10 blogs. wow!

This is my tenth post. I'm really quite excited by that.

And, even though my job is kinda crap because I don't know what I want, and other things are really giving me the irits, (like people only giving one weeks notice and leaving a community program stranded, again) I want this to be a cheery post. I can tell anyone who cares to listen about the other stuff another day.

So, I'm going to tell you about my vespa. The pink one. I love it, and it really is pink! Custom, Harley Davidson Pink. One of a kind, and almost completely rebuilt after I stacked it a day after I bought it.

I love that bike. I don't ride it as much as I would like to, and that makes me a little sad, but I love knowing that it is there. Its an expensive thing to say that about, because this isn't some 50cc mini thing. No no, I went all out. I bought the 200cc Grand Turismo. and I love it.

I was all set to get the 150cc model, until the guy who assessed me for my motorbike license asked me if I would *really* be happy with that much power. So, when I eventually got my learner permit (after 2 goes at the written test. stupid stupid written test) I took the bigger one for a quick spin. I was hooked from the first corner. The pick up is so much better. Its a bit bigger all over, and that made me feel better in the traffic. and, it has shiny chrome mirrors, which the 150cc did not have at the time. Truth be told, I think that the mirrors were a big selling point.

And the pink part? I wasn't really a pink girl at the time. But, it just hit me when I saw the paint swatch, and I have never regretted my decision. love it love it love it!!

People are always telling me that it is not a good investment, that i should do something better with my money, that I don't ride it enough to justify having it. I think they just don't get it. I love my vespa. I love the feeling of riding it, I love knowing that it is there for when I need to blow the cobwebs out, and I love feeling different. Not everyone has a Pink Vespa.

But I do. And besides, if I can't do it at 25, when can i?

I love my pink vespa!! Can you tell??
