Vespa crash X 2
« on: February 16, 2016, 07:09:55 PM »
See the gravel, see the inexperienced scooter rider coming....?
Ouch to the pretty Vespa.


Both riders were OK, I guess.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

That actually hurt to watch the first video. Poor Vespa. It's best just to use your rear brake and gentle apply the front on loose pavement.

As for the second video, that was shown on modern Vespa by a dealer who personally knows the riders. All recovered with minor injuries, but admittingly I saw nothing but a comedy of errors. The first scooter crash is believed to be the result of fixation. The poor guy going to the aid of his fellow rider, well ... ::)

Stig;

In the second video I kept thinking defense to use a football term here. It was literally a fence he crashed into.

Second video made me think of cop car pile-up in Blues Brothers....
