« on: June 12, 2021, 07:37:05 PM »
Didn't have the chance to talk to Brian today, so I went to Trieste, to look at scoots.(pls see pics)
Cruisers dock right at the citys center.

A lot to see, alot to discover and a lot to eat.
Happy and safe scootering, Ruffus

With so many 2 wheelers on the roads, curious how they treat one another?
As competition, or more as fellow riders in a co-operative manner?
2014 BV 350  "IndiGO" (fast, strong and tireless)
2006 Honda Rebel 250  "Snow Leopard" (stealthy, agile and durable)
2018 Lance Cali Classic 200i  "Black Panther" (smooth, nimble, quiet and quick)
2016 Wolf V-50 (sold)

Wanted a Kymco, ended up w a Lance, but that forum is inactive, so I am here

@MB, actually there is mot much of competetion among scooteristi here in Italy. O'course younger gents/gals on stronger or more prestigious brands have to have their pole-position at traffic lights. But mostly it's a friendly, admiring, and knowing smile you give and get from your fellow rider.
Yes, I have seen some really mean looking guys pn scoots too, but very rarely.
And, it's nearly always summer here.
 Means gals ride italian style. Miniskirt, high heels and tank top. Maybe a Prada handbag.
Happy and safe scootering, Ruffus

Seems like a good time for a "pics or it doesn't happen" comment.

Ruffus, I lived in Rome for 8 years and it is just as crowded with scooters as Trieste, since there is a Varco prohibition on cars entering the center of the city. Its packed with scooters.
