This photo isn't taken by me but it really captures the sense of frantic & constant movement on Ho Chi Minh streets.
Also, if you look at the rear mudguard of the young woman's scoot on the right, you can see a decorative chrome fender tip. I noticed these often in Vietnam but have never seen them on a scooter in ...

Back in Australia now. Had wonderful (if short) holiday in Vietnam with family. We were in Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) initially & then the coastal Nha Trang. Last time I was in Vietnam just with my wife & we travelled extensively but this time, travelling with our young children, we weren’t so ambitious. Maybe one day I’ll ...

I'm off to Vietnam for next couple of weeks with family. Been there a few years ago but wasn't into scooters back then. Should be fun seeing the variety of machines. Somehow I don't think I'll catch sight of many Scarabeo 500's. But with any luck there will be a few nice classic (or should I say rusting?) Vespas ...

"When your scoot has more motor than frame, it's grins all round..."

[quote user="ColdCola"]Good to know I can get a quote from any qualified mechanic[/quote]
Pretty sure that is motorcycle mechanic if you want to retain warranty

Yeah, that's what I suspected. But in this case, I bought my scooter in 2008. Warranty ended ...

[quote user="hatrick"]The biggest problem of course if your scoot is under warranty which forces you to get the dealers to do them. eg my first service of 1000 lkm`s $253 should be free anyway[/quote]
Your scooter can be serviced by any qualified mechanic , check & see what Dept of Fair ...
