  Aye, best do what everyone else does. Safer that way. Don't stand out. Don't make a peep. Don't raise your hand - keep out of sight. Head down. Scurry on. Work hard. Play fair. Live your days, like you were never there. Hope to dream and dream to hope. Eye on the future, only way to cope. Don't be showy, blend in to the crowd. Whistling and singing only mean you're loud. Consume, oblige. Never rest up. Everyone here drives a vespa.

  • Yes, a Vespa. Nairn here has provided a solid argument I think.– JerseyRaindog

  I loved my Vespa LX until I wrote it off last year. Plan on picking up a new Vespa S once the winter's through though. Just don't buy one of those cheap ones where the whole body is made out of plastic. Or be one of those tools that rides around in nothing but shorts, thongs, a singlet and an open face helmet.

  I'm a fan of black, although the S looks pretty nice in white.

  Not sure about the seats on the S. My black LX had a tan coloured seat, and I'm sure you can get them on the GT models. Even if the S is black only, there's plenty of people out there who do custom seats. (Everything from nice high grain leather, to putrid fluffy animal prints)

  I've only got shots from after I crashed it, but I paste them in if you still want to look.

  I'd assume the box for the LX would fit the S. They're pretty much the same scooter save for some cosmetic changes.

  Here you go.
  It doesn't look terribly bad in the photos, but what you can't see is the bent steering. Never the less, I still rode it for another month until my insurance company took it away!

  I always wanted to try vespa's new sport scooter. It looks like it could be really fast.

  for vespa owners - what is the common problem for vespa?

  • Getting outed and on-coming lorries. Not necessarily in that order.

  I'm a fan of Vespa's and scooters in general, but don't you feel like a jackass when a dude on a real motorbike pulls up next to you at a stoplight?

  I'd buy one if I lived in the city though.

  • Not really. I live on an island with a 40mph speed limit. I think of them as jackasses.– JerseyRaindog
