Remember its a celebration of Vespa in the movies; so your going to have a few romantic scenes, a few “getaway” scenes. I’m sure the same would apply if it was a “celebration of Harley’s” in the movies.

Steve, none of us are immune to chronological aging ; wecan slow it from happening however it shall still happen. That noted keep thinking today was your appointment with your cardiologist and am trusting for you, the best.
The Vespa video is of an era past, for both of us. I could never fit on a Vespa being too big
and you sir, shall keep riding….

That said, the film surely shows what we all see in real life…no proper gear or protection on all types of “riders”, not just the scooteristas….

Just direct me over to the “old folks” section too please…..

Another worry is that we have enough brainless idiots wandering mindlessly through traffic on motorcycles as it is – obliviously giving the majority of safe riders a bad name. Do we need to encourage this sort of behavior on scooters as well?

Cue another grey hair I guess..

I just rode through Illinois and Indiana and observed what I’ve seen before in those states. Many motorcycles are on the road, but no one wears safety gear, including helmets. I saw one guy on a Goldwing with a helmet and no shirt!

I liked the video though. It makes Vespa riding look fun, not all serious like a motorcycle. But I do agree with both of you and the safety factor. A Vespa isn’t a bicycle.
