(A rare breed of “Smiling” hipsters caught in the wild)
Metroactive Features | Summer 2005 | Vespas: “Scooters ain’t just for hipsters”
Just a little article from a non-hipster vespa rider. Says something like:
The GT was a cinch to ride, and zippy– easily fast enough to feel safe merging into moving traffic. It’s compact and maneuverable, making splitting lanes a breeze, and with a top speed of 80 mph (you have to sort of duck down out of the wind and lean forward), I felt perfectly comfortable passing cars on Highway 1.
Up at the Bonny Doon tasting room I discovered the Vespa (Italian for “wasp”) is a veritable chick magnet–one of the perky “pour sluts” jumped on the back and made me motor her around the parking lot. Indeed, it truly looked adorable parked out front as I enjoyed some Italian-style wines inside. Fortunately, the storage bucket is big enough to carry multiple bottles of wine and plenty of ice.
