It is quite alarming, the number of people out there that are “very keen to get a scooter” – but they never get their ass into gear. They realise what a pleasure it is to drive in the city – skipping the traffic and parking next to front doors and beaches, with no car guards to deal with. Do you know how hilarious it is leaving your place at twenty to four and walking into a bank at ten to four? Ten minutes, door-to-door (literally) and no parking hassles. It’s too easy. You might as well rob the place while you’re there – they’ll never get near you in peak hour traffic.

Look, I’m not condoning armed robbery here. Shit, did I just say “armed?” Sorry, let’s get back to the point.

Vespa have just launched this cute little retro puppy – with 70′s-style square light in the front and a whole lot of sexual energy everywhere else. It’s called the S 150 i.e. and it’s fuel injected, for added awesomeness.

You know Mano, of Manos restaurant fame? He just got one. Chat to him. He clocked something like 1,000km in his first three weeks. The guys an animal with that Vespa!

Please do yourself (and me) a favour and stop dicking around. And also stop looking at those el cheapos. Been there. Done that, my friend. Don’t punish yourself. And anyway, Vespas are proven to be the safest scooters on the road. Take a look at the main picture of this story. Do you think guys like that get girls like that, just because they have rad calf muscles? No, is the answer. It’s his bike. And you think he could do that with a goddamn “Eurojet” or a “Big Boy?”

Please – shut.the.front.door!

Not that it’s just for guys… God no! This is the perfect crossover bike. Just you wait and see.

And if this is “out of your range,” then you’re going to find out very quickly what that “budget facility” on your credit card is all about. Swipe that beast and put it over 12 months, if you have an nth of intelligence in your brain. It’s THESE EXACT PURCHASES that you need the budget facility for. It’s not like you’re paying for a holiday – this is a bloody necessity!

GET.
