My GTS 300 is nameless; she's only a few days old, thinking of calling her 'Queen Gorgo' but don't want to disrespect the Greek gods. May just call her 'Drago'

My LX150 was called 'TEX2'. I gave it to my wife who promptly renamed it 'hand-me-down'

One day before a run, I met this old Spaniard retired priest. He told me that he had a Vespa in Spain many years ago. And gave me all kinds of compliments on my Vespa. He called his Scooter, "Camila The Prostitute" because he could "rider her" anytime and never complained. I was so surprised with such comment (specially coming from a priest!). I guess he died after that so, in his honor, I named her Camila also.

Hmmm, you named your two scooters basically the same thing, just whores of a different color? Razz emoticon
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.

Hi,

My GTS 300 is named "Frances" after the Diane Lane character in Under A Tuscan Sun.

Actually it wasn't that hard to do,
I just gave "Bernice" a "nice rack" on her front.

She stands out much nicer in a crowd now.

I haven't officially named my scooter, but it is informally referred to by a horrible pronunciation of the manufacturer in what I would call a high-pitched vapid Brooklyn girl's accent:

Peee-ah-gee-oh

It's an inside joke passed on by a friend. In Las Vegas there is a hotel called The Palazzo. When at a club, my friend was chatting up a lady and asks where he is staying. He replies with "The Palazzo". She says, "Oh, the Puh-lahtz-eeee-oh".

End of story.

My GTS is called "scooter", the wife's GTS is called "scooter"; - as in; I'm heading out, taking the "scooter." Unlike when a car is taken; because we would say something like - I'm heading out, taking the car, too cold/wet for the "scooter."

My Dragon Red Gts. is called "Bastard" after it just expired completely on a left hand bend fortunately not far from home.
I'm 60 and had to push it back..how embarrasing... checked the plug lead and thats ok, so its going to the Vespa shop on the truck to be connected to the computer and hopefully fixed. as its still under warranty.

Angeo, because it sounds Italian and it's an anagram for her home town of Genoa. She and her friend Guiseppi (a 1960 VBA) live in my shed, the Scootreia. Skuderia (Italian for horse barn) is the name Enzo Ferrari gave to his race shop. Does anyone else have a pet name for thier garage?
