I've been riding scooters for over 4 years. This is my first bike.
I've never had one, never thought of buying one or had the desire to
own one. How did I end up with a scooter? That's a good
question. I guess it was out of desperation. I was fed up with the
subway and looking for a better way to commute.
At first, I wanted to buy a motorcycle because I already had a
passion for MC's since I was a kid. I started doing research
online for something inexpensive and economical. Scooters came up on
the search but I didn't give it much thought. Then one day I saw a
couple riding a scooter in Soho. They were both smiling and laughing
just like in a Vespa ad– they looked so happy. From that point on I started
to visualize myself on a Vespa.
I went online and did a search for scooters and found an awesome
group of people who walked me through the process of choosing a
scooter.
