    Fair play to you shakamone, dare to be different I say :)

    I have to say when I seen it at first I thought it was a lil boy racer type effort, but when I did a double take it has the whole Italian Retro cool going for it :cool:

    I'd love a Vespa myself but don't think there's room on the back for a babyseat :o

    A lot of mopeds have compartments under the seat. It would go in there, no bother.

    A Vespa is not a Moped:eek:
    Its a Scooter.

    Totally. I was just testing you all, obviously.

    That's not to say you couldn't shoe-horn a baby under the seat of a moped either.

    Cracking east german version of the vespa, the IWL comes with all you need to transport a young family.

    the stereo would need to be retro-fitted obviously.

    Hi. Thanks for the coment. Whats the difference between you and some scumbag young one playing Lady Gaga out loud on their phone in public?

    Get used to being annoyed my friend.

    Eh, music doesn't come out of me? Whereas little skangers playing songs through the loudspeaker on their phones, and you, inflict music on the general public. If I don't like them doing it, I'm certainly not going to like you doing it.

    I have no interest in you boosting your ego by having music coming out of your scooter, moped or whatever you like to call a seat with a little engine under it. Some people crave attention, you could try big brother. That way I can switch you off.

    It is a bit arrogant thinking everybody wants to listen to music that is played on the moped. load music coming from a car is contained by the cars frame so the noise is dampened but when it is played from the little bike it is for all to hear.

    I agree. I've heard and seen moped man on his travels and fail to see (or hear) the attraction myself. I don't see how playing music out loud on a moped is any different to someone walking around town with a ghetto blaster.

    You think this lad is good? I seen a big fat hairy biker, Had the "outfit" and all and the grey beard with sunglasses and helmet, Your stereotypical biker, Sitting on his Harley in traffic outside Bank of Ireland in traffic blasting out, at full volume, All the single ladies.

    I nearly fell down the steps outside the butchers with laughter.

    But yeah this lad and his Vespa, I don't find it annoying because the only times I see him (Or hear him) he plays some half decent tunes but I can see how it would annoy people if they didn't like that music. But anyway your only going to see/hear him for less than a minute so why fuss about it.
