I've never owned one, always been a fan. But the one that's on my "bucket list" of must have vehicles is this one: (see pic)

i have been riding Vespa and Lambretta scoots for 20+ years.

watch out for all of the Vietnam crap that has made it into the

U.S. marketplace.

go for a p200......fast enough for the highway.....and a very

reliable Vespa model.

call Barry at the SF Scoot Centre.....see what he has....as i am

not selling any of mine at this time.

If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

Nothing for sale but can tell you they are fun and easy to work on. I built mine from spare parts when I was 16. Over the past 20 years it has been torn down a dozen times. Back in the day parts were pricey and hard to come by, now you can get almost everything and prices are way lower. I'm a pretty big guy and a P200 with a pipe, a kit (larger cylinder/piston) and 30mm carb is way fun to zip around on, not crazy about going on the freeway though.

Hmmm, maybe it's time to give the ole scoot some love.

What are you going to do with that; hold it between your legs and run down the road like Fred Flintstone.

Still giving you the shit; but seriously would it not be cheaper to just buy one. My man you are not going to have time for that!

hahaha..that's some funny shit my man. I really want to give it a shot, a friend of mine says it's real easy to work on. I can always send it to the P.I if all else fails..those scoots from e-bay are the Vietnamese made scoots and they are the shits.

You been riding your bike lately or are you back sitting on your your fat ass like you always do?

Back to sitting on my ass, it's just way too cold to ride; besides I've been too cheap to buy cold weather gear. Salt is everywhere you look on the streets. I was going to get an indoor trainer but I'm too cheap and I'll probably end up just looking at it.

You know what; I'm gonna go on ebay and find some CSC cold weather gear from China and get off my ass and get back in the game!
