Piaggio Ciao Fuel Caps

I don't know the exact year, I know my '80 doesn't have one like that. Cheers to Vespa mopeds, though! Jamesg (talk) 04:13, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's a mystery then. Mine was most probably a 79, and no later than 80. Bottom-of-the-line Ontario model -- no signals, no speedo, but you got the sprung seat. Fuel cap was a perfectly straightforward tube with an O-ring -- I remember it because it was one of the many well-made features of that bike.

Should say Canada did not have anything like regular Piaggio/Vespa dealerships in those days. Mine was from a couple of guys who were obviously doing general importing. Perhaps that fuel cap was an option they spec'd for the line-up they wanted to sell.

But yeah, what great little bikes. Would very much like to know who the designer was. It's still one of the best bits of engineering I've seen.CoffeeYesPlease (talk) 05:14, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
