Not what you think. In these times of ever rising gas prices, I've decided to do something I thought I'd never do again........ride a motorcycle.....well a scooter that is. It's been over 20 years since I have ridden a motorcycle. Due to my back problems I gave it up....but times have changed and a once geekie (or European look) is going to come back strong. After all for just around town, 65 miles to the gallon is a good idea.

    Do those w/two wheels in the front also have two in the rear or just one?

    I'd love to have a Vespa!  But I suppose I'd look like an eccentric old woman on one.  What the heck....I have 2 donkeys and 10 dogs, so I probably AM an eccentric old woman!  LOL!

    Pat, there's only one back wheel. It doesn't matter what people think.......70 miles to the gallon.

    Fun shots!  I would love the 70 mpg, but I am scared to death to ride a motorcycle.  My husband has a suzuki, very seldom will I ride with him.  Be safe!  :o)

    The three wheelers look kool. When I was 14 I used to steal my dads Vespa late at night when he was out delivering new babies,and ride under the moonlit night on back roads of New Hampshire. My six cylinder Honda now gets @ 40 mph today. Cool scoot shots.
