I totally loved riding Vespas for all the same reasons you cited. First when I was about 15 just once and years later around some Greek islands. It was quick easy to handle and had enough power for me and my wife. I wish I had one even now but not as practical for me now.

Sweet ride Teresa. Good choice on the 150cc as well, the 300cc is 15% larger scooter and for NYC the 150cc is plenty. Vespa New York should do an episode with me, I have 3 vespas and a Lambretta and I pick my son from school every day in one of them. We beat the school bus by 20-24 minutes. I have a 71 Vespa Sprint Veloce, a 78' P200E, a 05' PX and a 63 Lambretta LI series 3. The quality of the Vespas is top notch, you can't go wrong with this brand, they hold their value well.

Absolutely agree that riding a Vespa is excellent in every respect. I ride in Toronto. However, wearing high heels, no jacket, no riding gloves, is a really bad idea. A topcase also adds to how useful the bike is for groceries, etc.

When you go down you do not have to be going fast to become a road crayon. Why wear gloves you ask? Well, when you go down, your natural instinct is to catch yourself, and as I said you become a road crayon and I have seen the hands of two riders who were not wearing Lether riding gloves, and it was gross. Down to the bone.@@mytravls

Four years later and I wonder if anyone ever advised her to get a pair of leather riding gloves? Because when you go down, your natural instintc is to catch yourself, and at that point your hands become road crayons. I have seen it twice and it is not pretty, no flesh on the palms. I blame the dealer for this one.
