Is that a new design or a vintage one? Genuine Scooters makes really nice vintage styled scooter called the Stella that is much cheaper than a vespa. I'm thinking of getting one in the spring for my drive to work.

I believe the Stella is a copy of the Vespa made in India. They're making replica Royal Enfields there, too, based on the original production machinery.

I figure I've always been rather conservative. I wear suits, im gonna be looking for jobs with my masters degree in hand and Im living with osmeone in a monogamous relationship, why not conserve natural resources and money by going with some think so frugal on gas

I'd really like a Stella to go to work on because I only work 6 miles from home, don't have to go onto any major roads or highways and for political and financial reasons, I love the gas mileage that they get. I'd like to do my little part in sticking it to the man. lol

There's a nice scooter shop in Cleveland that sells Stellas too.

I am definitely gonna look into a Vespa eventually. Right now I can either cycle to work or take mass transit but If I had a longer commute and no place to change at work, I think a suit would do better on a scooter than a mountain bike.

I'd prefer to get a hybrid or green vehicle but will def. look into these two-wheelers too.

Yo, dat's media hype. The homicides actually dropped a bit and where higher (over 400) in the early 80s.

Yeah, the city's not that bad at all. The problem isn't the streets, it was Street.

I want one of those scooters pretty bad myself.
