    I had a motorcycle just like that when I was a kid it was an old Lambert. It ran like New I paid $10 for it.

    HOLD UP ! ... Victor "Vespa" nearly lost his life after being attacked by hornets ? How poetically-dark this universe can be. (Vespa - Italian word for wasp)
  • @Coral-reef.

  • @user-tp8zc3mo6x

  • @rustygarasi
    I like part when his wife whisper, "let it go". I've same situation when sold my Vespa VB1 and Vyatca.

    I'm puking at how amazing that is 75 bucks a pop I'll take them all right now due cash. I remember Vic and Tibor in Toronto and Murray in Calgary the main Vespa guys in North America back in the 80's 90's
  • @athiker7209
    That was a special moment. My eyes teared up a little over that transaction.
  • Back about 1961 the mini bikes were king. One guy up the street had a Vespa. As I recall you pulled the clutch and rolled the grip to change the gears? Sorry but 61 was a while ago for me. You couldn't give me that scooter at the time. Today I would kill for it!!

    Vest buzz are collector's items and that's why you can't find them running. You can bet that someone has many times the original price into them. You're beautiful

    20k is a fair price. Thanks for sharing. Also love that GS MK1 in the graveyard.
