Modern Vespa

Damn, I do not relish relaying stuff like this, but I relate to it.

wow that was scary thank God he is ok. I am now living in AZ and with the heat here more and more I think about loosing some of the gear to be cooler, but then you see this and I think, ok keep the gear, that is way more important.

Frightening!
While most people are reveling in summer, Phoenicians are mostly in hiding.

I've been wearing my padded leather jacket more often than my regular leather jacket - I think I'll continue doing just that after watching the video.

The pants I have with padding, however, are a little unwieldy for running to the store, etc. I've only worn those when I'm out on the interstate. Are there any intermediate, errand-running in town, protective scooter pants?

Yes, we are.
