A whole month of the summer missed waiting to get my 2006 Vespa GTS (called Beetle due to the custom matt black paint job) serviced. Rear brake was intermittently dragging and I couldn’t figure out the cause.

Turned out it was a slightly loose terminal bolt on the rear axle 😗 Must have been a pothole I hit hard at the top of the season. Mechanic tightened the bolt and ol’ Beetle is good as new, nothing needed to be replaced and all it cost me was an hour’s labour, very reasonable.

Changed the air filter to celebrate the second coming of season '25. The pic is from today’s hop to the woods, made timber and firewood with a group of friends - I was there first 😄
