The Duke

So the next time some dweeb on a Harley or a an 8mpg SUV tries to imply anything about your manliness for riding a scooter, you just send him to talk to the Duke, ya hear, pilgrim?

This is great. I'm going to expand on it on my blog and add a link to yours from my site.

I think my Vespa actually frightens a lot of guys who worry about all the compensating they do....

Thanks Steve, but it's not nearly as great as where you took it.
(folks if you haven't already, check out Steve's expansion http://www.vespalx150.blogspot.com/ )
Your meditation on the need for power versus confidence and courage is sublime.
It made me think of a paint scheme I was thinking of form my P200e before I decided on the one that's underway. I had been thinking of a Millenium Falcon/ Star Wars theme... with text on one of the cowls, "You came on that? You're braver than I thought!"
Might still have to do it some day, somehow the Falcon theme on a late seventies custom Vespa, just seems fitting.
