My next bike was a BV 350 which has been great. I called her Beverley. This week, I am selling her and bringing home a Vespa 300 GTS Super Sport which I am calling Capri. Does anyone on Modern Vespa name their scooter?

This is Capri

Just two
My family used to name their cars. I think just to buck that tradition I didn't name my cars, but I immediately named my scooters.
Vespa GT 200 - Bo Vespa GTS 300 - Tethys (Bo was short for Boanerges - one of the sons of thunder. Tethys is titanium grey and was the name of the Titan goddess of thunder.) Kim |

Sophia for my LXV150IE cuz that's a very classy Italian, the Liberty, ok, very lazy but she's Libby.. and that just a couple tickets in the raffle drawing.... She's Alta Dulce cuz that's High Sweet in Spanish and ya, winning that '78 P125X was and still is a awesome Sugar High.... Oh, and the car, is Precious, think Lord of the Rings... traded in a extremely fuel efficient car that had just been serviced and the gas tank filled for pretty paint and clutch with a 6 speed tranny and like Gollum, regardless of less mpg, more debt... that's my Precious and No, do not touch her, do not eat in her, do not even consider smoking, no, you can't borrow...and my son was my driver after the scooter accident and it was emotional to allow him to drive it...oh, don't do that! Shift, shift, No, no, not like that...oh, please leg, let me start driving again.... Needed that foot/leg for the dratted gas, needed knee to bend to even get in... needed to figure a way to do something with the Walker I needed, needed to figure out how to even get safety out of my house and to the car... Oh, so far NO One else ever runs my scooters......

To relive an old thread...
My Vignola Rosso GTS300 is called "Beauty", mainly because the black Kawasaki Versys 1000 is called "Beast". Then there's the silver LX50, she's called "Snoopy" and then of course the black Piaggio Ciao, which is called "Woodstock". It really helps especially my wife to know which ride I or we are going to take . |

And last fall Trinket came to live here, cuz, you know when someone on line mansplains how if I didn't waste my $ on Trinkets I could afford to buy a good car and maybe even build my credit rating to where I could get a home loan. |
