How to wheelie a Vespa

[mika]

With rumors in other threads that the Vespa is dead in mind, I cam across this at Visordown.com. More along the lines of Buster Keaton here is a bit of Friday fun.

i like that he took the sidecovers off


scooters are easy to wheelie because of the natural poor weight distribution, start off with your feet on the ground, crank it and yank up!

That was frickin funny!

It reminds me of yesterday when I saw two Emirate kids screaming down the smooth marble of The Emirates Mall in Dubai in these sneakers that had a inline-skate wheel buried in the heel. They were cruisin'! And I mean wicked-fast! But same concept.

I almost bought a few pairs for my nieces and nephews but decided that my siblings would not care for me to be the Uncle responsible for their deaths...and no meter-maid mall cop would allow it in the US.
