I’ve been lusting after a Vespa for a few years now. Mike has his M1 and is a full out biker. I’ve been wanting to get mine for awhile so that he and I can ride together (right now, I’m relegated to the “girlfriend seat” on the back of his bike)

You in drama class – I can see that working.

Oh and thank you; I try to sound intelligent and/or funny, and my blog roll is made up of people/sites that I find worth reading and even talking to.

Ok, so I have to tell you… the fishtail parka thing did ring a bell, but I wasn’t sure. I first heard it in high school drama class (huh, imagine me in drama class?). And, for the record, when you do comment, I love it. Your insight always adds here.

The whole fishtail parka and pork-pie hat thing is a reaction to being British, and associating Lambrettas with the Mod movement (Check out the film Quadrophenia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrophenia_(film) if you don’t understand this). I’ve never had a blog, so that must have been someone else I think.

Also, I know I comment regularly, but I try and not comment unless I have something to say.

HELMET yes! And me and your mom talk all the time, she didn’t tell you?

I’m sure you’ll be safe, but it would be against my nature to not say something. Include pictures of you wearing the gear and riding the scooter!

I know! Very excited. The weather is stunning today and all the hipster Vespas are out… I’m so excited!

Ah, weather-smeather (but I totally hear you.. Toronto is brutal for winters!) I’m totally going through with it. I mean, it’s on the List (which basically makes it set in stone).

Fishtail parka, eh? Hm, I could go for that. PS, I left you a comment on another comment that you left me, but not sure you got it.. I could have sworn you had a blog at one point Ken, no? If you do, SEND ME THAT URL!

Hey, have you been talking to my mom?

No seriously though, I hear you. I’m a little terrified, for sure, but I know that overcoming that fear is all part of the process. Along with my new semi-fancy riding gloves, I’m on the hunt for an old-school helmet, you know, those ones that make you look like a beetle. Now who’s going to crush a cute little ‘ol beetle?
