Modern Vespa

I'm not entirely sure why this is a "top growing query" from our Google search performance for February.

But there you go.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

With the way the crime rate has been growing in our neighborhood, I'd consider a Bazooka Vespa.

It's a "leading indicator" of rising interest in Bazooka Vespas. The savvy investor buys stock in Bazooka Vespa Inc. immediately and reaps the benefits in the coming months/years.

Damn auto correct.

On a different note-During the war Vespa had a model w/a real bazooka attached through the body and was really meant for firing live ammo. I had a model of one. Strange but anyway….

Yep! I've seen it in person at the Museo Piaggio.

That's not a bazooka, it's a recoiless rifle. They weren't fired from the Vespa. They were taken off and fired from a tripod. The original intent was to drop them with paratroopers.

That's all well and good, but try telling that to Google. Or all the people typing "Bazooka vespa for sale" into the google search bar.

You're right. I lost the context.

That's exactly what I thought of when I heard "Bazooka Vespa".

And I'd totally ride that right through town. It's got Road Warrior written all over it.

"Who's scooter you making fun of now, punk?"

For all you weapon experts - The BAZOOKA Vespa was called that, I was designed to be a agile, mobile tank killer and it was a miserable failure, so the name is 100% accurate, who care what kind of guns were on it? It was indeed called the BAZOOKA Vespa

Did you seriously register an account just to necropost this topic and argue the correct nomenclature of this Vespa artifact?

Isn't that the whole point of this thread though? Some people take their Bazookas very seriously.

I'd argue that 2 out of 3 ain't bad (agile and mobile), and doesn't constitute failure, miserable or otherwise.

Like if you built a lawn mower c/w bazooka (or whatever it is) with the view to creating a grass cutting, garden beautifying tank killer, you'd simply have to remove the bazooka and be left with a perfectly useable lawn mower.

I hear a "That's what SHE said" ...

This thread is about to take a dangerous left turn.

A safe right turn is needed
Anybody ?
