I've loved Vespa's ever since High School when my favourite album was MxPx's "Life in General" and they sang "take a ride on my Vespa, I'll take you home." Maybe I'm a bit of a nostalgist, or maybe I'm one of those creepy people who can't grow past high school, but I still love them and finally bought one another teacher was selling. She had named it 'Winston' but I quickly changed it to 'Winnifred' as I thought my bike should be a girl.
It's not the toughest looking thing, but you have to admit it rates high in the coolness quotient. It's also a beast to drive... (I occasionally refer to it as 'the heifer') as it only has a 2 stroke motor, and it weighs a little less than a Toyota Landcruiser.
