I really want a Vespa LX 50. I am saving now…but they are very expensive…
Down to 1200 now….almost half way there….
Secretly hoping my dad will help me get there if my grades are good at the end of the year… ;-)
How to buy a Vespa
It made me
a scooter girl 
"I love my scooter."
How I did it: Well it's not a vespa but it is a scooter.
Just a 50cc little thing but I love it.
I checked out all the stores here and town and went with this one because it's the cheapest and smallest one I could find.
Unfortunately, after only 2 months of having it, I broke my kneecap and have been unable to drive it...luckily it's through the winter months when I wouldn't want to be driving it anyway. Once I'm totally mobile again though I'll be back to zipping around (at 30mph).
[I wrote that it took two weeks..that's the time it took from when I set out to buy it seriously, they were continually out of stock or not open. :( I had been thinking about getting one for years and years though.]
Lessons & tips: Search around. Don't settle for something you don't love.
Also, learning to ride one isn't very difficult. It's easier to operate than a bicycle.
Resources: I used the internet, visiting shops, and talking to people in person to do research.

The Vespa LX 50 costs a tad over $3,000 and gets 90 miles to the gallon.
I’m saving, yes I am.
There's this couple...

I have seen, on several different occasions, THE cutest, most simple, most urban, most granola-y, loveliest, couple riding their Vespa ever-so-peacefully down Westheimer in Montrose, with the wind in their hair, just getting along in their daily life, traveling from point A to B, like nothing else mattered in the world. I love that. And because of this, I want a Vespa.

Well, I’ve got me a sugar daddy (kidding Joshy, really), who can give me the money I need to do my scooter license course ($280) and a down payment on a scooter I found in Geelong. _

It’s as close as I could afford and I love it!!! I bought a Buddy 125 last year and it’s been a blast to ride. I got the “Italia” special edition and it’s got kind of a retro look to it. It’s fast enough for me and I’m really glad I got it.
Maybe one day I’ll get a Vespa too!
Heather is trying to stay positive.

I love Princess Han Maeby, my Honda Metro, but in the years to come, I would love to upgrade to a Vespa.

I just bought a vespa two weeks ago to run errands at stuff and I haven’t filled up the gas tank yet.
You don’t have to get a motorcycle license.. or insurance really at least in Florida if you are over 21. But I have the insurance.. I don’t need anyone stealing my $3,200 scooter. ;)

“Does anyone know if I will need a motorcycle endorsement on my license in order to drive a Vespa? State is Arizona if it happens to be state specific.”

“Sooo... first question: How well do vespas handle cold weather? Also, is buying a guide the best way to start working on your scooter?”
