Today we bought a new motorscooter. It is a 2007 Vespa LX150. It is dark blue - Tamaqua blue - with a tan seat. We bought it at Florida Motorsports right here in town on Capital Circle NE.
You may recall that we sold our two other scooters using www.craigslist.org. This new scooter has 12 horsepower compared to the 8 horsepower that the Vino 125 had. It also has a roomier seat and foot steps for two middle age adults. It has a 4 stroke engine - with electric start. It gets near 100 miles per gallon.
This scooter easily does 60mph - but Nancy and I are comfortable going 30mph. 99% of the time we will use it in town. Nancy likes having a scooter because there are so many cars on campus and so few parking spots. The scooter parking spots are almost always empty. We also like to use the scooter to go to football games. We get around traffic - also they let us park in the VIP parking lots for free.
Nancy seems to be more concerned with capturing her flowers in the photo than the scooter.
Side note - orginally this morning I had cut a deal for one that was plum color with a tan seat - because I thought it was close to Florida State maroon and gold. When Keith and Nancy went to dealership to pick up the scooter - they quickly switched the deal to dark blue with a tan seat. I am glad they did.
