Motorcycle review.
Though I don't think I'd call a Vespa a 'motorcycle':

".....

I also liked the idea of a Vespa because most bikes are Japanese. This means they are extremely reliable so you cannot avoid a fatal crash by simply breaking down. This is entirely possible on a Vespa because it is made in Italy.

........"

They certainly are very cool...retro looking. A bit smaller than a lot of scooters you see in Italy, France and elsewhere in Europe these days. Monsters compared with what you see scooter jockeys perched on here. I don't know if they're more crazy in Rome or Paris though.

I believe most people who travel on the roads in such an exposed fashion, have a death wish.

I'd say, it's a really fun way to die, but I'm not sure being ground into a kind of pasty flesh smear by the pavement at 65 mph before what's left of your head shatters on the car ahead of you is really a fun thing.

Maybe?

Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane is a RUSH.

It's crazy!

I'm in for possum stomping

I might buy a motorcycle next spring. I've always wondered what having every bone in my body broken feels like.
