NKSR*: The Beeb's Vespa
« on: April 15, 2022, 03:45:44 PM »
"What happens when two pop icons get together?"
No, not a baby girl named Izzzie.

J. Beiber, that aging Canadian adolescent once rode a Vespa somewhere (he can't remember, "they talked funny!")
Now we have "a new exclusive Vespa model personally ideated and designed by the singer."

"...ideated".....gotta love Italian Beeb-ettes.

She'sa all white-a; even the seat-a is a all-a white-a. And the flames-a, you know all white-a, too. Crazy!!


I'm thinking most buyers of new Vespas, esp. ltd ed Vespas, are older dudes. I wonder how many will be buying these, not for themselves of course - but for their 14 yr old daughters?
And I want to be there on her first ride - when she stops using too much front brake in the sandy street in front of her Mar-a-Lago estate! Oooh, she's gonna wish she didn't have shorts on!
Vespa better make plenty of "white-a" spares.



I knew the kid could sing, but didn't know he was another Leonardo da Vinci !

More hands-on activity "creating" at Honda, Harley and Kymco than this "Beeb kid."

"BRITISH
informal
a secret payment, typically one made illegally; a bribe:

My daughter said Vespa paid the kid - I said I bet his people paid Vespa ....to keep his name & image in the news.
My daughter is probably correct.....

I'm waiting on the billie eilish ltd ed model.
It will be cloaked in 14 black Urbano Tuncanos.....dragging the road.
With a little teeny/tiny sliver of a head light....barely open.

Now you’re more down with the kids than me Stig.  I’ve vaguely heard that name but can’t put a face to it!  Much less a song. Can I be arsed to Google ‘em?   Maybe later 😂

OK so Urbano Tucano piqued my interest sufficiently to hit Google. Not seen this side of the Pond, but an informative browse, thanks!
