Living and Loving a Fat Lady

Fat Lady- someone, who is fat of course. Kinda hard to be around with. May come across as a pain every now and then. Eats a lot. If you have a fat friend, she takes up a lot of everything(not that she has a choice).

Are Vespa’s “fat ladies”?

Yes, they are and more.. much more..

But I never mentioned anything bad with being a “fat lady”..

Vespa’s eat oil, much more than any other bike I’ve heard of. Kinda hard to be around with cause it’s an aquired taste, definitely not for everyone. Can definitely be a pain in the butt! And she definitely eats a lot of your time.
But wasp owners already know this.

Before we all got our wasps, we already had the question brewing in our minds.
Questions like “Would she be easy to maintain?” and “What would people think of me when they see me on my vespa?”

But, see, that’s it.. Vespa owners tend to be more on the artistic bohemian side.
And artists tend to break the mold! Artists to a certain degree- don’t really care what other people think. And owning a Vespa only makes this statement all the more true.

To those contemplating on getting one, READ THIS PART CAREFULLY.
A Vespa is much like any other italian piece of machinery. It’s design was probably molded by the gods. Its mechanicals are tedious but if maintained properly works heavenly. It wants attention but only from those who can understand what it is. It can be in the middle of a big crowd of new big bikes and stand out like no other. It is unique simply because no two are simply alike. I can say the same thing for a Lamborghini or a Ferrari and it will still ring true. But a Vespa is a Vespa.. It’s a class on it’s own. It’s my fat lady and I love it.. Beware though, owning this fat lady goes with the lifestyle. This different, unique, “live life to the fullest” lifestyle.

Viva la Vespa! Brava Vespa!
