DAVE ROFL emoticon They tried. I was sicker than a dog. Told me i had the worst one and i was lucky because it wouldn't come back. It feels like somebody has taken a baseball bat to every part of your body. They lied.3 months later i came down with it again. I got it from my rafting trip in Madagascar and the CDC had never seen that strain before. So now i have a rap sheet with them. Never did check to see if they ever figured out the strain.

I keep telling myself I need to call Dave and make the drive up and over the hill yonder way just to lurk around a bit. But it always seems the Ridge rout is always in some sort of public chaos, wild fires, or folks trying for their personal Darwinian award...

Least-ways an Honorable mention.

I would have to believe a demo bike could and would be in order. Looks-wise, for me the Wasp is the real meal deal. But after being able to plant my no ass boney butt in the saddle of a BV and stretching out my legs a bit had me going wee!!! inside my child wants and needs mind of mush.

But? As I pointed out to my salesmen, WHY Beverly? But knowing Kern Countyians the removal of plastic she name plate would accomplish much to do with it. Coupled with the fact about all whom ride scooters here ride cheap Chinese till they reach heap status then end up in the trunk of a cop car heading to the impound yard.

I know what your thinking... "Stop it Gary!!! You intolerant phene of low class uneducated strokers!"

We ain't called a murder ah day for nuttin!

Hope I made some one laugh, about all I can do living here.

Happy Trails!

I had it sent from CA also. Bought it off of Scooter Bobby (his name on here) from Vespa Santa Barbra, Sadly he's not in business anymore. Back then there were a lot of CA dealers,too many. Ordered it on a fri late in the day (my time) got it delivered to my house early wed morning. Not bad (it came by air). Walked into my dealer here and walked out. Horrible salesman. I had bought a used LT 150 but always wanted a Vespa. So here i am 9yrs later and at almost 39,000 and still loving him.
