My uncle came back from vacation one year with this 45 and we kids wore it out on the turntable.

I swear, if I ever make it back to Ann Arbor (I’m about 45 miles away right now), the perfect Vespa town . . . I will have one. With a NRA sticker.

No, but I do have 7 pre 1970 Vespas.
One very much like that sans cannon, pity.
Plus 4 Lambrettas.
Think ‘super fun’ lawnmowers.
Keeps me off the streets...

Not ragging on you, just wondered if you had any knowledge of that odd one.

As a geezer I recall the Vespas before the flood of light Japanese motorcycles and scooters.

I heard Bob Marley spent a summer in Detroit (yeah, the one in USA) working in a car plant. I will betcha he got a good dose of the MoTown sound that summer. I think he came up to spend some time with his mother. His father may have been an English bloke.

ps I ride a G. S. Scooter with my hair cut neat.
