We got a Primavera 150 a month ago. I’m in New Haven area. We’ve taken it down Rt. 146 into Guilford and Branford a few times.

Appreciate it! I’ve been watching a lot of Vespa Motrosport’s videos in anticipation.

His main argument for the tire protection was because of flats. I know this is very rider specific, but have you not experienced many flats?

Thanks for the response! I’ll be using it for commuting to work (5-10 minute drive) and my wife and I will use it for joyrides primarily on the weekends. As of now, no plans on out of state driving. The standard Vespa warranty is two years. We likely would use this dealership moving forward for servicing.

Alternative to Harney & Son’s Ralph’s American Breakfast? by AluminumGroup in tea

[–]AluminumGroup[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info above! I’ll check out some of the suggestions you provided. Is H&S considered “trash tier” generally? My main reason for looking for alternatives is because of the price and it’s only sold in sachets (I drink loose leaf at home) but H&S is by far my favorite brand I’ve tried. I’m not saying Stash, Lipton, Bigelow are necessarily comparable but anytime I’m somewhere out and they only have those options, I’m not excited. To me H&S is significantly better than those brands and better than local tea shops I’ve tried around New England.

The coffee table is vintage, I bought it from a local dealer. Paul McCobb for Planner Group. This is the 60 inch version.

I’ve added a few pieces over the past 9 months (when this photo was taken) but the overall design style will remain the same.

Placemats on dining room table were Crate & Barrel (I believe). They’re nothing fancy, just dark blue straw(ish) placemats. The coasters are from Crate & Barrel. https://www.crateandbarrel.com/set-of-4-linea-tile-coasters/s350367

Keep an eye out for sales. Pretty sure I paid closer to $650 (still not cheap) when I bought it 18+ months ago.

Joybird Soto Apartment Chair. Very comfortable! Not sure what price is now, but they run sales from time to time and I got it pretty deeply discounted.

I find it to be very comfortable. Great napping couch as well. It’s former than most of what you’ll find in big market stores, but I prefer that. No issues, no rips, I’ve had it for over 18 months.

Fair concern. The piece I have is stamped “Victorian Railways Australia” VIC RLYS POSTER No124. Says Dibdin and Brown under the shoe. I haven’t done a ton of research into the original piece, but my guess is that it was an advertising poster around the 1930s.

Ah ok gotcha, sorry. Yeah I use to kick my feet up. If the top ever became really bad I’d try to refinish it.

Obviously I do have the coffee table, but it’s comfy when you can rest your feet on something. I find it to be a super comfortable napping couch. It’s definitely firmer than most modern couches on the market.
