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.
I went with the popcorn. My body went with the migraine. Phbbbpptt.
My dad's first accident, a car made a sudden right turn in front of him. He flew 6 ft, landed on his head (seriously, the foam was compressed to under half and inch), skidded another few feet on his face. Broke his hand (only one bone, amazingly) and required multiple plastic surgeries.
Another, he got rear ended and planted his ass through the car's windshield. He was lucky that time: his worst injury was wipershaped bruises. The bike went under the car and looked like spaghetti, though.
I totally want a Vespa but GF says absolutely not.
HA! I wouldn't consider it if my new commute were not changing to one mile each way. It'll be primary grocery store, yoga vehicle. Etc.
The problem for me with Vespas is that the seat height is too high.
This one is the one I will probably get the Yamaha Vino Classic.
I had a bicycle accident once that left me with two skinned knees, totally scratched-up arms, eighteen stitches in my face, and a cracked helmet. I don't even ride down the block without a helmet anymore.
I've got a bottle of Pinot Grigio...
My grocery store Rickrolled me while I was shopping.
LOVE the Tracy Letts thing!
I thought you would. I half expected to see my car in the background of some of those shots.
VictorC, isn't it the same thing?
