Even if you did crash, that pod you have for a head would probably protect you. Do you even have to wear a helmet?

It is a 2003 ET4 125cc. They also have an ET4 that is 150cc and there is still the two stroke as well (ET2). They all look the same.
The speed limit here is 35 kilometers per hour - which is slow as fuck - but the roads here are so narrow and twisty that it feels a lot faster than it really is. Most people drive at least 40 and usually anything over 50 will get you in trouble. 35km being the equiv of about 22mph.
The 125cc Vespa can easily get up over 50mph, and the 150cc one can very easily do about 80mph. That said, they don't allow the 150cc here, and there are very few spots here that you could go that fast anyway - and if you did, it would be pretty amusingly insane unless you were on the straightaways out by the airport or perhaps parts of the North Shore. (there is a bit of the South Shore that is fairly wide open, but you get a lot of people slowing down suddenly to look at the views)

A lot of places won't let you have the older ones. They are very efficient and quiet, but they pollute like a mofo with the old 2 stroke. There are old ones here that are grandfathered in, but they can't bring any more.
The old ones are nice because you drop them hard and nothing comes off of them.
I only have the one - the 125cc. 125cc is currently the largest engine that they will allow in any bikes here.
The US MSRP on it is $4K, but ours was less than that - of course once we got the container on the back and the license/registration/insurance on it, it was up to about $5K I think.
I would imagine that unless you are in SF, you are going to get a lot of shit for having one. Everyone here has scooters and bikes, so it is no big deal. But in the land of the SUV, the scooter stands out and is more dangerous too.

Your tits would act as an airbag system if you did wreck on a bike.
A little known factoid you have in common with Dolly Parton.

Poyeboy is very cool. So cool that he could start a new hip trend of vespa riding by the masses. It's true!

I ain't hatin' ya.
Just pulling yer leg dawg.
I'm a breast man, so I ain't complainin'!
Why Vespa? Especially an older one? IMO they look like shit. If you're just looking for a faster scooter why not a Zuma? A dude at my work has one. They go about 50 mph and have bigger tires on them for playing in the dirt(we all know poye loves that). Looks kinda like the pic above with oversized tires. I think it cost him $1000 used BTW.
