My first Vespa

I still remember my first Vespa. She was a fresh PX150 Green that I got stock from a friend of a friend. When I got her, she had a few issues but nothing that 2211 works in Leon Guinto Manila couldn’t fix. Kudos to Nani and the rest of the guys for accommodating me. After they fixed her, she gave me no problems whatsoever. Rode here numerous times to Tagaytay and was my constant companion on errands around the area and when meeting friends in Alabang town center or for my monthly haircut which I don’t really recommend because you end up with a helmet full of hair. :(

She started as a very bare green Vespa and as you can see in the picture I added a few accessories to spice things up a bit. :) Her accessories include 6 auxiliary lamp (not working), 4 side mirrors, 2 old school honk horn, vintage rear bumper with mud flap, antenae, hubcaps, white side wall inserts, white rubber inlays, chrome hook, front and rear racks, windshield with custom mod target sign, fender bumper, numerous badges and saddle seat and rear seat. By the time I sold her she was really heavy but i assure you that people will stare leaving comments like “Sarao!” (A local passenger jeepney manufacturer which tend to put a lot of accessories on their jeeps).

She maybe weird but its an acquired taste and she really made me happy when she was with me. I’m really sorry i let her go. Thats what you call a Patrick Starr move. I wonder where she is?… ti adoro mi vespa.

I’m not alone in this world, look at this beauty…
