I also want a Vespa, but it's not a very practical family vehicle. Booooo.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Poor ailing Dylan.
I'm seeing more scooters around here. Of course, now that the weather is getting decent, I'm also seeking baby motorbikes and 4 wheel ATVs roaring around without thought to traffic patterns. Hates them. They are not street legal and like to do things like bolt out of alleys to go the wrong way through traffic or weave through slower traffic. God forbid the cops take after them, because then it goes all Mad Max. They are such a menace. I have bad thoughts about clothesline maneuvers.

I'm also considering a Vespa -- at 100 mpg, they start looking attractive real quick. Also I could park it in my backyard, off the street.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
The thing about vespas, at least old ones, is they pollute awful. Now an electric scooter would be awesome. I could see plug in station cropping up everywhere.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
To me Vespas look like things to get knocked off of. At least on a motorbike I might be able to outrun the things that would upend me.

I cringe every time I see someone on one without a helmet, and here that seems the majority. My dad's been hit on his bicycle more times than I now know and at least twice, the helmet saved him from becoming an organ donor.
Actually, I see organ donors every time I see unhelmeted non-car cycles.
