Hell yeah, I love being able to park up front in a crowded lot. I like parking by the Harleys, mostly to make them question their manhood (the one on the right is actually a Victory, but it's the same crowd).

Is that a vespa? I like the wrapping on it

Thanks! It's neither a Vespa nor wrapped 😁

2007 Honda Metropolitan (1st gen) in Honda's "Purple Kanji". Lowered, stretched, bigger rear tire through the former rear light cutout, and a few go-"fast" goodies. Only 49cc, but can do 50+ MPH on a good day.....given enough green lights.

My favorite go-fast part:

No need to apologize :)

We are all having fun here. You should make it another separate post with more pics and specs. We are a small community and need all the content we can get.

My neighbor has a legit Vespa! 2-stroke, manual transmission, and it's even got the spare tire. Very clean and spunky little thing. I've been meaning to ask them about it...

They are so cool. I just about bought that red and white one a few years ago, it reminded me of my Dad's old early 80s Seca a little bit, just had that kind of retro look to it. In hindsight I shoulda just bought the damn thing.
