Lets face it, scooters are not the most masculine machines out there. Add the color red and also a whicker basket to it and I don't want to be seen riding it without my wife on the back. You see, i f my wife is on the back then no one ever wonders if the scooter is mine, or at least I hope not, they should just assume it is her scooter.

Anyways, today, I decided to take a long trip on this red vespa and do the unthinkable; ride it alone, with everyone thinking that the scooter is definitely mine and that I bought a red vespa and put a basket on it. The destination was Midway and back and lets just say that there was heavy holiday traffic. I was passed by every Harley in the state of Utah and I'm sure they had their laughs at my expense. Oh and to top it off, when the vespa hits an incline it slows to 30 mph. This held up traffic pretty bad so I also was getting bad looks for wasting peoples time.

What I learned about myself:

1. I love the scooter. (I would pick another color for myself but all in all it was an awesome ride)

2. Yesterday was a cold Labor Day to be riding without a Jacket.

3. The Vespa gets up to 74 mph down hills and bugs hurt when they hit you in the face at that speed.

4. I found it very funny to see the reactions people had to me riding the scooter.

5. I also learned that I can totally pull it off ha.
