Going Vespa
A lot of you might think that the best reason to purchase a scooter may be the ever-escalating cost of fuel. Although that is a great reason in itself, there are a multitude of other perks one can get from riding a scooter. To my surprise, I actually do not see many scooters around the Charlotte area.

Anyone want to help a lass out with endless silly small frame questions?
First things first- I have a bit of experience with Lambrettas but I am by no means a good mechanic. I recently impulse bought a 66 Bluebadge. It's my first Vespa. It's not pretty. It doesn't run. Now I have to deal with the consequences of looking at vehicles as if they were kittens in the pound and make it fly.
