A cousin tries a Vespa

This is my brother's daughter. She is 14 and next year she is allowed to drive a moped, 50 cc. She has had her eye on my son's (her cousin) Vespa 50 R from 1973. This evening we let her drive it.
This was her first try at driving a moped/vespa. She was very good. This first lesson was dedicated to drive in first gear, brake and stop.
Now she definitely want's a real Vespa, no twist'n'go!

(the drive was taken place in a fenced area and no animals were injured).

Buon compleanno, mio figlio!

The Vespa received a hasty respray in a 60's original Vespa color, giallo, or orange as I would say. The Vespa was blue when I bought it. The wheels was also sprayed in creme. This article was published exactly 17 years after Adrian was born.
