Man -- -- I hope you got a full face Helmet to ride those scooters -- 'cause I sure as hell be embarassed to be seen on one

If you're too insecure to ride one, you've got other issues to deal with.  70 miles per hour one one of these is a blast! 

70 MPH -- -- Man, I would say it is time to shift outta 1st gear

But hey I owned a Vespa once -- when I lived on Bermuda -- It never looked as nice as this one but it got me around


Yeah, the lack of shifting is different to get used to, but for a single cylinder 70CC two stroke, it's a blast to drive.  Like I said, it's just an additional toy to play with until the bug gets back on the road Smiley  There's definitely no comparison between the two......

I had one project that took from 1984 until 1999 before I finished it. I thought of selling and or bailing out more than once but I would roll it of the garage and wash it. I also kept up my subscription to Hot Vws to keep me going. The car ended up in Hot vws also so it was worth it. During the build I got into dirt bikes, boats, got married, moved from So Cal to Maryland and then to Oklahoma and I towed her along. I would get burned out and walk away for a few months and then go back and work on her some more. Just keep plugging away....The good part is she will keeping going up in value....Good luck with the car.

I took it as exactly that Smiley  In reality, there's no way i could ever get rid of the bug.  I've always been a VW guy and still own 3.   It's just been a long, slow road on the most recent evolution of the car, made even tougher by the general decline of the aircooled brotherhood/scene up here i NorCal. 

One way or another, the bug will live again!!

well my comment (or help  Grin) would be exactly what Fiatdude said. i am not sure about the fatchicks though  Undecided
anyway, you would look better and probally feel better in the bug. just try it. you'll see, just set it up that it isn't a whole deal to maintain, maybe a change in wheels, it can co wonders.

or come to my seminar: how to be cool again! deposits are taken at 500 dollars a session (norefundable)

just do what feels right (and sell the twowheelers)
