Oh! Is that a real, honest-to-goodness Vespa parked in your garage? With all the look-alike clones these days, I'm unsure. My wife saw a "used" Vespa -used as in 5-6 months old- at the BMW stealership in North Dallas. She wants it B-A-D!

BTW, the beemer looks pretty good, too.

Repair looks really good! The whole bike looks great! [Rob take note] Is that seat textured up front?

That's my '77 Vespa P200e (60 MPG), parked in front of the '66 Mini Cooper S (only 35MPG, a gas hog!)  The seat cover on the R65 came from the eBay vendor that sells a plain one and one with a carbon fiber look. Obviously mine is the latter.  About $50 shipped and a couple of hours to fit.  I thought it came out rather well (considering I did it myself!!)  They are pre-marked for alignment. The hardest part is stretching it tight enough. Installed one from the same company on a friends Vespa and it looked very good as well.  A nicely made product with which I have no connection other than being a satisfied customer.

I got a seat cover for my 65 LS from the same guy; excellent product. Sadly, he doesn't have one for the Ural.
