Well Frenchie is home for the weekend so we can ride, but still not repaired.We are waiting for parts. Joe at Varsity Cycle said they need to replace the clutch drum and also the motor mount. And now the dash has to be replaced as one of the repairmen sent a screw almost thru it. So Frenchie has a little bump on his face. Not too noticeable, but he is getting a new dash plate. It's on order too!
Evidently there is a message board on the Piaggio dealer's site where they can communicate between Piaggio and other dealers. There is something on the message boards regarding the chirping sounds and the vibration. We thought it was only on the new yellow and green Vespas, but they took a motor mount off of a blue one and tried it and it had the same problems.
A friend of mine was joking and said the chirping sounds were just that Frenchie was happy to be taken out. We are sure happy to take him out this weekend. The weather is supposed to be superb, sunny and between 62 and 79. Can't wait for tomorrow!

Love your blog!
Certainly the name "Heinz & Frenchie"!
It sounds like a German and a "bad" French speaking someone...
Maybe an idea for Tarantino?
Greetz,

Wonderful treatment for Frenchie! Reminds me of my old Mom, falling about in her Old Folks Home and having her home for the weekend, complete with patched up bruises and cracked glasses. She even chirped at being taken out! Frenchie is lucky, she's so young to get all that loving care. Have a fun weekend - but not too fast. Best wishes
Glad you're still able to ride it this weekend. Enjoy the weather, lot's of us northeners envy the florida weather and year round riding opportunities.
Hope the warranty covers all?
Kristof, thanks for the compliment, glad you enjoy our musings. I'm sure Tarantino could create a racey episode. Should we call him?
Yes Citizen, Frenchie is lucky as was your Mom getting to go out on an excursion. I hope you enjoy fond memories. Thanks for dropping by and sending us your best.
Kano we had some of the best Florida weather this weekend. We got the special 3 years warranty, bought at just the right time, so we are happy that everything is covered.
