Wow. I wonder how they're modded for that kind of riding. Looks like most of them are on stock street tires!

This looks like a job for a Rattler.

Vespa entered Rally 180's in the Baja 500 in 1972. There were very little modifications. My understanding is all they did was add another light on the front and upgraded the air filter.

Just me on the pink Buddy. Living proof that a guy can own & ride a pink scooter and still be badass and still get the ladies.

RIGHT ON! We can start the "Badasses on Buddys" club. Better know as "BOB". I'll post a logo when I get a chance to make one.

That's some serious stuff right there. I wouldn't put my Rattler through that. Props to them.

I'd love to do that, if I were 20 years younger and had a crew.

A-men! We're definitely MANLY-ENOUGH for pastels! And all my buddies practically quit hammering on me because they know I'm fine with my color choice. They know who the ladies-man is. :)
Cya!
