It seems yesterday
but it was back in 1961 when I purchased a brand new Vespa.
It was the envy of my entire little town because I was the first
to own such a beautiful new scooter at my age. I experienced
lots of pain with it because scooters when driven on unpaved
roads are not easy to handle and control so a little rock can
cause a fall. My elbow and knees were constantly bleeding because
of this. But in between falls I had a great time showing off
to the girls my ultimate toy.
