I was picking out my nags in the NY Daily News today when I came across a article and nice picture of some old scoots.

Its a pic of a old codger with what looks like six old scoots(Lammy's & Vespa) Blinged out to hell! Weather he did the work himself or he bought a few all ready chromed is yet to be determined. The article goes on to say what respect he has for older scoots .

I like the press for old time scoots but IMO its a bad example.

Comments

p.s. I cant find the story online sorry...

Why do you think it's a bad example? Because he likes bling?

i can only speculate, since i'm not the OP nor did I see the article, but my guess is it's "a bad example" because noob's will see all the bling, get excited and the next time they see a bodgy deathtrap for sale, they'll assume they're the same thing, and lay their credit card (and their life) on the line.
