Vespa pics from Gotland


I really like the old "Nynäs" petrol station, well from 1960's I reckon. The Swedish oil company Nynäs was founded in the harbour town of Nynäshamn, south of Stockholm. I don't know if it's the genuine place for the small petrol station, or if it has been relocated. There was no one to ask.


The white Vespa 50N is from 1968, it resides in a small private museum.


My Vespa 150 GS at the Grogarnsberget on Gotland. The island was placed at the equator, some zillion years ago. Lot's of fossiles can be found.

It's all about the spark

Every Bajaj owner should not only carry a spare spark plug with them at all times (they need to be replaced every 3-5K miles), but should also replace the spark plug resistor cap. Even if your bike is running great it's bad economy not to make the replacement. A spark plug resistor cap will cost you $2.50 and a pack of 4 Iridium upgrade spark plugs costs $9 or a stock spark plug for $2 from Amazon. For part numbers reference Retro Bajaj Forum's part list. Do not buy the 90 degree spark plug resistor cap. It does not fit as it should. Buy the 120 degree one.

If your scooter is sputtering or not running this is the first thing you should do. If your bike is running perfectly, you should still do this $4.50 upgrade, because at some point your stock resistor cap will go bad and it will be a bummer if it's when you are out a long epic ride in the middle of no where or in a rush to work.

Here's a quick install video.

This job will take you no longer than 10 minutes and what a difference it will make in how your scooter starts and runs.
