my first bike … well i guess that depends on the way you look at it. coming from something with a real frame, real brakes and, let’s face it, a real engine, this thing is scary.
on the upside you got a lot of storage space, your legs will never get dirty, only your upper half will get wet, and you can almost fit as much chrome as on a harley davidson – and the vespa looks a lot better than a hd, too.
having said that, i really liked the vespa. it is not a very good bike, but those looks … it is a real style icon.
it was originally orange, but then some guy crashed into me, and i had it resprayed in gray. added lots of chrome parts, and then white walled tyres.
i was very proud.
