Vespa’s Everywhere

Posted on November 29, 2011 by irishroverpei


On our recent weekend visit to Halifax we went to the local Vespa Scooter dealership. Wow! what an array of new and vintage scooters. There were Vespa;s dating back to the mid fifties, a very rare Bella, a German scooter of 1952 vintage. In the corner two BMW bikes (boxers) and on a shelf a sidecar. In the show room I was briefly tempted to ask about trading my Lambretta on a new Vespa Stella, list price only $3800. I managed to resist, I think I need to drive the Lambretta for a while before I think of trading. Still it was an very interesting visit and at times I had to rein Linda in a bit when she got excited about the VW convertible and Mini Cooper in the driveway, not forgetting the BMW’s. I managed to leave empty handed but with an updated Christmas list.
Cheers and keep reading.
