I’m usually happy to have sound and see shapes moving on the screen…

Orin: The Vespa 125 would probably be like riding a Vino. Maybe.

There would be no variety at all….

Jack: You steer with your body anyways so who needs tight handlebars?

A bigger error is made by the narrator, who says the engine displaces 150cc. The bike being built is a GTS 300 Super, which has an engine displacing 278cc.

In some markets, Piaggio offers a GTS 125i.e. I wonder just how gutless something like that might be…

I was thinking the same thing as Jack. But I still enjoyed the information. Makes it look so simple to just snap everything in place. So who preassembled the front end? -Lori

Must be as a result of many years of superb advertising writings and diligent practise.

And Steve, the video was was interesting, Uncle Jack Reipe’s introspective comments aside.

I enjoyed that little short on the birth of a Vespa scooter. BVut they never do show you the final tightening of the handlebars. Scary, huh?

Sincerely,

That show on the science channel is one of my favorite ones. I didn’t know that the Vespa was water cooled….
