    Well after trying (half hearted) for over a two years to sell my much loved PX200E - no joy.

    Its sat on its arse the whole time, only to be occassionally taken out for a round around the block, a clean up and lub then left to rest again.

    So I've decided, it really is the best bike I've ever owned, I'm going to put some money into her and jazz her up a bit.

    But I'm kind'a out of the scooter loop a few years now, what dealers (if any) in Ireland are catering for scooterists needs?.

    I'll be looking for a replacement exhaust, possibly a seat (or the old slip/single seats), new mirrors, screen (the small Mod type) and a few other bit's & bobs.

    Anyone?.

    The best place in Dublin for anything Vespa related is Modern and Classic Scooters, on Arbour Hill which is just north of the Liffey.

    They do services, can order parts for you and just advise you on all things Vespa.

    Scooter Island have a pretty bad reputation on the scooter scene I believe...
