If you are going to go that big, get yourself a Harley Davidson. My mid-life crisis resulted in my going out and buying a Harley. It was indeed a whole lot of fun and I really enjoyed the biking culture, but alas, age and an arthritic back caught up with me and rides of any real duration went from being calming and enjoyable to being more than just a little uncomfortable! The bike sat largely unused in the garage for a couple of years, until our grandsons began showing interest in it. Not wanting them to get involved with motorcycles I came to my senses and sold the Beast in 2013. Good memories though!

Reminds me of Robert Persig's book, " Zen And The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance." A great read, for sure...I think that book was one of my reasons for eventually getting into Harley Davidson's. How many people in their right mind(s) buy a bike because it requires more maintenance than some of the other Brands? :icon_scratch:

She may ride without a helmet if she so chooses, but that cute little passenger should have a helmet! Also she needs to close her mouth to limit her bug consumption to a minimum. LOL.

The lure of a winsome biker waif was part of the equation that convinced so many of us 'wannabe 1%ers' to buy an iron horse. I maintain that I am a 'real man' and real men ride Harley's, but the truth be known, if I'd purchased a Vespa (rather than the Harley) I suspect SWMBO would have traded me in for another model! LOL.

I'm thinking an older guy would look rather perky cruising down the boulevard on that beast!

A midnight black Vespa, standing guard over a well used surfboard and Bodhis Garage, for the scooter driving...Real Man!"

I can't say much about the Vespa in that one, but that is the best looking pair of Daisey Dukes I can recall ever seeing!

But you know, if she's going to ride that Iron Horse, she should be wearing thigh high biker boots and a helmet! Safety first. LOL.

Very nice, but where are her riding leathers and her thigh high biking boots...safety first, ya know?

I'm not sure I would ride with that guy. He just doesn't appear to be too tightly wrapped?

A "Howard Wolowitz" restoration project. He prefers a pristine fire engine red second skin for his scooters! LOL.

I'll bet he loses that hat bowler when he takes off. He is badly in need of a chin-strap! LOL.

"A long time ago, in a Galaxy far, far away..."when our grandsons began to show undue interest in my Harley Davidson I decided to retire the hobby and the bike I considered flushing the gas tank, draining the fluids and using the bike as a static display in the man cave. However, it was pointed out to me that my plans would not serve to dissuade the grandsons interest in motorcycles, so I sold the bike. Alas, it would appear that someone (whoever took the picture above) is living my dream, displaying their Iron Horse in the house! LOL.

Indeed, a modern day Jose Doroteo Arango Arambula (and his gang of desperado's), riding at a gallop across the local desert! LOL.

Assuming we are looking down from above on the leather helmeted head of a Vespa driver, that must be one really short biker! LOL. The heat must be getting to me?
