You got it.

Vraiment, Il y a une différence - salope - is a slut or dirty woman.
- putain - is a whore or a paid prostitute.

Not to be thought as being misogynistic, but I have found if you treat 'em mean, they really perform.

I usually call it just "vespa" when in mixed company. But to those who know me enough to get my wierd sense of humor I call it "thundercloud".

Tom Servo from the defunct tv show Mystery Science Theater 3000 had a little go-cart one episode that he refered to as Thundercloud.

The GT has two names. The first was Wang Chung which I was never really sure about but then I changed it to The Hornet.

A far far better name.

I named my LX Serenity because I liked the Firefly TV series and because I think its sky blue color is serene.

My LX150 is named "Amadora" - a girl's name meaning "gift of love".


Amadora is also a municipality near Lisbon in Portugal (gotta love wikipedia!)

Looking back, the only times I even think of naming my scooter is when one of these threads pop up. My responses have always been something along the line of "If I named my scooter, it would be...."

But any other time of the year it's "the scooter" or "the Vespa."

And so it shall remain nameless.
