It's gorgeous, but looks better with you sitting on it smiling and riding!

Matt, you know just the right thing to say

Pat, it is so beautiful I love the way the flowers look like they are deep into the paint and you are almost looking though water to see them. So striking.

I totally tried to come back this year, but... I couldn't rack up the $3000 or so to move all my stuff back It must be nice living in a place where you can ride your scoot all year. Hey do my a favor and ride your vespa through de luz for me. I have been craving that or la cresta ever since I got it, it would be so pretty thrugh all the avacodo groves. mmmm. You suck!

haha well My parents still live there, so i think I can bum off of them for awile. heh. I have a ton of friends who roomate with people in bigger houses, so it's really about just getting a truck cheap enough to come back(which I don't see that happening.) I am glad that Temecula has some people that are sporting the vespa scene. It makes me happy.

Awesome
I was surprised to see MP3's on the
up coming ride pro-moes Red and Blue.
But then I came across the Blue Hibiscus
scooter and it's awesome to look at.
Congrats on having the work done
and the awesome paint job. Did you notice
the seagulls in a row?

Beautiful scoot!

I like how it's elegant, but still really simple. And the blue details elsewhere really make it pop. Very very nice!

I had an idea of what I wanted and had a bad experience with a pin stripper so I took a photo of a decal sort of what I wanted and the painter expanded on that.
