Modern Vespa

you WALK down the street, hear something behind you, and try to check your mirrors to see.

That is funny.

You know, it's hard for me to ride a bicycle as I'm always trying to check my mirrors (which aren't there).

That is way funny.. only because I have not done so yet myself... but I am sure it will happen...

You order the fast food combo meal and have to think a moment about where you're gonna put the drink even though you're eating in.

You are making love and have mounted your partner doggy style. You grab her shoulders and try to scootch her off the center stand.

You give your sister fashion advice: "ooh, those would look good with a Vespa" when you are a guy.

Items in question were a set of leather boots.

When its cold and without thinking you look down for the heater switch !

...you go for a walk and reflexively reach to cancel the turn signal switch after you turn a corner!

When your driving your truck and instinctively begin to lanesplit.....

(only happened one time.....really, thats my story and I'm stickin' to it...)

You will only wear clothes to work that are scooter-appropriate. I learned the hard way that little skirts with no slits make for Ass Street, rather than Ash Street.

Me too

HAHAHAHAHAHHA
Maybe i'll just use the kick stand tonight

When you reflexively give 'the wave' while out for a walk with your wife.

As you finish up you feel a distinct wobble.

Specifically, front end wobble...

... you stop the gas pump at 1.7 gallons to prevent overflow when filling up your SUV.

I *totally* did that last week...and tried to use my turn signal a couple of times! I had to remind myself to get back on the shoulder of the road, too....

You lean into your right turn in your VW.

You carry something around in a store for a 1/2 hour, only to realize at the checkout that there's NO PLACE for an object of that size/shape on your Vespa.

If there's a center stand, is it still considered a "she?"

You are describing a side stand. Kick it back to the right.

Yeah totally and worst thing is i always buy huge baguettes. And i look like such a frenchy going home eith it sticking out like an antenna .

And yeah i get uber paranoid when just getting off scooter and want to see who is behind me find myself using anything i can just to see whats behind me phone screen (reflective when off) or even my shiny helmet . . . the one i wear on my head. .. wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

when you start sounding like one

When you find yourself tucking in every day situations, like walking up a hill...

... or the impulse to beat every one off the line, waiting for the "Walk" sign to cross the street...

When the two major activities of your day are; riding your scoot and posting about riding on MV. R

Can you spend too much time on a Vespa?

if you've reached for the fuel tap between your legs when parking your car.

When you cancel your car turn signals before they automatically turn off. Lisa

you go to pull your bicycle out of the garage and end up swinging it through the air, discovering that it only weights 8lb.s and not 300 lb.s

when you bang your hand on the closed window of the truck trying to give the scooter wave to a passing scooter.

When you grab the handle bars tightly when getting on your spinning bike so it doesn't roll.

When your arse goes numb!!!!!

When you choose to talk to the big hairy guy instead of the pretty girl at the party because he's into scooters too.

peace..I'm out...

Or maybe the dipstick...

When you start to get into your truck for a trip to the lumber yard wearing full gear including the gloves and helmet (visor down).

Hey! I resemble that remark... R

When you take your glasses off to put a regular hat on your head instead of the full face helmet... I do this once every few weeks!
