My girlfriend’s brother is moving to France for four years in March. And today, on his birthday of all days, he said there was a gift waiting in the garage for me.
And what a gift it is, a 1964 Vespa 150 in very good condition. He’s had it for a few years and never got it running properly, nor had the time to fix it up and/or drive it. So on the proviso that I get it running again and look after it, it’s mine. I absolutely didn’t know what to say. In fact my first word was ‘Mad’, followed by a swift ‘Seriously though...’ and ‘Amazing, thank you’.
So two wheels good, right? Can’t wait to see it strapped into the back of the open top Land Rover once I get them both working!

Spectacular. Of course, since you’re a reasonable large bloke, you’ll look nearly as silly as The Orangutan driving it, but it may be just the ticket for runs to the shop.

I don’t care and I can’t wait. I’m going to ride it unironically.

I know. I’m not great at receiving gifts at the best of times.

Most everyone’s got a bit of Mod inside.

I think a Lambretta is de rigueur for the Mods. I’ll just have to be one of those countryside pretenders with the wrong gear and no idea.

Hmmm... Careful. Appears to be a dowry of some sorts. But a tempting one.

Perhaps. Luckily I’m not one to worry about such things. Free scooter!

That is gorgeous! You people are just making me want a scooter now more than I did before! :( Looking forward to new articles on this little guy!
I can’t recall -did you / do you have a bike already?

Nope, while I’ve ridden bikes I’ve never actually owned one. Car Guy-Twingo Tamer reckons the twist shift on these takes a little while to get used to too. Should be a fun learning curve!

Screw every single car on Oppo, I’m jealous of you Vespa guys. Once I move to Florida I may finally invest in a quality scooter.

I don’t do Italian scoots or the ring-a-ding strokers, but that’s one sweet scoot. Hope you get it up and running soon and have lots of fun on it.
