ParticipantWow. Now I am having serious Vespa envy. A slower one on side streets sounds just about my speed! I could even probably learn to shift the hand clutch, as I, too, drive a stick!
As for my hubbie. . . he was riding a new, very large bike (a Kawasaki VTX 1800, I think?) and hit some loose gravel going around a curve. Lost control, and the bike slide a long way with him on it and then hit a curb and went up and over into a field. Sigh. He is very fortunate in that he came away with only a badly sprained ankle and lots of road rash. His bike was pretty much totaled, and he decided to hang it up. I think that long slide on the bike was a little too close for comfort, and since he likes plenty of other slightly dangerous hobbies, he decided to eliminate that one until our kiddo is an adult.
Geez, sorry to everyone else for having hijacked this post!
My vote for the next bubble is alternate energy sources.EDIT: I meant a Kawasaki Vulcan. Shows you how much I (don’t) know about motorcycles! I think Honda makes the VTX. In any case, it was big, it was new, and now it is gone.

Participantjp–are they hard to balance on? My husband was a motorcycle rider for years, until he was in an accident in 2006. (he was okay, his bike. . . not so much!) I have always been a little bit of a chicken, but that made me even more so! Do you just ride on main streets and avoid the freeway? I know they have versions that go faster than others.
That striped special edition version they came out with a few years ago was sooooo cute!
