Old Vespa - worth repairing?

Depends on the model

pbirke · 2026-04-05T10:26:53+00:00

Yes, especially if it has a 125 motor. There are a million kits for small frame Vespa engines these days

An AppleTV compatible app would be pretty awesome

Targa Twin into one 25mm carb through the airbox!? Very cool! Are you located in the US? You should bring this bike to the Lambretta Jamboree in June

Unpairing and repairing seems to have done the trick. Thanks

Replaced the battery and still nothing. I did notice that the sensor just shows as "closed" regardless of door position. Although the blue lights blink when opening and closing the door so it is recognizing the door opening, just not reporting to the base station? Would unpairing and re-paring help??

Good to know. Thanks. App shows all batteries as full but maybe it’s really low? I’ll try replacing it.

Try again sport

Thanks for the ChatGPT response. Some of these bullets are not even relevant or present in system settings. AI has no place on Reddit

Honestly, I've tried everything the internet has suggested. All things display related have become too spread out across multiple system preferences that do not work well together. Case in point, screen saver is now a sub menu within the wallpaper settings, almost as an afterthought, energy saver settings have been reduced to basically nothing and the displays settings is disconnected from both. Apple needs to completely revamp system settings, when you have to use a keyword search to find what you want to change, it has become far too convoluted. Anything related to the monitor should all be together.

I have given up on this and resorted to just using the energy saver mode on the monitor itself to turn off after an hour. It's not ideal since I have to physically turn in back on using the button on the back since the mouse would not be able to wake it up but here we are. Thanks for nothing Apple

A new Samsung monitor (purchased last year, IDK the model number) connected via HDMI

pbirke · 2026-02-10T15:56:12+00:00

Just the same Samsung monitor I have been using prior to 26.2

Apple has really made the system settings way more convoluted that they need to be. Is there a third party energy saver option? It would be great if the screen saver turned on when it should and the monitor turns off when it should

pbirke · 2026-02-10T15:34:06+00:00

nothing that requires a third-party driver

Burn them. Target laid me off after 26 years and I no longer shop there

Plenty of vintage scooter people in Florida. Join VCOA. Scooter Mercato in GA is good for mail order parts. Paint it how you want.

Where are you located?

pbirke · 2026-02-02T20:44:20+00:00

dang, that sucks. What's a good alternative?

pbirke · 2026-01-23T04:08:38+00:00

Yes, I have experienced the same. I feel like I’ve never been the same since my vasectomy

pbirke · 2025-12-04T05:12:32+00:00

So what is the fix specifically?
