In the sixties, riding Vespas and Lambrettas are really escape (with some contraindication to the lower back). And, compared to the media today, do not ever leave the street or, at least, could you share with them. Have you ever seen an advertisement of the scooter of the sixties? Those where the world is beautiful and we went with his girlfriend to picnic on the lawn without a helmet, crossing and fishermen seeking other couples to capture their prey near their scooter. I recently saw the movie advertised that the first vintage Lambrettas and I could not help but think back to the adventurous journeys to the edge of my glorious Vespa. The first thing that comes to mind is the pain in the ass. One could not imagine how bad any way you can sit down after the 4 or 5 hour drive on a Vespa to the island of Elba. At one point we had to stop every half hour to rest the part. The second thing that comes to mind is the fun of a motorcycle trip with friends. There is no comparison with travel by car we do now. On the other hand is a bit 'hard to imagine to bring the luggage of a tour on a Vespa. The third thing that comes to mind is that if, finally reached the sea, one gets picked up by the enthusiasm and drive shirtless in costume and flip flops to Antonacci, easily falls into a kind of cutlet in the gravel of ' asphalt. And so it was. The fourth thing that comes to mind is that the gas stations of the motorway services, contrary to what one might think, not to sell oil to the mixture, which implies that if you make a journey of more than 500 km sooner or later Grippo. In fact, I, trusting that I had previously purchased the motorway services to the oil mixture, I seized. The fifth thing that comes to mind is that after seized the bypass miraculously managed not to fall, me, my girlfriend and all the baggage, the sale shall be distributed as if nothing had happened. But we are talking about the old PX, the one with the gears, the one with the brake pedal, in short, what do not produce more. What if the event does not restart, groped you at least an emergency treatment, such as clean spark plug, or pushing / jumping saddle by placing the second, until you feel the first symptoms of stroke. Of course, scooters are now running a single speed bike and go as best of the Lippe, not to mention the convenience of never having to change the clutch when the wire is broken (and sooner or later you break), but if it stops scooter single speed, you're finished. To understand where there might be the spark of my Scrabble, before I steal it, it was also a problem for my mechanic, I imagine if you put me there to try to locate it in case of failure. It is sad to leave the vehicle on the spot and called the mechanic who kindly come to fetch the truck. Another thing that came to my mind while I was complaining about is that we all knew before leaving that the sale would not have betrayed. And indeed it was. Elio
