Multiple Sightings
We know about the spare time a Vespa gives you in the parking part of your life. To those who've been taking that time and squandering it over a picturesque parking spot, I apologize for having been lax in capturing the visual products of your labor. Here's one I saw in Soho, New York (the photo fails to show the metal sculpture perfectly placed in the background). 
Have you been to flickr lately though? Here's one I found there from Soho, London (a much better photo than mine).
If you go to flickr and do a tag search for Vespa you get more than thirty-five hundred images. Now here's the catch. They're not all Vespas. Many are definitely Vespa-related because they were taken from a Vespa (parked and moving). Many are merely mistakenly identified imitations. The most common culprits are Hondas and Yamahas. To those who've been noticing these errors, I challenge you to a little game of "non รจ un Vespa." I don't know how we'll keep score or how to determine the winner but for an example of how to play, visit this list of pictures tagged 'Vespa.'
