The perfect solution for when the beer distributor is a bit too far to walk. Actually it sounds like a the perfect solution for a lot of things. I had a Honda Elite scooter in high school, and it's still in my parents' garage. For me it wasn't Peck and Hepburn (though that was a great movie) but Honda's Lou Reed ad campaign with "Walk on the Wild Side."

If i were mayor, i'd give a free scooter to every city resident who sold her SUV.

Cool article Im not exactly a scooter guy, but Im a fan of anything with a motor and 2 wheels. Its great to see that they are catching on around the city.

New Vespas are grossly over priced, unfortunately.

I love the vespas. I'm holding out for an electric one though, and not that new toy kind but one that looks like a vespa. Anyone know of any?

If they made side-cars for dogs, I might sell my car!
