twas my wife that booked the trip, made me get my license and booked a 10 day vespa tour around Tuscany. the day i got home i went straight from airport to drop off bags, kept driver waiting and got him to then drop me off at the vespa house where i bought 2 vespas.
after a few months upgraded to a ducati monster, then wanted more so upgraded to a 1198 duc then decided i would get the triumph i always wanted.
so for me it was a natural progression....vespa, ducati, rocket. you see the family accepted the vespa as safe as couldnt get into too much trouble. then i convinced them i needed real brakes and bigger wheels to keep safe then it was slightly faster ducati but better brakes and suspension, then the rocket was obviously safer because it is bigger and easier to see plus being a cruiser it would slow me down...
so now i have a vespa thats easier to see, better brakes, bigger wheels and easier to see! A safe vespa is a Triumph rocket roadster with two hundred and forty something hp and 270 something nm of torque. lol all its missing is the vespa badge, but hey it'll do!!!
