Then there's 'Quadrophrenia', but that seemed to be about multiple rear-view mirrors. During my last visit to Milan there were so many dudes who were, let's just say, immaculately groomed and dressed in what I would consider, er, suspiciously gay attire (if it were here in the U.S.) Of course in Milan it's normal to ride your bike around dressed in a black leather skirt suit with mink trim.

I consider them quintissentially European. Denim cutoffs with a Harley & dykes on bikes would be considered gay. Goot~if it still moves, I guess it's ok.

I ask this because I regularly see an enormous fellow commuting on New York Avenue on a Vespa or similar scooter, and it just doesn't look right. Is there a weight limit on Vespas?

We do work on motorcycles on a regular basis, we all do own them as well as scooters. All scooters are motorcycles, not all motorcycles are scooters. Some people prefer the way a scooter over a traditional motorcycle, some prefer the traditional motorcycle over a scooter. We love them all. @dcpublis
