There’s nothing like a Vespa
For the happiest time of your life. The fun way to go places… and save money too.
See your local Vespa Dealer. He’ll be happy to take the entire family out for a thrilling test ride. For an illustrated brochure showing all three Vespa models send ten cents in coin to cover handling and mailing to:

There’s nothing like a Vespa for a 50-year-old guy who still dreams of his cheerleading days.
I am 50, ride a Vespa, and couldn’t give a rat’s ass what people like you think.
Brad: A mite defensive are we?
“What do *you* care what other people think?” –Arline Feynman
Brad: “People like you”? What do you mean, people like you? Do you mean people named Charlene or women in general? Riding your scooter I’d tend towards that one.
Or is it women named Charlene who have more class than you? Probably.
Breathe, everybody.
Vespas swarm (pun intended) the Italian streets, and are used by young, randy guys; in fact most riders have a pretty girl clinging to them. That’s the image I have of Vespas. Ahh, I wish I had a Vespa, in fact. Except here in Atlanta, I’d be smashed by a suburban ussault vehicle within a week.
Boy, that stirred up a wasp’s nest!
My mother had one when she lived in France. Went nice with my father’s ’52 Anglia. Who’s have guessed my parents had such hip transpo?
@ Scott B.
“Vespas swarm (pun intended)…” Where’s the pun? What else does Vespa mean?
TomW: It means “wasp” or “hornet.”
Man, I missed all the fun while I was away.
It is true, Vesph is family car, three kids and me and my better half enjoyed the days with veshp who never gives us trubble, It is still with us. God Bless the vesph team.
Iftikhar Saroya: How can you not spell Vespa? It’s at the top of the post and in the ad!
Maybe his was a knockoff. As in “I traded in my Vesph for a Hondo.”
Toronto: Or maybe a Hurly Dovedsan?
Now, I’d like to remind you of this: http://blog.modernmecha…
Serious business, that Vespa
