I just needed a 2-wheeled replacement for my car...and bought a vespa px , best choice i've ever made!

I've chosen it especially because it didn't have all those plastics etc..just a proper 'scooter'

But since i've taken care and driven it for several years now , i've fallen deeply in love with it...it just drives like nothing else out there...

@TheMackiable they would wonder why is a man riding a scooter? is he afraid of a real bike?

[TheMackiable]

@captaindrewski why do they make fun of u 'cause of a scooter?

[captaindrewski]

scooters are like fat woman. fun to ride till your mates catch ya

@neothespian no...im talking about the vespa

[neothespian]

Vespas are gay? John Wayne (he had 5 or 6), James Gandolfini (You want to tell Tony Soprano his GTS is "gay"?), Sting, David Bowie (He bangs a supermodel and has more money than God, so if it's good for him, it works for me), Pete Townsend, Charleton Heston (MOSES rode a Vespa!), Jerry Seinfeld, Jude Law, P Diddy, and a few hundred million more "regular" people are avid fans of the Vespa. Not a bad crowd to be in if you ask me

@philtripe That joke would be funny if you were talking aobut a Moped. But, the Vespa is not a moped. No pedals and they're faster than 30mph. Mechanical education fail.

@adamramoth Lambrettas are great.... the upper body workout and the calves get a TON of definition from pushing them home so often :P

I kid. I kid. As a Vespa rider, I have to give you crap. They are a VERY sexy bike, but you better be a good wrench.

@captaindrewski Wow... you're pretty ignorant. The Vespa GTS300 can touch nearly 100mph, and while most modern scooters are CVT, the LML Star/ Genuine Stella still carries on the manual 4 speed. And, the Vespa was invented AFTER the war... and if you forgot history: Europe WON the war, Germany lost. Remember, the US didn't single handedly win WWII, it was the RUSSIANS that first took Berlin. And, Evil Kenevil rode a Harley, but Pete Townsend, Sting, David Bowie and John Wayne rode Vespas.

@captaindrewski It's got two wheels and a motor. It's a motorbike. Sorry if it isn't enough to compensate for your small penis. But, it is.
