I put in some orders in. I ordered 3 tires (2 on the bike and the spare) and some of the other stuff. I'll work on SIP. I might have to wait for santa to get those rims.
edit: I'll get the tires when get the rims.

You won't need 3 of the tubeless wheels, unless you want 3. I only run the two main wheels tubeless. But I totally get it, they aren't the cheapest things ever. Matt

Here's some tech tips from a place here in the states... got some gaskets and jets from them a while back. They have a carburetor rebuild how-to and it might help you understand that SI carb a lil better. Man, I'm excited for ya! The Genuine Stella was my first 2t and now my ultimate favorite scoot and my daily. She's basically a mirror copy of what you have there, just made in India by LML. You're gonna have tons of fun with that scoot man!

You're gonna have tons of fun with that scoot man! A carb rebuild kit is $8 and the instructions are pretty straight forward. I think I'll rebuild it for kicks... maybe it will help with my air leak problem. $8 is the kinda money I want to put in this thing right now. More sweat than cash.

Amazing. I got in touch with a Vespa repair and parts shop that's here in my little city of Cedar Park TX. Bat City Scooters. I spoke to Nick and he said "I've never actually had a customer from Cedar Park". I think he might now. I'm going to stop by tomorrow and check it out. He said he has all the essential parts and anything else he can order. He said he orders from Germany once a week. I said "SIP right?" he's said yeah, anything I want we could just load into the bulk order. That's amazing. He's only 5 miles away. This is a good omen.

Sounds like it may be too easy to spend your money now.

Man, it just blows me away that I got a Vespa repair shop 15 mins away. Took some pics to share. One wall of the shop: He has this... said to show this off. He said there is maybe 10 of them in the US. 180cc Malossi Something or other. Said it'll do 100mph.

Italjet formula? Eh howabout gilera runner fxr? They're 180cc stock btw, and watercooled...not 125...thats the 125cc a.c typhoon.
Suuuuper rare in the US, quite common and even a bit douchy over here in Europe. Used a lot by thugs for robberies, shoplifting and even murders. They're so fast and agile nothing can keep up through city traffic. They really have a bad reputation...
