Saying "I Love You" in Scooterese
Thursday January 17, 2008
Vespa is touting their LX line of scooters as a creative way to say "I love you" this Valentine's Day, and frankly, I find the idea strangely intriguing.
The 50cc model seen here (click to enlarge) runs $3,199, while the (relatively) brawnier 150cc model will relieve your would-be loved one's bank account of $4,299.
I generally prefer my two-wheeled transportation a bit... uh... manlier, but an extra scoot' in the garage sure would be handy for quick errands around town. Darling, if you're reading this, I'll take mine in black.

There are couple of vespas that are parked on our block and I kinda like the black one with tan seat, but not as much as the BMW that tends to find a spot in front of our building.
Scottie,
Last time I was in Manhattan I noticed a TON of Vespas.
Which Beemer catches your fancy?

darling, so i should ignore all those sport bike hints you’ve been tossing around?
“Manlier?” Dude. Feel free to go to town and get yourself a big swingin’ d*ck-replacement bike if you feel the need to, but please — show some props for the machine that’s consistently help get Italians laid since 1946… the Vespa.
Brouhaha,
C’mon, man… I rode a Vespa through the streets of Rome and had a blast. There’s nothing on two wheels I don’t enjoy; did you read the last line about me wanting one in black?

When gas is 3-4bucks a gallon I sure don’t mind getting 90mpg with my stella or my p200e when I run aroung town. Only had to fill up the stella twice last year and put on almost 1000 miles around town. The side car holds five cases or one lg keg.
