That motorcycle rider was scared of his bike.

Put a competent rider aboard it and the Vespa would have faded from the mirrors at the first set of turns.

Ok then.

How about a mini Nova?

I agree he's not a good rider but you can't pop wheelie on a stock Vespa. They don't sound like that either.

Yea, there is more to the story, but never mind.

The motorcycle rider was tentative. No peg scraping, no hard braking but "trail braking, and bad corner lines.
Bet he was using more back brake too. Wish I had some vids of me getting wild on the Connie.

Make Italian Scooters Great Again. :roll:

True. And I may or may not have had a hand in building similar contraptions once upon a time, along with a fast little Cushman. ;)

I do when on mine, but I'm not sure the statute of limitations has run out on them yet... :lol:

It's not a motorcycle unless it's a Bultaco, Hodaka, or Rokon.
