    Jonathan began riding Vespas in 1983. Since then a wide variety of stylish transportation has taken him in a big full circle all the way back to riding Vespas in the San Francisco Bay Area. This time it is a veteran software developer's means of getting out of the city, with the wife to the beach (in shortest time), to and from the office downtown (in shortest time).

Drops : None.
Maintaince : $120.00 of shop maintenance, about $50 of self-installed parts.
Price for New Piaggio X9: $... not cheap. But I didn't pay list either, by a long shot.
Cost per week to fill up $8.00 plus or minus for the X9, $4.00/wk for the ET2.

I bought the Vespa GT in September, 2005 I have 1600 miles on it.
I ride to work and back mostly.
This month in KC has not been a good riding month.
It costs about $2.50 to fill per week.
It is a great machine and a great way to move from A to B.
