Doc Marten Vespa?

Just out of curiosity... A few years ago, Gravity Pope was giving away a Doc Marten themed Vespa. If I remember correctly, it was a pretty rough looking ET3 with union jack side cowls and a DM logo on the front. I must have tried on about 50 pairs of Docs to get as many ballot cards as possible! I w...

I totally get that the vintage scooter look is second to none - however this crappy plastic chinese knock off is an absolute sin. There will never be anything quite as beautiful as a classic Vespa (except a classic Lammy) - however all this does is cheapen everything wonderful about those classic ma...

Please stop and ask yourself why these appear to be good deals in the first place. Ask yourself if a SE Asian scooter refurbisher really is interested in giving you a good deal on a great vintage machine, or if they are just interested in unloading undrivable garbage to stupid American fatcats to pu...

That is very odd - I tried the ticketmaster website earlier today and there wasn't any available! Maybe I will give them a call....

Thanks for the info! *fingers crossed*

Have fun at Oasis - I am working out of town, so I am going to miss that show. :(

$12 for the Jam and the Clash - wow dude. That is rad.
I saw Nirvana for a can of soup. But they were ass and got booed off stage.

I'm working out of town that week otherwise I would gladly take that ticket off your hands. Have fun at the show - wish I was going.

Hey Audrey, I know that there is a local guy who may have a silver P200 for sale. I believe it is a 2004 or something - so I assume that it is a European import. It looks freakin' awesome. I have no idea how much he wants for it or any other details. I had contacted him once in regards to it when I ...

Surely a decent lawyer could have argued for an attempted manslaughter charge, no?

The psychology of people in cars is absolutley baffling. They could be the nicest people in the world until you put them in their own private mini-tank. Scary stuff, man.

This is a recent change to the law which allowed you to operate a 50 with only a learner's permit.

Yeah so that's disturbing, but I was a bit more shocked by some of the comments people posted. Are you kidding me?? I can't tell if the commentors or the guy on the bike are more dangerously stupid.
