What was the first sticker you put on your scooter?

Post by CityGal »

My scooter isn't even here yet, and I've got a pile of accessories already on my table. Cheeky Seats paw print seat cover, Elvis helmet decal, etc. Most importantly, I've got my Marine Corps emblem sticker. The first of many, I'm sure, but the only one I'll never take off. Do you remember the first sticker you put on your scooter? Is it still there?

On my Stella I put magnet tape on the back of the stickers themselves so I can easily take them off if I want to. On my Buddy I just have 2 decals on the windshield one of bamboo that brings good luck in Chinese folklore and of "Mugen" from Samurai Champloo. On one of my helmets I have the "planet express delivery" symbol from "Futrurama" That a lot of people seem to like. They are still on from 4 years ago...

On the windshield: AMA(American Motorcycle Assoc.), Vespa Motor Sports,
(A freebie from Vespa Marietta) and a VJMC sticker(Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Assoc.) Don't have Windshield on my vintage Honda and did not
want to waste the sticker. :wink: :wink: :wink:

USMC sticker as well but currently sticker less. Windshield with the decal is off my Black Jack. My GTI 300 had USMC decal on top box but I just switched to a bigger top box. I was in 1984 to 1992 last 6 years at Cherry Point

After my "moped" registration, my first sticker was the Apple logo; I'd been working part-time at the local store, so my brand loyalty was a bit higher than normal at the time. :)

White reflective checkered flag decals from edecals.com. I put them on the front cowl of a 2007 Yamaha Vino 125 which was my first scooter purchased in the fall of 2007. They looked so good I bought a seat cover with the same checkered flag pattern from a lady who sadly no longer makes scooter seat covers. I believe her first name was Crystal. Her work was definitely first class.

I actually bought a pile from Stickergiant at the time, so it was a bunch at once. I think the very first one that I put on (it is gone now) was "One Less Car"

First one I put on my scoot was a Shure microphones sticker. My local dealer gets me GREAT deals on their gear, and while I may favor a lot of other microphones, for much of my live sound stuff they have paid the rent on more gigs for longer. So, I have to give props to them!

But, the rest of the stickers are staying isolated to the glovebox only

I have a roadrunner magnet (the bird, not the comic character) I got on a trip to AZ as a kid...I move it around as I get tired of one location...outside leg shield to inside, left to right side, where ever it's metal...on stella, that's everywhere! :lol:

First stickers went on my '87 Elite 80. It was a group of three.

The first went on the legshield, above the "frunk". I'd gotten a "BattleScooter" decal when I ordered a few pieces from them and I felt that the bike had earned the moniker. The second was the ubiquitous "Scooter Trash" decal, which went on the dummy taillamp lens, out back between the turn signal lenses. The third went on the legshield dash, just above the keyswitch. While it is a meaningful quote by Satchel Paige, it was humorously appropriate for my 80cc, 3.1hp steed: "Don't look back, something might be gaining on you."

The Riva 180 never got stickers, but it did get a St. Christopher bar badge. I owe that guy, he's saved my bacon more than once.

The P wears three. The first was a vinyl cut of some moai, which I put on the left front legshield to support the first Friki Tiki rally in Tucson. The second was a Celtic knot that my mom had gotten me from her last visit to the Emerald Isle; it's on the right front legshield, above the Vespa badge. The final decal is on the top of the glovebox, below the steering lock. It's a critical reminder for vintage riders: "Turn the gas on, dummy!"
At what point does a hobby become an addiction? I'm uncertain, but after the twelfth scooter, it sorta feels like the latter...

Seriously...I've lost count...

Seven mopeds ...that's still manageable...

I have no decals on my Stella but two on my Vespa: A ModernVespa "MV" decal and a Vespa Club of America one. I plan on sticker bombing the Helix but so far have only purchased one.

^Yes, yes indeed. We were just up there a couple of weeks ago for a Leelanau Wine Trail event. Came home with 3 growlers of our favorite hard cider. I absolutely love it up there.

My first sticker was a "Chewie is my co-pilot" with a very holy looking Chewbaca. My top case is sticker bombed with all sorts of fangirl stickers.

I just noticed in the above photo that "170i" looks a bit like "1701". If I ever get a silver Buddy 170i, the first sticker I add will go to the left of that, and say "NCC-" :nerd:
