Like a vespa with a real motor and 3 wheels. It's fab. Happy to show it to you sometime, as it's about the best purchase I've *ever* made. I ride a piaggio mp3 500cc bike all year round.

With gas prices what they are, I'm seriously considering it now!

Please make sure that you wear all the safety gear. This includes a helmet, boots, gloves, everything. Consider your Vespa a motorcycle with all that that entails, but much less powerful. Also, folks in cars will not notice you - even if they appear to be looking right in your eyes. Always drive defensively and get used to the notion of leaving your ego at home when you get on the scooter. Ride safe. Best, Dan It’s a good alternative to a 4-wheeled vehicle.

Be prepared for dorky "Merlene on Scooter" pix throughout July & August hehe. @Twalk Thanks for the link to Ben's post. I love that other people are starting to see how much sense (and cents) a scooter makes. Harbinger. I like it. :) @Pai I’ve been wanting a Vespa (love the look of a classic Vespa over it’s sister Piaggio Fly 150 model) for years so I’m really excited now.
