I like it. Thanks for sharing. The guy on the right in #17 with the hottie perched behind him looks like Rock Hudson so I'm thinking it's from a 50s movie. Anyone know which one?

Come September (1961) with Gina Lollobrigida.

Those Vespa office chairs are sweet.

Why do half these reasons bug me? Maybe I'm getting curmudgeonly.

The scooter chair got my attention (after I stared at the girls drying off for a while). My wife is always asking why I build greasy loud contraptions instead of furniture. Maybe I could concoct one for her birthday.

and on hot days you can drive down the road drying your pits one by one.

Geeze, interesting, but I can think of my own!

1. I save money on gas.
2. I save money on insurance.
3. It feels like flying!
4. Gets me out into nature and the elements.
5. I make new scooter and motorcycle friends!
6. Gives me something to look forward to daily.
7. Therapy-ever see one parked in front of a psychiatrist's office?
8. Makes me tune into the world around me "up close and personal".
9. Gets me connected to my local community.
10. Did I say FUN?
11. Makes me feel happy inside!
12. One less car on the road!
13. They're cute!
14. My family gets a break when I take off on a long ride!
15. I start to notice every scooter that I pass by on the road.
16. I become a more defensive/aware driver in a car too.
17. I get some "away/me" time when I ride.
18. I am a happier person overall and people around me benefit.
19. I pay attention to the traffic patterns, best time to ride, areas to ride.
20. I've learned to use a GPS in order to map out back road routes!

A few things that I have now learned from the 20 reasons. Italians are chain smokers, any one riding a scooter has no need for any type of gear, girls can develop road rash on their lovely parts (because of no gear), flip flops and loafers are the only foot wear that you need, scooter riders don't need to follow any written laws, and the big one... ALL scooters are Vespa's no matter what part of the world you live in. Now I will go and put on my shorts and flops, hop on my Genuine RH50 Vespa, and ride till I reach Rome.

And dont forget Agrogod to practice you italian..."ciao bella" combined with a chin point while having that chain smoke cigarette hanging from the corner of your mouth while holding a half smile.

I like Gregory Peck and Audrey Hapburn in Roman Holiday better. Gina was a little too much everything

Lol! Yes, but only because I ride one to work. The clients always come in cages

... "if that's what you're into"

I enjoyed these. Probably more than I should have for several reasons.

No...you just know too much of the reality.

And don't even think of getting me started on the chairs!
