I really want a Vespa, please.

[jigsy]

If I move to pasadena, but not on walking distance to the office, I will be getting one. We can be in a scooter gang together.

[justkly]

DO IT! Both of you. L.A. and Pasadena are the perfect place for vespa's.

Side Note: I love Pasadena. I worked there for a few years and it was glorious. There's so much to do.

do it!! DH and I have a Genuine Buddy 150 and we drive it EVERYWHERE. to the movies, to church, to the grocery store, etc.

We actually love it so much that we are going to upgrade to a Vespa 300 so we can drive it on the highway. We live in suburban Dallas btw and it's so much fun having a scooter.

YES. I would love this. We can have meetups with our gang at the most hipster of all coffee shops.

DH and I actually got approached to join a scooter gang, it was awesome! Have you seen Larry Crowne? I always ask DH "wanna join my gang?"

[snorky]

Based on the parallel parking issue alone, I say go for it. Fuck that shit.

Ah, yes. I went through a Vespa phase in my mid 30s. Never did pull the trigger though. I say do it.

[sequins]

Yes!! I love them!!

I was thinking more along the lines of scrubs when JD and Turk get scooters and start a gang. I'd name by scooter Sasha in honor of JD

We have a little scooter and use it mostly to run to the corner store. Love it, it's so much fun. So yeah, I vote do eeeet.

[amberlyrose]

Do it! Even if you move eventually, you can use it for small trips to the store or a cup of coffee.

mp Well we actually just went to the Vespa store so I feel like I know a lot lol

I LOVE my Buddy, absolutely love. Genuine is a Taiwanese company so they make great scooters, much better than Chinese made scooters, not quite as fancy as Italian made scooters.

Buddies are plastic body so they way about 250 pounds vs Vespa while is a metal frame and about 320 lbs. The weight difference isn't huge, but sometimes if it is really windy I feel like I get blown around a bit on my Buddy.

As far as the plastic vs metal thing goes, the lady at the Vespa store made a good point in saying that heaven forbid should you crash, the plastic Buddy parts are WAY cheaper to replace than the metal Vespa ones.

My former neighbor had a teal and purple one with a sidecar that she strapped her rat terriers into, with their doggles on, of course.  It was the cutest thing ever.

mp I am getting a three wheel scooter that's street legal in CA because we're going to be a one car family. Wanna form a ML Scooter Gang with me and jigsy?

Ooh what are ya getting?


berbles the idea of Stinky in dog goggles practically makes a sidecar an eventual requirement.

I was HOPING you would say something like that!!

[mcc]

Get it. Put Stinky in goggles too.

My friends had them in college. I think the most popular were the Kymko ones. www.kymcousa.com/showroom/index_onroad.html
