 місяців тому

      It's a pain finding something to plug the old holes. I ended up using two cork wine stoppers. I love it. best solution ever.

    Hey Bug, I was never into bar end mirrors but now you made me consider those. 😁
    You should try your luck in sales, man.
    But on a different note, how do you like your Tech Air 5 Airbag jacket? I want to go with some airbag product and the Tech Air 5 is on my top three list. Thanks!
    And keep up with both channels, you are doing great.
    Cheers

    • @itsthebugshow
      @itsthebugshow  7 місяців тому +1

      I love it. Zero complaints. I completely forget I'm wearing it after I suit up. I've worn all kinds of different jackets over it and none of them have caused issues, and I'm confident each fits just fine to allow a deploy should that become necessary. 5 stars, would sell my other kidney to replace it if something happened to it.

    I think round bar end mirrors would look better, i think Fenrir has round bar end mirrors. Fill up the holes on the console with plugs, looks better.

    the more you wave your hands around while talking/riding the more italian you look btw. bonus points if you shove your phone against your ear inside your helmet so you can talk while you ride around. the true italian way.
