now I am looking at the vespas. Nope, I don't succumb to peer pressure
Take me, sir. Take me hard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
To me Vespas look like something to steal. Couldn't you just pick one up and throw it in a pickup truck or something?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I saw a scooter the other day with a bumper sticker that said "I t heart Tel-Aviv," except it had an Adidas logo instead of the heart.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
To me, a Vespa looks like an innovative (for its time) unit-body (i.e. no frame - the body shell provides all the strength) scooter with an aesthetically pleasing shape.
What? I saw a documentary once.

The sushi was gooood. Soft-shell crab is in season.
So you went with the sushi, excellent. I went to one of those pick up and bake your own pizza places.
What kind of wine goes with an Artichoke/Chicken Pizza?

The thing about vespas, at least old ones, is they pollute awful.
Newer ones are much much better about this
Actually, I see organ donors every time I see unhelmeted non-car cycles.
Yeah, really important to wear a helmet. And even still, it is dangerous--a coworker's wife was hit by a van, and she was wearing a helmet, and it was still touch and go for quite a while. She lost a kidney, had a lot of internal injuries, broken ribs, and a broken leg. On the other hand, it's not like you can't be in car or bike accidents either.
